It's all just rumour, conjecture, click bait Mr Donnyman !

I can't see either of Kelly or Marshall coming to Leigh & I would definitely prefer NOT to see Kelly at Leigh, he's trouble.

This is just so called journo's trying to sell pages on the back of agents trying to ramp up interest in their players, most probably in cahoots.

But is there any substance in a determined push for promotion this coming season Ste?

Who is to say that Leigh even need to be promoted ?

Snowy,

Do you mean that Leigh might be invited to join Super League rather than being promoted?

I remember that time DB stood up at a public event laughing at Bradford going bust.

Apart from one incident, Kelly has been great at Hull, no sign of any trouble, been unbeliable on the pitch. Far too good for the Championship htough, I think if his attitude is right he would stll do a job for a lower NRL team.

Well there's a chance of this if TWP and the SL bosses don't agree their re-instatement. As it stands any new owner seems to want guarantees of going straight back into Superleague and no points deduction, i.e. he doesn't want to be penalised for the sins of the last board of directors.

Even though he was one of them

The meetings on this were quickly arranged because the new season beckons (how time flies) and Superleague really do need 12 clubs in there or it mucks up the fixture lists.

So there is a chance that DB is working on the idea he can have a Superleague team fit and ready to take over from TWP if talks with them go nowhere, wether he's had the nod I dunno, he may intend to be ready to fill in or just go for promotion via winning the Championship.

To be fair to him he's put a lot of money and time and effort into Leigh, he was stuffed by the salary cap restriction that didn't let him spend for Superleague, then stuffed by the phoney club, so maybe Superleague are giving him a break. They did OK last time in SL (for a newly promoted side) so fingers crossed,,,,

You can never say never and McManus has made it obvious that SL will not work next season unless it is a 12 club competition.

I suppose it depends on Toronto, but what type of team are they honestly going to turn out next year ?

Is DB committing commercial suicide, or is he setting a benchmark for which makes people stand up and take notice ? Lets be honest, he doesn't mess about positive or negative and you need to be a Poker player in todays commercial world.

it looks like db is recruiting nicely to give leigh a big chance for sl,whether it be 2021 or 2022. just get rid of them fake wolfpackers from sl and my guess it will be 2021.

That is correct, and he was bang out of order. Beaumont was at the time involved in a feud with their chairman Marc Green at the time, and he was even banned from Odsal prior to his naughty comments about Bradford.
