| Glad the middle 8s are actually doing what they're meant to now, hope Leigh can poach a few glory supporters from Wigan, and not go straight down again.

But it wasn't a decision though Jean, promoting Widnes was a decision, putting Catalans in S.L. was a decision, Leigh have achieved promotion fair & square.

I await with bated breath for you to tell me whose decision it was to promote Leigh and relegate Bradford and London, in a system that employs promotion and relegation. This should be good.

| OK, perhaps "decision" with regard to the promotion of Leigh was a poor choice of words.
I should have written that I think that the decision to have P & R instead of licensing is one of the worst decisions ever made by the RFL. The promotion of Leigh, was, apart from the demotion of Bradford and London, the worst outcome in the history of Super League.
The sooner we get licensing back the better. We need London and Bradford, Toulouse and Toronto, and eventually Montreal and Avignon, playing in Super League. Only then will rugby league be taken seriously as an international sport.

Is it your aim to try and talk as much bolllocks as possible ? If so you've nailed it Jean

Bang average?
Bosc is still very good, and Julien Bousquet and Remi Casty are two of the best props in Super League. Anthony Gigot and Vincent Duport are also top quality, and Mickael Simon adds some starch to the Wakefield Trinity pack. Meanwhile young teenager half Lucas Albert is, along with Fouad Yaha, a star in the making.

| Congratulations to Leigh. Good to see the system doing what it was designed to do. If we still had straight promotion and relegation a considerably weaker Leigh team would be just starting to think about how many players they could pinch off the relegated team. Leigh would be weaker because they would probably have been created to only beat other Championship opposition. Under this system they go up knowing that they can already compete at least with the lower levels and that they are in a position to strengthen.
P.S I would like us to be in a position to have a strong enough professional game to have P+R, but until that happens..........

After watching how you win a game I can see why. Like watching paint dry while a man blows a whistle a lot.

| Quote: FlexWheeler "What has gone wrong at Huddersfield? I guess with the predicament of last years treble winners Leeds, Huddersfield's fall from grace this season has gone largely under the radar.
Last season, they had a chance of winning the LLS in the last game of the season. Mathematically it was a real possibility. This season now they have finished bottom and have lost against the only 2 decent teams they have played in the Middle 8's. They brought in a new coach and it's made no difference.
I know salford are in some sh*t, but the ability of their team is top 8, they just had a points deduction. Hull kr will rally with peacock taking the field.
Huddersfield could well be the ones who finish up getting relegated.'"
There is a malaise at the club, through the players and management and i believe it all stems from the "events" of pre season!
However they are professional sportsmen and as such should overcome these things and be professional and do the job they are paid fairly well to do.
