I wish they hadn’t announced who we’ve signed! This feels like the kind of squad you get when you have one of the lowest crowds in the RL pyramid and don’t have a multi millionaire backer so maybe OM is right and DH has done one.

Maybe BT but why then record a message to such players that we had on day 1? Unless of course it was to say "suckers I'm off to the sun good luck!"

Says it all though he can do a message to them but not the important parties ie the fans.

In all seriousness DH is still there but pretty obviously they are moving to a model that is more sustainable without multi millionaire backing. Hence the huge influx of L1 players. ( the square they haven’t circled is how do you get people to pay to watch a side that is getting spanked all the time/ or is demonstrably weaker than recent squads) Oddly Mr Hughes may be spending as much on the club as before because we are renting 73 pitches.
Candidly, if I wanted to watch Skolars play it’s 20 minutes down the road. I’ll have to have a think about this. Really is very dissappointing.

DH message to fans. Sorry our squad is so ****. Can someone run the concession stand please.

I would not be surprised if we only feature on one Premier game and that one will be away. Which is good tbh as getting to PL on a monday night would be a nightmare, but shows the state of the club

Crash I don’t think Premier are showing L1 games. A bit harsh but may explain why we are excluded.

That would be the only message he should send

God help us. We are going to get some right battering this season.

Best of luck for next season, as an on looker I thoroughly enjoy the passion you guys have. BTW getting spanked every week doesn't stop you loving the club, I should know, I'm a Leyther (Leigh).

Quite right, no club outside Super League are guaranteed success, being full time last season did not deliver success for us, spending money on top players will not always bring success!

If every lower league club fans had strops every time they did not succeed, there would be no lower leagues game left.

We have had tough times in the past, we are still here! Leigh seem to be spending big money this season but I'm sure you will agree, it will not Guarantee Promotion! That's life.

Still only 27 announced (I use the term announced loosely). So 1 or 2 more left apparently.

Of course no one is guaranteed success, but you have to give yourself the best chance. Signing PT players from bottom placed teams will not do that.

I do not expect to see London "succeed" out of some divine right, but the way the club has been run into the ground, the way fans have been treated etc, then yeah I think people have a right to moan. We are a shambles on and off the pitch. If the club sort themselves out, then good luck to them but let's be honest, this coming season has disaster written all over it. If the club are serious, then lets see some proper marketing, gets fans in (keeping them with the side we have will be tough) but tbh, who expects the club to actually muster some worthwhile plans to get people in?? An email from Hughes saying bring a mate??

But we aren't a lower league club....we are moving to a SL ready ground in preparation for SL rugby with 5000 fans
,.........the fact doddery Dave has had to break his silence points to less than a clamour for season tickets or memberships..... this coming season will be a disaster on and off the park and fans are perfectly entitled to both vent as well as stay away.....which the assuredly will do.

If DH wants us to bring a mate, then he should provide a team we are likely to want to bring a mate along to see. Simple.

Given limited resources, how many fans would have spent money on using 3 facilities ahead of the playing squad ?

I noticed the reference to “L1 projects” or some such. I suspect many of these players will step up and be good un’s like Coates and Foster but the distinction between the L1 projects and the L1 non projects is quite a fine one. 2 or 3 projects yes but as it is I think about half the squad comes from L1 so it’s a little disingenuous.
