Perhaps for their part in creating a "cliff edge" for clubs to fall off.
If Leigh had budgeted for finishing outside the top 4 (the point at which their funding drops from $1.2 million to £200k), they wouldn't have a side capable of competing for a play off spot.
Of course, this doesn't just affect Leigh but, all other clubs vying for those prized play off positions.
Did they force Leigh (and any other clubs) to overspend, no.
However, they have created such an uneven situation in The Championship that, it could only be a matter of time before disaster struck and therefore they (The RFL) are complicit in yet another clubs failure.
