| It was a crazy idea to play the two friendlies against Saints and Warrington. I can see the point in getting up to the pace of Super League but with such a shallow squad it was complacent to say the least, to think that injuries may not be picked up.
Now we are having to deal with the consequences. We have already lost one of our four or five must win games, survival is probably out of our hands unless we can pick up a couple of home wins against the likes of Huddersfield, Leeds or Hull.

| Quote J7P1="J7P1"There is the need to spend money on transfer fees to sign players of sufficient quality to be competitive, and to offload those that are not, but that depends on how important survival in Super League is to those who have the power to make a difference.
If the operational Board has already been advised of no relegation then we still need further signings to make the season more enjoyable for the loyal fan base.'"
I think what is highlighted is a very fair comment, but it is a double edged sword as there is little to nobody available to improve the squad.
We have heard the snippets of one league of 14, two of 10 etc...., but only the league of 14 can commence next season as two leagues of 10 would demote 2 teams and would this be fair with loop fixtures and a good handful of games through the season ?
so its 14 in 2022, or 10 in 2023, but I will go with the former with Degsy playing his cards close to his chest.
This years squad have absolutely nothing to lose, but you would not think that the way they are playing. Last weeks performance was shocking. Friday cannot be any worse as Saints didnt crack any pots against Huddersfield last week either (and we play well against Saints normally).
Degsy gone for a sabbatical from twitter for a few weeks. Reasons behind this perhaps ?

| With most if not all of the Leigh squad on one year contracts it will be interesting to see how recruitment for next season is approached. This may reveal true ambition or may be hamstrung by not knowing definitely what division we will be in.

If this is the question I have not answered then I apologise in respect that I did not realise it was directed at me - Business Man, I have been retired for 10 years - but to answer your question
1. Yes that would be my respect.
2. Considering the application was an open invitation to apply to all the clubs below SL, I can't see that if 'No Relegation' was on offer that it could have been kept a secret, also I would not expect that Derek John Beaumont would have been given sole access to that offer.

So you consider with a reduction of £15M per season from Sky SL clubs are going to sanction a share-out for 20 clubs compared to the present 12, even if the present share for the Championship and L1 was taken out of the equation it would still mean a reduction in Funding the SL clubs now recieve, they will never allow that will they?

Good God man, so you pin all your hope's and aspirations that someone whispered into Derek's lughole or there is a restructure that is going to save us from this mess in which we find ourselves.
By the way who is the business man you were referring to, you wouldn't be referring to yourself with your 'wet finger in the air' strategy would you?

Do you know what’s comical about all this, is current SL owners will have to vote on the restructure. Who would vote in favour of relegating their own club? Now that’s a mess.
As for the business man. I quoted you. Which usually means,I’m asking you. As for the wet finger, give it to the fairies..
