Wasn't it Michael Shenton who was unable to get a release from Cas when they were relegated back in 2006? This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

I thought it was a standard/mandatory clause since P&R was brought back in after licensing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul hicks Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 ITS STANDARD but if both sides agree they can insert a clause to override it from what i have heard from a player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 How competitive do Leigh fans expect them to be this season with the new signings? What will be the target? Just stay up/a good cup run and mid table comfort/a run at a playoff spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be more competitive than our last 3 seasons in SL(although we were alright in 2017 and didn't finish bottom in the regular season). I think there won't be many blowout scores that were seen in previous promoted teams but it depends on how many close games we can convert into wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowys Backside Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It will be a wide open SL. Need to look at winning at least 10 games to stay up. With no easy two points, it should be a great season. Let’s hope it is supported in droves ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Five of the Lopards’ first eight games are against last year’s play-off teams with Hull, under Smith, and Warrington, under what is now a Powell team, thrown in, is a baptism of fire. The earlier they get a couple of wins under their belt, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I don't think Salford have ever beat Leigh at the LSV. I quite fancy our chances considering Salfords current injury issues. Should be a cracking game and hopefully somewhere close to a sell out with the pre match entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binosh Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) I’d be happy to stay up for this season and build, we have never had the chance to do that, I’d be overjoyed to not be in a relegation battle all season on top of that.

Sidlow, Stone, Inu, Ferguson and Aetkins were very important players for us last season. Time will tell how well they've been replaced. Though, Inu's goalkicking doesn't appear to have been replaced, and that could be the difference in a number of games. My hope is that we remain competitive, even if the results don't go our way for spells. There were chunks of the 2017 season, and the majority of 2021 season where I wasn't sure where the next win would come from. Hopefully Lam will do a better job of keeping the players focussed than Jukes and Duffy / Haggerty were able to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Reynolds is quite an accomplished kicker but will he get in the team though, up to his injury last season I thought he was the better of the two halves between him and Mellor, his game changed enormously for the better under Mr Lam but since the arrival of Lam Jnr. there is only room for one, if kicking becomes a problem Reynolds just may get the nod. Please don't any Leigh fan mention Chamberlain as a kicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
