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.

Do you think Leigh’s owner thought about that when he publicly laughed at Bradford going bust and in the process hard working people losing their jobs?
No of course not.
Ergo, couldn’t happen to a nicer owner |

Have played the game for over 60 years to a reasonable level and have never heard that term used.. Shows that one is never too old to learn!

I'm quite happy you've learned something there Fred. Next time you're declarer,and you present the defence with 2 losing options,you have achieved the coup, the Morton's Fork. 
My apologies to the Mods for going off topic. |

Morton’s fork: a practical dilemma, especially one in which both choices are equally undesirable |

Sixty years?!?
Hell of a career that!
I always enjoy your recollections of games from years ago, I'm quite envious of the legendary games you've attended. |

Leigh do seem to be (borrowing a phrase from Diane Morgan) at a fork in its crossroads.
