What caught London out last season was;

2; Losing concentration for 5 mins here and there

Suddenly you are 2-3 tries down and chasing the game. I didn't think the bottom end of the league was a huge step up, it was just keeping our nerve and concentration. The bigger/better teams are a different kettle of fish when they hit form!!

I suspect your coach will look at the opposition and navigate the season to do enough to stay up.

Be interesting to see who you sign to compliment the squad you have. London were suggesting they had 'tied in' a number of SL players had they been successful. There must be a few out there who are available.

I suspect he may be one of their weak links. He was fund wanting when it mattered at Fev several times when it came to the crunch.

I can just about agree with this only on the basis that none of the other applicants would have done this either.......who do you think would have done this?

The role of the 12th. club is to ensure SKY get a full and proper league for next season, and to ensure that they are competitive in the process.

Beaumonts club did fine last time in SL, didn't come bottom, had some big crowds and beat Saints and Wigan.

BTW which of the other clubs did you think would have brought a well known sponsor and new money to the TV deal.

Derek Beaumont will certainly put money into bringing in some good signings, he commented he would do this at the start of this process to ensure Leigh field the strongest side possible......

While unknown village Huddersfield with their sub 3,000 Super League crowds has Apple, Amazon, Tesla & KPMG literally battering down their door !

Well done Leigh. It is one hell of a big ask given the time frame though.

Isn't there the time for Mr. Beaumont to add some more quality? They just need to make 11th. spot don't they? They did it last time...

And if not that, they just need someone else to have a bad season?

Surely we are in for a treat with a tight "Relegation" battle. We didn't get one this season just gone, it was all over before any such battle began.......

Didn't Dekka cancel players contracts the last time they were in Super League when they got relegated?

I think you'll find all players contracts are null and void when they come out of super league as more often than not the go semi pro

try again

Depends what written into them contracts.
If there is no provision in that contract for that contract to become null and void if a team gets relegated then the club is liable to honour that contract or reach an agreement with that player on compensation.
Always read the small print in contracts, because player agents do.
