That is looking increasingly to be the case, at least if you want to be a proper player in the league and not just another Wakey.
The Leigh experience has shown that is actually possible, with solid, and significant, financial backing. It maybe also crystallises in the mind whether or not we'd really [iwant[/i to go up without something similar?
Leigh still have to make it stick, of course, and not come straight back down, and for the good of RL as a whole we have to hope they can. It does also, as mentioned above, lead to the conclusion that straight P&R would work,[i if all[/i clubs at our level were generally better funded.
