1030.gif [quote="littlerich":1czuya0c]Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.[/quote:1czuya0c]:1030.gif |

| Me too. I've prepared myself for relegation for weeks now, and to be honest I'm amazed we got as far as we did. I thought we'd be gone weeks ago.
However, the fact that we've been relegated, having finished above a side that won't be relegated, makes me ed off!

| Something to think about from another thread. Toulouse couldn't be relegated, different quota rules for Gateshead and Toulouse. Surely this is no longer a sport, and does not make this fair in the least. This is not because we finished down their, we have finished level on points with two teams and more points than two other teams. Challenge it I say

| Feel sorry for you guys, just as I did when Castleford when they were relegated in 2006 when they finished above Catalans. Its shambles the way our sport is run.
Hope Robbie Paul doesnt have a clause in his contract saying he doesnt have to go to Leigh if relegated. He should respect it.

We knew before the season started that Toulose couldnt get relagated and Gateshead would have special dispensation on the quota. Therefore, when we assembled the squad before the start of the season, we should have ensured that it was strong enough to over come the advantages that these two teams were given. The fact is we didn't! No excuses, the squad we put together wasn't good enough.

I would imagine the club did think they had done that and probably never imagined that the situation that has now occurred would ever happen to them. How many other clubs vote along the same lines?

| There is 9 other clubs in the championship
Also to make the purists happy that don't like the bonus point - had this rule not been in we would have finished below Toulouse, so should make you feel a little better.

Good.
Reason I asked was because when Awen Guttenbeil signed for Castleford, he had a clause if they got relegated, but he chose not use it and still came over, despite Cas not been in SL.

....and had Gateshead not been allowed to play to different rules and had the RFL not ignored Donnys plight which allowed Batley to pick up at least two of their better players, then results might have been very different.
PS I still think you are related to Richard(head) Lewis

I am now convinced you are Alan Rowley.
I don't really have enthusiasm to go through the pro's and cons, because its been done too many times and not the day for it tbh
We can't keep making excuses tho.....I just hope the club aren't going to start looking outwards about things not being fare instead of looking inwards of our continuing problems since 2005
Also just to confirm I do critize the powers that be many times, and I am also pro P&R. you seemingly make excuses for us, and go on the its not fare argument against RFL seemingly all the time. Sometimes, maybe once in a while its our fault.
