lf he's put it in Writing, could Wigan just accept it and say they are now preparing for the Grand Final

If the RFL had a backbone they'd accept it as being a statement of default, award the match to Wigan and impose allowable sanctions on Beaumont and the Leigh Club.

I really like DB for that he’s done for Leigh and the game in general, but this is embarrassing beyond belief, what are Leigh trying to achieve here. 

As long as middle aged men in Leopardskin clad clothing adore him he cannot do no wrong, it will be Wigan and the RFL's fault for not giving in to him, they will stand by their man, blindly, as always.

How long before my emails been hacked excuse.

Their is no other way he can defend his rant, then to deny it was him that sent it.

This really is embarrassing.

He has yes, but that doesn’t mean what I said isn’t correct. SL is better for Degsy’s Leigh being in it than without, well it was before this morning anyway. 

Just a shame that 'degsy' has to be involved. (For the game, not his darling followers).

According to BBC Sport, the RFL has declined to comment!

The stadium safety officer was an ex police officer who's fully up to speed on these things.

 

 

 

Is that statement supposed to install confidence, these days it's the opposite.

I've already seen leigh fans supporting his stance in standing up to the "health & safety brigade".

[wilsontown]

So there's an SL semi-final the day after tomorrow, the owner of one of the teams has said they aren't going to play, and the RFL has nothing to say? For the love of Christ make it stop.

Nigel should immediately take steps to put in Wakefield instead. Its about time Beaumont was put in his place. Yet again hes a complete embarrassment to the sport 

And that would make an even bigger farce, it's a big publicity stunt, I was born in Leigh (but got out) and fishing popular and it looks like he has no problems getting bites

I get that, but the fans have bought into it massively so surely it’s a success. At the CC final there was leopard print everywhere. I bet they sell more merch than if they’d stuck with the Centurians. 

That's because they are Leigh fans celebrating their teams success by buying the only thing they can buy now......tacky leopard print merch. I successful brand would appeal to non Leigh fans because it would be a nice design.

Centurians was an equally awful logo,  you just played in proper Leigh colours back then.

Ultimately some people like tacky gimmicks........especially when the club is successful.

Put it this way.....it isn't winning any design awards.

If Toronto Wolfpack was still in the league it would all be their fault somehow.

The sport does not need publicity stunts like this - if indeed it is one.

Well it's giving the Leeds fans something different to moan about.

Im sure plenty of Leigh fans will buy direct from Wigan if they are genuinely likely to sell out their allocation. Which I'm sure is what happens when Leigh have played Wigan in the league. Is this maybe DeBeau's way of trying to generate a bit more income? thinking he could sell more than the allocated 5400.

What away following do Leigh usually take to Wigan games?

Wigan are blocking anyone buying tickets on-line who hasn't previously purchased on-line. If you are not registered you have to go down to the ground and show address ID.

It's going to guarantee headlines which nothing else could have. The RFL should not comment until they're sure exactly what this is, a wind up or not.

I can just imagine their reaction when someone points it out, like oh God what has he done now (with more expletives). Talk about doing a job on shifting sands.

It's cos Nigel is still asleep on the put-up in Dereks box room. Must have been a good night.
