I don't think Tommy thinks Beaumont is egotistical just because of that but wouldn't want to speak for someone else. Previous to that Beaumont had made statements to play with no central funding too. I cant recall over owners doing the same to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanted me to give an opinion to a question you addressed to someone else based on what they said. That's ridiculous in itself but maybe don't bother asking questions if you are just going to moan about the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take that over a discount on some garden furniture for my semi-detached house in a minor suburb of Wigan, but then I’m funny like that eh.

Les Tonks Sidestep Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 It'll be quite funny when he resigns Leigh from membership of the RFL in order to take legal action.

The Daddy Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Leigh were far and away the least competitive side in SL. It doesn't matter which format there would have been or whatever games were cancelled or whatever rules that were supposedly enforced or changed that were unfair. They would always have finished last, no situation changes that and I don't see how Derek Beaumont thinks he might have a legal case. As for Toulouse potentially being promoted subject to future play off results, that has no affect on Leigh performances over the season duration. To drag them into this situation as some sort of lame excuse in my book is just low. Seems like he was hinting that Featherstone or some other Championship club might be the ones to take action if Toulouse get promoted which would also be low because I heard not a single complaint about the Championship league structure until it started to look like Toulouse stood a good chance of getting promoted. This all looks like Sunday league stuff and I'm seeing signs that certain people in the game might attempt to block Toulouse from SL if they won the play off final. That's how I'm seeing it.

Man of Kent Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 One day Beaumont will twig his small-town w***ker mentality is more of a hindrance than help for Leigh. There’s a good club in there somewhere but from the outside it appears to be a personal fiefdom run by a graceless egotist who hires & fires like a movie villain (‘You’ve failed me for the last time, Mr Duffy!’) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I'm seeing it. I've thought this for a while. The myopic club owners of the "super" league will see more value in our (Fev) 300+ travelling fans than they will with Toulouse. Obviously I want us to win the grand final, but if the more likely Toulouse victory happens they should be promoted. It's a sporting contest they will win fair and square. No complaints from me how the championship panned out this year. It was never going to be normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues Ox Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Has anyone mentioned how much Leigh have got in the bank? This is really going to help their plans for next season Either that or its a response to his players jumping ship at an alarming rate and him struggling to bring players in that would challenge for promotion next season.

whatmichaelsays Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 People sometimes wonder why RL struggles to attract talented people to come into key positions in running clubs and the sport. When you see comments in the press from people like Beaumont, Carter and their ilk, you realise it's not about money, but about culture. Who in their right mind, with any degree of choice over where they work, would want to work for people who would come across as old fashioned even by Victorian workhouse standards? I don't think anyone would question Beaumont's passion for Leigh, but he really ought to learn to channel that professionally if he wants people to take him seriously.
