Leigh have a valid claim to reject demotion.

Lmao!
Couldn’t happen to a nicer owner.
Goodbye Derek. I’d like to say it was a pleasure.
But it wasn’t.
So I won’t.
Get back to the amateur leagues where your club belongs |

Nice, it is not happening to the owner it is happening to a team and its fans. They had no vote in the events of the last year. The SL and RFL constructed an un-level playing field.

Wasn’t that the same ruling when Championship decided to take the furloughed route?

I agree it's awful on the team and fans but rightly or wrongly the owner took that decision on your behalf knowing he was fighting with a really bad hand. Its a rubbish situation but one of Derek's own making |

No, but going back to the Championship will be better for Leigh. Not exactly the Morton's Fork.  |

| I don't think the way the 2021 season was brought about was very fair on Leigh, and they ddi everything they could to remain competative.
But promotion and relegation is part of sport and they would have to have serious documentation failures at the RFL /SL to allow a legal process to go anywhere.
Scrap that, this is the RFL/SL we are talking about, game on then  |

Guardian reader.I hadn't known of the expression until Gavin Willacy wrote it.
Quoting a religious guy in this secular society - in the Guardian!? Surprised there ain't legal proceedings.

Morton's Fork is a term used in the card game Bridge. I don't play these days but, it never left my memory. I think Leigh now will need a Grand Slam and a few finesses. |

Not sure how legal proceedings would work in this instance but we’ve seen crazier things happen in our game over the years.
Feel for the Leigh’s fans but we live and die by the decisions of our owners (oh god do we!)
Side note - can you imagine the reaction if Bradford had gone up and anyone had suggested there should be no relegation… it would have been anarchy

I have to say I always thought it was very odd for us all to apply for the place this year without some sort of nod and wink that goalposts would get shifted to let them stay. I hope Leigh come back down in, at the very least, no worse a place than they'd have been if they hadn't had this one year in SL. If financially the SL year has been a detriment to the club then it was probably pointless. Anyway, looking forward to some great banter and cracking games between the Bulls and Leigh next year.

The time for Leigh to do any bargaining was before the took their place in SL and not 3/4 of the way through the season.
If they were a couple of wins from safety and prevented from fulfilling their fixtures, then, there may be a case for legal action.
The bottom line is that they took the "free" spot in SL (without earning promotion) and therefore there can be no argument.
