It is going to be difficult but hopefully with a few more additions doable, the play off system has proved championship teams can beat SL teams in one offs, and last time we proved we can raise our game and beat the top teams, what we didn’t manage is to beat those teams around us, which will be key to us having any chance of staying up. #beleighve

Atomic - Yes 3 places. Stated as Winger, Utility Back and 2nd Rower

https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/v2/blog/2020/1 ... art-eight/ Sorry my bad - Winger, Outside Back, and Back Row Forward. Any chance it is Krisnan Inu, Bryson Goodwin and AN Other?

Isn’t AN Other a bit owd now? I remember him playing for us in the 70’s

That’s up to Duffs and Derek! Now obviously the goal has changed.

Not sure what a outside back nor back row forward is in RL.?

This is League not Yawnion.

That was only when we had N.O.Else.

Lets hope we dont get down to that when our bandages bill exceeds our wages bill with our experienced squad

I know someone had to fill the 12th spot, but gifting us a place in SL just destroys the competition , we have a good application yes I agree, probably the best , but this freezes out the other clubs and destroys incentive . We have all bitched and moaned about this kind of cronyism in the past so I am just being consistent. It's like we have been allowed into the old boys club to keep them happy for a while . We are slowly destroying the sport and the fan bases are contracting . IMO they should have done an on field play off between the applicants just to give it some credibility seeing as the season is b0llocked anyway . take this sort of stuff to its extremes with all this BS talk of equality and maybe they should just award of the SL title because we haven't won it before .

A little bit flawed as an idea to have an on field play off. There has been no training, no games, no Covid testing protocols a la Super League & nobody to pay for it's implementation !

He has two posts in two years. Don’t bother amusing him.

You got there first, Ste. Will just point out in addition that Toronto's expulsion was announced on November 2nd, ie the day after an awful lot of contracts expired. The proposed play-offs might have seen a good few clubs unable to muster a matchday seventeen - of whatever fitness. Also, by the time all the preparations were made and all the C-19 boxes ticked, the 2021 might have been almost upon us with all the teams involved having been unable to plan or budget for the actual flight in which they would find themselves after said process.

Sorry, Doc, whilst your desire to shy away from inconsistency that you fear would be interpreted as hypocrisy is laudable, the fact is that a Super League team folded at a time when the whole sport (not to mention the rest of society) was facing the most exceptional set of circumstances since WW2. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Why TWP were not kicked out following the previous meeting a month prior to November 2nd, at which point some (but just SOME) of the issues above could have been avoided, is now moot. Prevarication on the part of TWP's owner or of the eleven other SL chairmen, or was it the bl00dy lawyers as usual?

A premeditated and altogether more sinister plot should be left to the conspiracy theorists.

I see that we have just signed the lad, Keanan Brand from Warrington (on loan). Must confess that i had never heard of him. Not exactly the type of earth shattering announcement i was hoping for.
In contrast, I see that Geronimo has this week signed for Swinton, Now that's what i call a big name signing.
