| I thought Leigh might have avoided Relegation with the new re-structure but that seems unlikely having read the outcomes of yesterdays SL meetings.
Seems a little unfair on them. Let them buy in new players for next season, now, and give SL next season a good go. They aren't far of winning games at the moment. A few additions and they could be competitive.

| Quote: Bulls4 "Finally a sensible view after pages of dross.
Everyone knows Leigh have been hamstrung this year to ensure they weren’t a real threat.
Everyone knows Leigh knew exactly what they were signing up for.
The rest is just people trying to wind each other up.

That's not correct. Leigh may hope they signed for this year in Superleague and then next year still in Superleague via the "no relegation" idea and via the 14 club proposal.
But those proposals remain just that whilst the clubs negotiate.

But that is not correct. Leigh knew it was one up one down when they came up hence they knew what they were signing up for. The 14 club proposal was just that, a proposal. As you say ‘a hope’.
Looks like the proposal has been shot down as the pie is too small to feed 14 clubs so it’s sticking to the original one up one down.

| Quote: orangeman "It's a forum. Click bait or not, it's a valid question and currently Leigh with zero wins or London with 1 or Halifax with 1 win is the answer that can be given at present.
What I will say is a competitive side on SL money were removed to make way for Toronto and then a non competitive side not on SL money were promoted to replace them.....I'm delighted London didn't get the nod. '"
As am I that Bradford didn’t get the nod. It was a poisoned chalice. Leigh will likely be fine if not set back a year or two. Bradford london etc could have been ruined for good or at least set back 5 or so years.
Quote: orangeman " From what I've seen of Leigh, Fev and Toulouse, Leigh would give Fev a game....but Toulouse coming up will terrify Wakefield, Salford, Huddersfield et al.....they are a well coached unit and with 1 or 2 smart signings, will be mid table SL next year.'"
Yes Toulouse look great at championship level and I wish them well but people said the same about Toronto and look how that turned out even before they went pop. People have been predicting the demise of wakey salford hudds for years but they are still around year after year in SL

| Quote: christopher "Interesting you criticise the article but can’t get the scores correct yourself?
It was 10 - 6 at halftime and Leigh didn’t score again until leeds were 24-6 up
Leigh were never ‘level’'"
Did Leigh score a try in the first half?
Was it all over when Leeds scored their first?
Was it foregone after the first stanza?
I'm not a professional journalist working for the state broadcaster.......read the article again and tell me that's not a one eyed review ...you pedantic tw@

Calm down, if you’re going to criticise a report for being bad best if you get your facts straight yourself.

| Quote: Donnyman "We don't know exactly what the Chairmen knew, when so many of them tried to get that 12th. place.
We don't know if the 14 club proposal was actually on the drawing board at that time either. We can speculate Beaumont wanted that last place because he's overenthusiastic, but so was every other Championship club with SL ambitions. They all scrambled for that place.......'"
Either way Leigh knew exactly what they were getting themselves into which is the whole point.
As I say I don’t think Leigh or particular DB would be so shortsighted to sign up for a year of losses on half money based on a ‘proposal’ that maybe we will have 14 teams up next year. That would always rely on a vote from the clubs agreeing to share more money out which was never likely to happen.
Hindsight but as I said before, Leigh could be doing what Toulouse and Fev are doing at the moment. Knocking on the door of SL with a real feel good factor. That itself justifies why Bradford and York etc wrongly applied as it was their only shot at SL as they wouldn’t be able to make it on merit on the field.

| Negative RL threads… do you think the RL fan base is glass half full community as we are half way through the comp and the main discussion is not who will win the super league and how fantastic Catalan are doing but ‘are Leigh the worst team’.

L14, Leigh will be a better club away from the toxic Superleague. Apart from the big 6 clubs, the rest are Minions. We should keep well away.
