| Quote: Donnyman "Thanks for a very interesting post. Can you clarify the funding is it say 12 SL2 clubs on £600K and 12 SL1 clubs on £1.780 Million (I think that makes the £25M a year)........
This is far from "Supergreed" and sounds good.... However in the current "second 10" as per the league tables sit Sheffield, Whitehaven, Batley and Halifax so would superleague really take a small cut in their funding and give clubs who have no real chance of competing in Superleague half a Million each to waste??
How would SKY feel about this? They are not happy with the elite product so how does Batley.v.Sheffield go on Television wages paid for by SKY??
To me there has to be quality well funded clubs at the top of the championship to replace those who have a bad season, but the scenario you pose wastes a lot of valuable SKY money on clubs who can maybe sneak promotion if the gods are with them but would collapse against the big boys.
Most of the money needs to be in Superleague and only a small portion to be available to potential SL clubs in the championship probably paid as prize money for coming say top two.. With respect this is the real world and Lenegan would be shot at dawn by SKY if there was a repeat of the last set up currently breathing it's last.......'"
The key is MINIMUM salary spend of say £1.2m and being a FT club, not many clubs outside SL could afford £600k+ above central funding, that stops the ludicrous situation of some clubs in recent years who took the schilling and paid back loans |

| I've watched Salford for 32 years and that's up there with the worst performances I've ever seen (and I've seen more $hit than most of you can imagine  ). Absolutely disgraceful. Congrats to Leigh (who had plenty out btw) but as a Salford fan that perdormace absolutely stank. |

| Quote: Donnyman "Rich owner
Modern ground
M62 position
Can compete
At a time when Bradford are history, London Failed, Canada/USA failed, and the mighty Widnes have fallen, it is a massive positive for a heartland club with a rich owner to be knocking on the door of SL season after season...
That season after season has been regularly throwing up a reason why Leigh can't join/stay in the elite, is the game shooting itself in the foot. for some sort of sporting purity that has nothing to do with good business. Time to say "no" to Toulouse if they fail to find a French RL TV deal......
And yes to Leigh.......'"
Wait until the new Co owner puts his sizeable pennies in !
*Claimed to be a 9 out of 10 chance by the prospective new director* |

This "You only beat us because we were at out very worst" is in no way sporting congratulations. Why not try again and say it properly??'"
Were you at the game?
No?
Ok, toddle off then you fool.
Salford were absolutely f*cking dreadful. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings princess. 
Enjoy your evening troll.  |

If you’ve been watching 32 years then that won’t be close to one if the worst performances once you’ve calmed down
Wasn’t good granted, poor discipline and lack of invention (you cut us apart when you went out wide but tried to bully down the middle) - Leigh deserve a lot more credit than your giving them
And yes I was there

| That was probably Salford's worst performance since they lost 65-0 to Castleford in 1990, but only just. |

Surprise surprise the team that played a bit s!@t lost! That is how it generally works. Leigh’s forwards were solid. We played a pretty error free game. Kicking game was good from Mellor. A great win built on hard work over the 80. Leigh still unbeaten by Salford at the LSV.
