Have to disagree Reffy because I have always thought that.

Maybe that is why it was introduced into the kick and clap game.

I thought franchising for RL was wrong and have posted why on several Posts in the past.

Tha reet theer owd lad. I agree wi thee Frank.

So you two faithful Leigh fans of sound mind believe that there was/is a conspiracy to keep Leigh out of Super League at all costs? Could it be because they have a ground that some SL clubs would love to play in and on top of that play a refreshing brand of Rugby League?

We knew at the start so we need to just get on with it.Too late too complain now. We should have 'complained' at the start of the season but don't remember us (the club and fans) doing so.

Not often I can say this but I'm with Reffy

I am not talking about conspiracy theories. I am talking about whoever finishes top of the Championship should replace the team who finished bottom of Superleague.

Murphy IS talking about conspiracy theories, we all think that the top of the Championship should replace the bottom team in Super league. We all knew that this wasn't available this season so it is a bit pathetic to suggest that Leigh has been stitched by an hidden agenda.

Yes, we were all aware of the set up at the beginning of the season, and also content that a pathway to SL had been created,that's why no one probably complained at the time,which is fair enough. Now that the way it's transpired and unfolded,some folk now see a different view of the end result, and don't like how it works,and that to me is also fair enough.It's been a suck it and see scenario,and it for me it needs tweaking a little.

Most fans will have said "it's better than NO promotion/relegation" but it is lopsided, wonder how long the RFL will stick with it ? (if championship clubs continue to struggle)

Good point. I hope they do stick with it, and like i said, tweak it a little.

It's quite simple, if we'd of beaten kr, wakey and fax like we should of, nobody would be moaning about the structure of the middle 8. Just get on with it.

In his statement he does say the other championship teams also are suffering.

But we didn't beat them did we. And as the league table looks now suggest that the four SL clubs have the edge. Now i don't see it as moaning when championship clubs are at a disadvantage. So if we like you say just get on with it and the 4 SL clubs go back up, and the same happens again next season and the rfl say,this is not working and close the door, Then what? I say speak up now and let the rfl know that a little tweaking needs to be done to make it a bit more of a level playing field.

Maybe, but it's not just Leigh who are 'finding it hard'. Bradford may have 4 points and beaten Salford, but they have been thrashed/stuffed 3 times.

You are missing the point of the thread, irrespective of whether the system works/worked or not are you surprised that we get abuse from supporters of other teams when 'our spokesman' Murphy accuses the RFL of having an hidden agenda against Leigh?
