The problem with ' guaranteed promotion ' is that it is less of a guarantee than ' beating a SL club ' that you are going to be good enough

Not something the Bulls have had to deal with

I can see that thinking but a number of 'near losses' and a 34-30 win over Broncos in a game as important as last weeks, conceding 4 tries in the final minutes, may well suggest otherwise. Based on their spend versus other teams in the league, Leigh should have won every game by a considerable margin this season, as expected, but failed to do so. They must have the best chance of promotion, but it remains for them to demonstrate this quality in the remaining games in the competition.

Is English not your first language?

The Bulls are irrelevant to this, because it doesn't matter if they finished first, last or wherever,, the TEAM THAT FINISHED TOP would BE PROMOTED, end of. That is clearly a "guarantee" in such a system.

The form or prospects of any given team is completely beside the point. If you were good enough to win your league, you would go up. How is that hard for you to understand?

I would agree with that assessment of Leigh and personally I think despite winning the league at a canter they had under achieved until yesterday when you compare their results compared to how much they have spent. For them this system is probably not a good thing but for teams just below them there is still a dream to be had under the current system.

You wouldn't have won the MPG.

Oh and Adam O'Brien was never going part time to join Fax.

I suspect Leigh might go up this year without needing the mpg, and Londons result today, in terms of the potentialy crucial points difference could make things interesting if they could somehow get a result against 1 of the sl teams. 2 super league sides to be relegated? Still highly unlikely but a funny possibility!

In their past 75 league games, Leigh have actually lost just 3 of those matches. Incredible that in any sport that in itself is not rewarded with promotion. It
would be more than deserving on that stat alone.

Yes they had an off day in France going down by 2 points, with an indifferent side and during a well documented period when they did not have one available half back through one reason or another. That performance should not deter from what Leigh are looking like now as a team.

Salford should not be in this competition given the number of points they won on the pitch. That's a top 6 SL side and Leigh just turned them over. A totally different Salford side to the one both Leigh and Bradford beat last year.

No one at Leigh is getting carried away as they have a tough trip to Featherstone on Sunday. Never easy but if Leigh win that and Batley at home that's 8 points. Another win from the remaining 3 would be very interesting indeed which makes your aforementioned comment all the more bizarre.



Yes

Yes they would be promoted , and then relegated 12 months later

How hard is that for you to understand?

The Leigh team now is quite different to the one we had at the start of the season , which partly explains our indifferent form you suggest , constant changes all through the year as well as the change to our coaching team , hopefully we will now see a more settled side that will give us our best chance of getting the results we need

Funny how Leigh fans prefer to forget about last year's 8s campaign in their win/loss ratios.

It's not hard, it's just dumb. You've moved on to your pure personal guess as to what might happen the following year. But that's all it is - just your guess - but more to the point, has fsck all to do with what we are discussing.

We haven't forgot , it's very much just one game at a time , and nobody being taken for granted
