Most of the players on Peter list had already been told they would not be here next year regardless of which division we were playing in. Some of their own choosing, Drinkwater had already informed the club he and his partner would be more than likely be returning home to Australia at the end of the year.

Daniel Mortimer will be in big demand, but it will require a huge fee from another SL club to snare him away from Leigh. I think he will stay and give us 12 months but the dust of the 2017 season is yet to settle.

So Drinkwater going to Toronto then

Promising news about Mortimer also, would love him to stay but in all honesty don't expect him to. Hopefully he may feel he owes us, but if not at least we will get dosh to invest elsewhere

I may be wrong here, and I do hope some will correct me if I am but those players that came in late in the season signed contracts with no SL clause's stated in them.

I believe we do have some 'better' signings to announce that will supersede the hole of those leaving ( Goodwin aside - Yes that is a shame we do not have an opportunity to see him in SL , for Leigh)

Don't all contracts only expire on the 30th November? The rules state!

"If a Club's divisional status for the forthcoming season will not have been decided by 31st August,the Club may make two offers of re-engagement,one to cover each of the divisions."

Goodwins contract must have covered Championship,which would have kicked in on 1st December. Or Leigh wouldn't have got a fee.

Someone had the Clubs best interest at heart..

By that reckoning, you'd think any other contracts that covered championship would now be announced already.

Understandable. He was homesick living in Leigh, plus didn't speak English very well.

Plus Toulouse is his home town club.

Going off the rules,there must be complete disarray at present. Championship to SL followed by SL to Championship,the contractual side of things must be a nightmare. The only contract so far with any clarity was Goodwins.

RFL safeguards causing chaos. Who'd have thought it!
