I don't believe that for one minute. Who are the investors?



The contingency plan was to have replica shields at all three venues. These shields exist and are used for publicity events, so why wouldn't they use them here?

Sky even sent cameras and crews to every stadium to cover the action. Why is this the only week they have done it? To ensure they can film the presentation of the LL Shield to whoever won it, that's why.

Sky have literally no control over who wins games. It's not scripted like the WWE. What would have happened if Leigh genuinely beat the Wigan defense and scored more tries? What if Wigan failed to score a point? You are talking absolute rubbish.

If Sky really were in control of the outcome of the games, wouldn't they want Leeds to progress to the playoffs? Afterall it is proven that Leeds games draw the biggest TV audience, and that would suit the Sky advertisers better.

There are way too many holes in your conspiracy theory for it to make a modicum of sense.

Again that points to a lack of imagination, possibly one of self-reflection.

"Bye" was said politely (if less than heartily) but now there will be, yet another, pressing of the "Ignore" button for your collection.

Why use a public forum if you don't like discussion?

Maybe I am a RFL mole sent to infiltrate Beaumonts lemmings and lead them astray from their cult leader. Or maybe I just see the world for what it is.

Brilliant post, and if a grown man who has children and runs successful businesses can’t see that then he’s got issues.

He’s absolutely deluded.

Why on earth would SKY want that Leeds rabble to progress. That's the worst Leeds team I've seen in decades. It's a good job IMG have saved you from relegation cos that's what you would have been facing next season

Rigged by who?

For what purpose?

Why not let Field score his try then as many arguments can be made that his was also a try and not obstruction...

He has already said, they bring more views...

I gave the reason why. But incase you missed that part, it is because televised Leeds games are proven to attract larger TV audience than every other club. If Sky really controlled the league, they wouldn't have clubs with tiny fanbases in the playoffs - Leigh wouldn't be there at all. The fact that they are proves it isn't scripted by Sky.



It is the worse Leeds team in decades, I can't deny that. I don't think we need IMG to save us though. We are making some good signings for next season already, and we have the money, the structure, and the fanbase to survive relegation. In fact, a championship tour might be a nice break from the 27 years of Super League, but it won't happen. Our squad will be much stronger next year.

To think one wrong decision by the ref was responsible for Leigh finishing fifth is bordering on paranoia. The league position is determined over 27 matches and questionable decisions occurred in every one of them. All teams have suffered and can point to possible points lost. As it was only points difference between fourth and fifth it is clear that it was the poor performances after the cup final by the Leigh players as individuals and as a team that was responsible for the downfall. A clear example is that KR in the last game put more than 50 against Wakey away from home. In contrast a very poor Leigh performance only managed to scape past the same team by a drop goal on their own patch. If the Leigh players had stood up to be counted when the chips were down their last match would not have mattered win or lose. Despite what Beaumont said in his most un-chaiman like rant it was the Leigh players and coach that have to take full responsibility. Not a referee used as a scapegoat.

If I've made myself look silly, I'm way behind you on that score.

Apparently the LLS was in a Car Park in Worsley

Are you the resident RLfans Forum troll? coz no one goes on the Kr forum. I see you like to be a nuisance on the Hull fc forum too. Sad .......
