Is relegation/promotion normal this coming year? If so, Leigh get a chance and the others get to prove why they should be up. Hard to swallow for fans of those clubs obviously but in 12 months time and with lots of celebration along the way, they could be here.

Glad it isn't Toulouse, wouldn't want their future impacted by this virus, would rather them come up when there isn't travel restrictions to give them the best chance to thrive

Yes, there will be promotion and relegation to and from Super League at the end of 2021 season.

Hats off to Lord Johnathon Caine, Baron Caine of Temple Newsam, Leeds, and his panel for making a sensible, stable, competitive choice with Leigh Centurians.

Gives us an excellent opportunity to get Chris Hill off our books before we give him another 5 year contract

Give you your best crowd of the season if fans allowed back.

Judging by the video they’ve put on twitter, they really want this. Good for them - coming in and fighting, maybe surviving will be good for the championship.

There’s a surprise...Wigan and Elstone put the expansion process to death and try to protect their self interest.

Anyone else have the sense of inevitability that the Leigh will get into financial difficulties as they seem to on a cycle of every few years under this ownership?

If there was any doubt of that,they wouldn't have been chosen.

I quite fancied Toulouse but on balance and overall I'm quite happy with the choice of Leigh as they are the safest 'bet' particularly in these uncertain times. I think that they have made the best preparation as far as squad assembly is concerned, decent fans, decent ground, easy trip both ways for Lancashire teams.

I'd have them down as more deserving than Bradford not sure about a comparative to Featherstone

If only we could run with 14 viable clubs.......

What's the point of that? players were paid, and FYI, all players at Leigh so far on on a 1 year contract. Surely you're not worried about coming to the LSV and get wupped again?
Anyway thanks for the congrats - NOT.

Wish it was a 14 club league saves playing Wigan a boring 10 games a season..anyhow glad its Leigh just hope we have crowds back next season..

I think it's a sensible choice really. Toulouse and Featherstone would have been decent shouts but leigh have the best chance of being competitive and more importantly of completing the season.

Good luck to them, I hope we get the green lights for crowds as well.

Agreed, I miss my post match pint in the 2 pigeons and chat with your fans.

There are 3 pigeons, it's 1 better than you remember.
