RFL and Gateshead in meeting all day today apparently. I would imagine that RFL will mostly do what Gateshead want. RFL will need to deduct some points.
I doubt Thunder will want to start in Champ next season 19/10 points down with a whole season to go with a poor team and a probable relegation at the end of it. Not great for marketing.
I'm sure they would prefer starting the year in Champ 1 with no points deduction and a poor side which could compete better.
If that is the case then the points would have to be deducted from the current/just gone season so Leigh would not finish in a relegation spot and should stay up.
But ultimately the RFL and Gateshead will find a solution which suits them both best. Leigh may benefit. I hope so but will not be holding my breath.
Seems to me thats just a bluff about 9 or 10 league games.
The RFL must be aware of their intended squad for next season not to mention the 9 point deduction. Should the RFL approve admittance it can only be to Champ 1.
