To be fair Leigh only got the nod in mid December. In a normal promotion year they'd have known in September ish giving them two or three extra months to recruit. Still a big ask but the process this year was especially harsh for their squad building.

Degsey thought he could spend money on a squad, with a couple of NRL players included, and just simply not finish bottom.....It just doesn't work like that.

Look at the bits in bold, both in the past tense I honestly cannot see if there are full seasons played in all three divisions how promotion and relegation can be ignored, if Leigh was in the Championship and gained the promotion spot these pages and every other platform would be awash with protests if promotion was denied as it would be for any other team and quite rightly so.
In fact, those clubs in the Championship that have speculated on their team recruitment to challenge for the title and spent a lot of money in the process could be said to have lost out more than Leigh will have done if we get relegated after all the squad we have put together for this year has been financed by the funding we have been awarded.

Exactly Harry. The £450k boasting to Wilkin was a distraction to what you have stated. Things don’t still add up I’m afraid.

I'm not sure what your argument is here? I’m saying the system isn’t changing, which also includes p&r. Without a doubt that should continue and it will. And for next season at least it will be staying a 12 team league.

Massive effort today.
The lads have not given this up even though we couldn’t even put together a fully fit 17, and we had a very light weight pack and no forwards on the bench.
As long as we are only one win off Salford it is still possible.

Apparently Mason, Flower and Peteru are back next week, which will be massive for us. I hope we carry on in the same vein in terms of throwing the ball around next week when the opportunity is there and hopefully Catalans have an off day next week and you never know!

keep reynolds away from team

Thought your play today was spot on chucking it about certainly played to your strengths it would have been pointless going up the middle with your lack of forwards in the team. You played Wakey off their game plan forced a lot of mistakes. Today we were just too good in the end. Good luck going forwards

That was a decent effort from your guys, could have gone either way. Sau was ridiculous every time he had the ball in hand.
You still have time, hang on in there.

Massive.

It’s forwards that are required not halves..Reynolds can play behind a pack. A pack we don’t have at present. Gutsy performance from the lads today given that scenario, wouldn’t you agree?

Totally agree mate. Thanks

thats why i said keep reynolds away fro the team. yes the forwards will be a welcome return but reynolds makes to many wrong decisions. sau was rubbish and cost us today.
