Me too.
After the trauma of 'close season' I'm just grateful that we will have a team to watch. It's a bonus that we have a lot of local lads in the squad and coaching team. (team spirit and pride in the shirt, cannot be under-estimated) On paper, the main squad looks very promising, (I know - it did last season too!  ) and it's now our job to get behind them. I'm looking on avoiding relegation, as a starting point, and anything better would be a bonus - especially if we play some decent rugby, along the way.
I'm not a fan of D/R either, but needs really must, this season. Also, having some of Saints' talent available, is quite exciting!
Roll on Sunday!

We got a decent squad to be fair and the help from the saints lads will only boost us Duffy is confident of 4th or 5th I think that would be a great achievement if we can pull it off

| Quote: joanne callotte "All these "its suits both sides" comments are rubbish, DR only helps the SL clubs, sending out of form players, or those with a questionable attitude to championship clubs, resulting in disruption, and genuine lads missing out.
Not a fan of this at all, basically Holbrook will now pick the team.'"
Go bash the directors/owner, they are still in power. |

| Quote: Cokey "Although i'm not a fan of DR, needs must in our current situation. The last paragraph illustrates the fairness of this arrangement.
“We had a good meeting at Saints with Mike and Justin and also Paul Wellens and Ian Talbot from the coaching staff. They have trust in us that their players will get treated and coached in the right way and they acknowledge that their players have got to earn the right to play for Leigh Centurions with their performances in training and matches.'"
If you believe that you'll believe owt! |

Well, since it was said by John Duffy then I do choose to believe it. Our strangth this year is going to be team spirit and unity. He has preached it since day one of arriving. I trust he will only play the players that deserve the shirt. |

No. Fax hardly used DR at all last season, but the fact that they used it once makes them as a guilty as those clubs that went for it full tilt. DR is there for SL clubs benefit only, it is the thin end of the wedge and when, finally a club goes bust, they'll only have theirselves to blame. |

I agree with what you say but, in our present situation, we are actually using it to try and get out of the mess where we very nearly did go bust - and that was nowt to do with D/R! |

Well happy with this. We have some cracking youngsters that are too good for Sheffield so Leigh is the perfect environment for them. Hopefully Welsby, Bentley and Batchelor will go to Leigh

Alan, I get that in Leigh's case. The clubs going bust will be the one's who voted with SL clubs recently in exchange for DR with said clubs and the short term benefits they hope to gain from such arrangements. Talk about turkeys voting for Christmas!
