True that it's good to have one less team in the race for SL (better stadium than ourselves and Widnes so definately rivals) But I think you'll find most heartland club fans will be sad to see Leigh go down, a traditional club that, like Fax, get no favours from the RFL. If Fax cant get to SL, would I prefer Tolouse or Leigh to get a spot... No doubt about it...

YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST BUT NOT RELIVE IT.YOU CAN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BUT CAN NEVER BE SURE THERE WILL BE ONE.:

What a load of tosh, Fax and other clubs would most certainly not want to see you go down as you bring atmosphere and fans.
I really cannot understand why you think the publicity surrounding Robbie was a cock up as the rest of the league would be quaking they may go down .Come on Paul was turned down by Fax weeks ago likewise other clubs he aproached turned him down.
I hardly think he will make a vast differance to you next year. Talk of him takeing an ambassador role as well ? surely what you need to spend money on is darn good players. Millward himself and Murphy are good enough ambassadors for any club you don`t need to pay anyone else just to massage his own ego.
Nothings over till the fat lady sings Leigh won`t go down at least I hope not.

LIVING THE DREAM ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPER LEAGUE PLAY-OFFS! ''All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them'':Black Backgrounds/Miss%20Piggy.gif



If anyone thinks that 10 other Chairman and Execs are getting their squads of 20+ players to throw results so we go down need help I'm affraid.

As someone says above if we go down its because we have been and deserve too. CERTAINLY NOT because teams want us out of this league!!

I don't buy into this mad conspiracy theory for an instant. Perhaps the other teams in our position just want it more than we do and have stepped up their game accordingly. Perhaps they're willing to fight harder for what they want!

Just to point out I still think we will beat Toulouse and Whitehaven and if we still go down after that, Gateshead will have to beat Barrow away and Batley will have to have won 2 of their games, an unlikely scenario in my opinion!

Not many people appear to have answered the question directly so I will.

Yes, I think we are still staying up.

Why, beacause we will get more points out of our remailning games than one of the two other teams in the mix.

Sorry Keith i completely disagree with you. In the present financial climate Leigh are a must for these clubs whether we challenge them or not an the RFL know this, they know that the likelyhood of us having a good side next season will happen therefore our travelling support will increse and they need the money, also as has been said before how can 2 teams out of ann11 team comp go down? doesn't make sense also only one Lancashire team in the championship doesn't look good does it? Hopefully they will see sense and increse the league to 12 or just relegate the already finacially stricken dons icon_razz.gifRAY:

The key could be being made to play Fax the Wed before the Haven game, we should refuse. Play it when it suits us I say.

it could be the key as i can see Fax playing a weeker team as they will probably have secured there play off position and as i have said will be happy for us to stay up rather than the other two imo.

Good ideas but unlikely because firstly it would be unfair on the playoff winners in Championship 1 and secondly the other idea leaves only 9 teams in that league for next season.

A more sensible suggestion might be to amalgamate both leagues play 32 league games a season, have the NRC as a straight knockout and a top 8 playoff.

Course if we do survive leave things as they are. icon_smile.gif

The points For column surely is depressing. Looking at the table we still have advantage over Gateshead (game in hand too) if we can win the Toulouse game. If Sheff can do us a favour today then it really does set the Toulouse game as a big game, and possibly most important since 2004 IMO.
Will Batley lose at home though ? icon_sad.gif

Anyway if we deserve to stay up, its still in our own hands.

Exactly, and although yesterday's result was a surprise, it doesn't alter anything for us. We still have to win our own games - it's still in our hands.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg
