Donny's core support are a good set and I hope they manage to pull through (again).

So do I we had a lot of support from the Donny fans (as well as other clubs) when we were in the mire. We intend to repay it by going down in support when we do not have a game on the Sunday.

A brief visit to the SL ended very badly some years ago , and a few times they've been on the verge of some success but failed.

Is it just me or does this sound all to familiar for my liking?

There'll be plenty of others who go the same way in the next few years. I don't know how much they spent last season but Hanley wouldn't have come cheap. Perhaps they might regret being so ambitious, but some people never learn do they?

I wouldn't laugh at any club going bust at this time, the future doesn't look that rosy for any out of SL.

The Chairmen have got to get together and scrap this farcial contract system, get em all on pay and play and lets have a real salary cap, hard if your a player but its about time they realised its not a bottomless money pit.

Do they have any players that may want to come to Leigh?




Oh yeah... good point.

Good luck to them in getting out of the mire (again).

I'm not sure how many times they can do this before the RFL pull the plug on them though.

They'll want another French team in to replace them if the literally go belly up

They are top of the Fair Play League. If we employed them all, we might cut down on penalties, sin-binnings etc - wouldn't win many games, mind

Yeah but when you never get the ball and are grabbing at shadows, how can you give away many penalties?
