Imagine the scenario were Leigh are forced to take the field with 9 men (against Featherstone's 11, let's say). The winner of the game would be the team that managed to keep at least 9 men on the pitch. If a Leigh player got injured in the first 5 minutes the game would have to be abandoned. Surely the RFL has a duty to avoid this type of scenario and let common sense prevail. It was a tinpot trophy to start with, so would it really be the end of the world if the game was not played?

Remember going down to watch Cas v Fulham. They had a cas based player playing for them and he was waiting outside the ground for us with a huge wad of "complimentary" tickets. Don't think any Cas fans actually paid in that day.

L1 clubs were crazy to agree to this fixture, they should have known they would have difficulty raising a team with holidays booked months previously.

Leon Pryce raised this issue when the play off game was first announced. Seems no one bothered to listen.....
