| Leigh because on the evidence not provided Catalans hasn't done much for the French national team, and it would prove that no one outside the game would bat an eyelid if they stayed or went down:

| I certainly don't have a problem with Leigh.
I don't really feel anything towards them. Just a small club from over the hill. Don't wish them any ill will, but if they where relegated, Super league wouldnt suffer for it.

Do you honestly disagree that Catalans offer more than Leigh to SL? If it was Leigh or Salford, I'd say Leigh, but it isn't.

I respect your opinion,however, If Leigh do go down, then what you're really saying is,shut shop and leave us 12 clubs alone for the good of the game,and protect Catalans.
BTW - The structure will change for the 2019 season,so it might not be a bad idea for them to
go down, and rebuild, regroup, and restructure themselves.
Most folk on this thread are showing a selfish view because they might not have their annual Jolly with a game thrown in.

You might as well say that Catalans should be exempt from relegation
Look, Leigh haven't been given the opportunity to build, and be a bigger club,one season isn't enough. I hope Leigh stay in SL, not just because it's my team,but i believe we will grow as a club and compete better. WE put 50 on you lot twice last year,so we certainly have the potential to get bigger.
All this Catalan crap is down to folk not getting their annual rugby jolly in France/Spain.

| Not bothered who stays up really, the best team on the day and not decided by any dodgy call or incident.

Well yes, to be honest I would say that, subject to them keeping reasonable crowds (say 7k+), an academy, and maybe a minimum number of France-eligible players in the 17.

| May the best team win.
If Catalans do stay up then i duly expect tinned mushy peas and Fredbet to step aside as sponsors and make way for giants like Coca Cola and Mercedes-Benz.

| Actually i hope Leigh win. It would highly amusing to see the self-loathing northerners on here have a meltdown.

Your last comment is a beauty:
"Most folk on this thread are showing a selfish view because they might not have their annual Jolly with a game thrown in."
Whereas your own view which is clearly biased in favour of your own club, is balanced and well thought out and could only be for the good of the game as a whole
Sorry, but, Catalan offer more to the game than Leigh, unless you want to shrink the game into the M62 corridor and probably revert to RL in the UK, sorry, Yorkshire and Lancashire, becoming a semi professional sport.
A French club (Paris) were brought in help sell the TV rights to Sky.
Based on this logic, Sky would be within their rights to cut funding for the "inferior" product that we would have (should Catalan go down).
As I said previously, all of the advantage is with Leigh.
Home advantage, favourites with the bookies and you only have to get past a team coached by McNamara.
Sounds like a foregone conclusion.

You've mentioned a few times now about fans wanting Catalans to win so they still get there weekend away.
I ask again. What is the problem with that?
Not wanting to it to appear like im picking on your club, but I have to say i'm quite surprised by how low your attendances have been this season. Are all four stands open now?

In that case everyone should be notified that Catalan can't be allowed to be relegated in case we lose our funding from SLY...WHAT A PILE OF CACK!!!
Well iv'e already said that the structure will change for the 2019 season with more SL teams likely to be in it,so would one season make a difference if they went down to re establish themselves? Our owner has made it perfectly clear with the staff/players and fans if we go down,what our intentions,aspirations,goals, and player's welfare is to reassure that we can bounce back. Catalans will just have to do the same. One thing for sure is, i will support and buy a season ticket whichever division we're in.

I thought Leigh fans claimed they had been building for years in the Championship. But now you're claiming that you've only had one season to build. You'd have a better chance at building if you ran an academy and didn't try and sign every player under the sun.
You Leigh fans seem to have some complex with foreign teams. You seem to really dislike Catalans and Toronto, wouldn't surprise me if you all had something on Toulouse too.
I'm still waiting for those players that your fans claimed would be internationals this season to step up, you know like Higson and Acton.
Catalans do offer more to Super League than yourselves, I'd say the majority of people have said that, but you choose to ignore it because "it's a jolly in the sun."

You haven't had to build from the championship,so how would you know if it's easy or difficult to attain SL from that position? And the majority on here support a club who's had the luxury of franchise to build,have an academy,and be a better club, Leigh have had one season in SL,it's not enough.
