Although I do not agree with how just this is, I think it's a good move as the franchise system will only work if their is real competition for places in super league, clubs will not feel the need to develop in some areas if there are not many other teams knocking on the door.

No , unless an existing other SL club at that time had imploded financially , which is the case for us |

Anyone who does not think this is a good thing must be losing it.
Leigh were unjustly relegated in the name of expansionism ie Toulouse and how fitting it is that the unsustainablity of another expansion team has given them the chance to return to their rightful place.

Leigh – like us in 2006 and Widnes in 2005 – were justly facing relegation for finishing in a relegation spot: a relegation spot that they (like us in 2006 and Widnes in 2005) knew about when they entered the competition and agreed to by entering it.
They've now avoided relegation because, it would appear, another club has been docked points and, albeit retrospectively, finished in that relegation spot.
Just a pity Wigan's points deduction for cheating in 2006 came the following year |

Those docked points only come into play next year, Gateshead will start on -6

Incorrect , the Gateshead club have requested to re start in Championship 1 , and the RFL have agreed to let them , they could have left the Championship with 10 teams and had 11 in Championship 1 , but they decided to retain the same structure as last season and invited Leigh to make up the numbers , we were happy to oblige
