Leigh hammered Cats away.But today's performance was similar to the Widnes game in that as a neutral I was left scratching my head how a team can be so good one week then look clueless week after? The foundations at Leigh are strong and they will be back, that's my last comment on here til next term . Good luck lads'"
Well said craig. I have the most utter most respect for your post. Good man.

| Respect to Leigh, enjoyed see in you at Broncos last week. The MPG is blx. I have always said the optimum league structure for rugby league, a game that needs to harness its roots but at the same time recognise it needs to grow to survive, has now to expand the elite level, maintain the dream for clubs outside the top level, facilitate the best crowds (derbies), revenue, attractiveness to sponsorship. The only way is by 2 largely ‘geographic’ conferences of 8 teams. Teams play their own conference home and away, the other conference home or away, one of which is Magic. Conferences play offs and a GF. Bottom of each conf play off to play top of Championship for promo/releg. 21 games, play offs, leaves for restructured Challenge Cup (final in May) and Conference ‘State’ of Origin. The first conferences formed at the end of next season, 12 SL teams plus top 4 in Championship (invited). No salary cap, no overseas limit. Minimum criteria to be reviewed. The conferences could look like 1) Leigh Wigan Warrington St Helens Widnes Salford Toulouse Catalans 2) Leeds Hull Hull KR Castleford Wakefield Huddersfield Toronto London (or Fax or Fev or Barrow, .......) - what’s not to like and we do away with this stupid MPG.

| Quote: BrianBradyHandOff "I don't get it....The majority of fans are of the opinion that Catalans MUST survive in Superleague for the benefit of the expansionism in the game. I don't agree. It's reported they brought a massive 50 supporters with them today which considering it was probably the biggest game they have played in their short history it was very poor indeed. I'm a Warrington fan and would much prefer to see 4,000 Laythers in the west stand at the HJ than a few bedraggled French people....If you asked the same question to club chairmen they would agree I'm sure....They daren't say so for fear of being called Luddites.'"
Well, I didn't actually see any Sheffield fans at Toulouse this afternoon so what do they actually bring to the game ?
Or is that different ?

| Im gutted for you lot. I think the bottom team should go, this year it was us, we weren't good enough, end of. We have got out of jail big time. I hope Leigh come straight back, the frogs offer zero to SL. Fair play to DB comments, but as a Widnes fan tonight, I have genuine sympathy with Leigh fans tonight. Im positive we will cross paths in next years middle 8's, but I genuinely hope you paste the Toronto wannabes. I think you will keep hold of most of your players and be stronger for going down.

To be fair,On that showing today,we have got we deserved. We have a full season now to put right what we have failed on. But lessons must be leaned that's for sure. Will we learn them? I hope so.

| Sympathies-
But to those who are saying it's one game... it's not. Teams are given a whole season to show they have what it takes.
Leigh's s fell out in the final game.... but they were in that game because they weren't a top 8 side for 23 rounds- and weren't a top 3 side of the rest.
I do think however that teams coming up should be given a years "grace" to enable them to sort contracts etc.
Leigh will still be a better side than the rest in the championship. So I expect them to be challenging next season.
Good luck guys.
