| Hate it that a club as steeped in history as Leigh are to be relegated, but unfortunately the rules are rules. I am sure the club will bounce back and we all have to accept that this time round Leigh were not good enough.

I also seem to remember our late ex chairman claiming that tricky Dicky Lewis threatened to resign when SL clubs challenged him over Harlequins been deducted points for going into administration - Lewis later denied this.

I was told exactly the same thing by our ex-Chairman at the time. That would explain why Widnes abstained. It left our Chairman between a rock and a hard place but he had to vote in Leigh's best interest.

You're right, and if there wasn't a bonus point system then there would be no complaints from me.
But there is a Bonus Point system and it's played by ALL the teams in the division. The 'exempt from relegation system' however, is only played by one team in this division.

Agree with you Paul, the points system is irrelevant everyone's sining from the same hymn sheet, it's the fact that if a team isn't good enough then they shouldn't play in the league not be told they can't get relegated

| Quote Leeeigh Leeeigh="Leeeigh Leeeigh"Good.
Also get rid of the quota rules. Get rid of the cap, and swap for system where a club can afford it then so be it system.
That will be the so called level playing field.'"
Somewhat bizarrely, the quota rules are, of course, different in Championship 1. Whereas teams in the Championship are only allowed one quota player - to protect them from over-spending - the super-affluent teams in Championship One, are allowed two quota players. So, there you are, we're going to be allowed double rations on quota players - if we can get any visas, that is!

Do you not think though that the level playing field that some of us want could be achieved and actually take some flack away from RFL by firstly having no quota at all at this level. Its getting to be near impossible to get the Aussies in anyway.
Also the salary cap is not working as it should when clubs like ourselves can have higher level than rest in the same league - so get shut of that too - apart from being able to prove you can afford.
The only other issue is teams having the 3 years without relegation and others not. So start to have some kind of franchise system for our comp.
All abiding by the same rules. Sorted

Agree TOTALLY.
But when you was celebrating our loss with your chums from Gateshead(BTW you got back very quick from the game today  ) you may have failed to notice that we didn't finnish in the bottom 2, we finnished in the bottom 3.

Steady on there! Stronger than ever? This lot used to be the bane of the whole second tier not that long ago! Paul Terzis era they were bloody tough. I don't want them coming back stronger than that! Just stronger than this time!

I so agree with you. I've been campaigning for years, in the programme and on here, for EQUALITY, for all teams. I too, think it will be a farce, if we are allowed to spend more on the Cap, than others - if the RFL sanctions it! Why bother having a cap, and then saying, 'Well, teams A, B and CC (sorry, slip of the finger, there!  )' can over-spend on it
