So at worst you’ll gain a modern grandstand that might well attract new fans & sponsorship opportunities & lose 1 old covered terrace & upset a few old boys who insist on standing on the same bit of crumbling terrace they’ve stood on for 40 yrs.

I thought the plans involved turning the pitch 90 degrees,so it’s doubtful they’d have the exact same pitch dimensions & impossible to have those same railings. Bus shelter,I’m sure a modern grandstand with corporate & community facilities will count for more than an extra non covered end if that’s what is built,especially as one of DP’s 2 ends is an unusable grass bank.

Thankfully they waited until Boxing Day,they’d have been plenty of upset kids in Leigh yesterday unwrapping that.

Might have enough for a Nines team.

Wow another quality player gone,the club is in free fall and heading for L1 if they are still in business by then.

Errea have knocked out some truly awful kits for several clubs since they moved into RL.

Those London shirts look more like training tops,disappointing.

It looking like the board are just hoping there are 2 worse teams than us,there certainly won’t be a dead duck like Town last year & Keighley have been making some quality signings since getting promoted so it looks like a season long battle with Swinton,Newcastle & maybe London to finish third from bottom.

Just when things were looking positive for the club.

I’m pretty sure Leeds couldn’t afford it,didn’t Legal & General pension fund pay for it.

The home one is poor but I quite like the away kit.

Good solid hardworking forward,but after suffering a few head knocks I’m glad he’s put his long term health first.

Holgate would be a great signing,he’d be as good as any 9 in the Championship but there is a community lions tour at the end of next season & I think he’ll want to go on that before thinking of signing pro forms.

Worrying lack of activity lately & a rumour Eaves has left the club which leaves us with what 22 players ? with at least 3 coming back from serious injury.

Young Huddersfield fullback Auden McGowan has joined Batley on a season long loan.

Pretty sure the minimum NRL contract for a player named in a clubs top 30 now stands at $120k,hardly peanuts.

Unless the clubs get a first team regular for 3-4 yrs,probably on a lot less money than a 32 yr old NRL import.

It’s almost as if there isn’t a thread titled IMG’s proposal’s

The size of that logo is ridiculous & totally ruin’s the shirt.

Really nice,brings back memories of that great Challenge Cup run & the quarter final at Knowsley Rd.

The NSW shirts over the last few years have been pretty good although spoiled somewhat by the oversized & ugly Brydens logo but this new one is pretty poor & still has an oversized & ugly sponsor’s logo.

Struggled with injuries last season but hopefully for you he’s over them and as we’ve seen it’s often the unheralded imports that have a big impact.

The Dolphins have signed England born forward Elijah Rasmussen,the 17 yr old prop moved to NZ when he was a young boy & has represented the Māori Union side,he’s expected to play U19/Qld Cup in 2023.

Reports in Sydney that Wakefield have signed former Bulldogs forward Renouf Atoni on a 1 yr deal. Atoni moved to the Roosters last season but failed to register a first grade appearance & the club have released him from his contract to take up Wakefield’s offer.

You’d think at 33 & coming back from serious injury Aekins will be the starting fullback.
