Maybe but, franchise is coming,so you can enjoy your time outside of the elite for quite some time.
BTW - I believe you don't have any trophies next to your wooden spoons.  |

If franchising is coming, it will surely bypass Leigh. You add no credibility to the competition unlike say Toulouse or a properly funded & run London. There is no future for RL just in the north as most clubs will be broke before the "Powerhouse" effect gets going, if it ever does. Admire your optimism though.

Admire your spirit Cokey. Top trolling. However, you’ve gone down a blind alley here. The idea behind franchising is it unfairly discriminates against areas of rich rugby league history but little national ‘reach’, like Leigh, in favour of places like London. So in that scenario it would be London that had a good payday not Leigh. In fact it may be one of the only ways we can get back into SL unless we get our act together. Anyway I bear no grudge if you can’t have a pop when you’re on the up when can you. I think you’ll do OK next year:your recruitment approach seems sensible. Mind you it’s not easy to stay up as Wakefield have enough about them to just get over the line but we’ll see.

I believe with this type of comment, and reference to bypassing, one is contractually obliged to say ....”just like the trains.”

Quite right too.
We certainly don't want all the riff raff from darn sarf causing havoc around here.

Leigh will be competing well WITH Saints & Wigan next season, whilst London will be finished.  |

To be fair, Leigh have a very good record against us even when we were a much better team than now.

Guys we have enough issues without getting into a spat with Leigh. Our only focus will be in whether we have a team next year who will be mid table or in the relegation spots.
RL as a sport is in massive decline, and will continue while its stuck in the M62 corridor, Sky will find better area's to spend there money on, and between cricket, football and F1, all your going to see on SKY in the coming years is US sport which is cheap for Sky to show.
Lets stop this thread, let Leigh enjoy their promotion season, I really don't care how they get on in SL, as I give SL less than 5 years to survive as it is now, unless they break out of a small section of the country (and no I am not saying London should be given a franchise, I would not give DH control of my neices under 8 girls netball team)

We have 2 wooden spoons and one MPG trophy thanks....if you're going to troll, back it up with accuracy.
As for licencing. If IMG decide to head down that route, don't be stunned if London are somehow a requirement.....your benefactor made a big point of Leigh bringing 1,000 away fans to games.....the reality is that's about £40,000 in REVENUE per host team......PER SEASON.....I hope IMG aren't into such simplistic maths and things like geographical reach and railway stations matter

Just read it Crash - a fair assessment. Grim reading but it is what it is. In fairness consensus fell in with you. Which is a bit sad but for reasons gone into ad nauseum it’s not been great this year. It might be that the daddy had got himself into a positive mood at lunchtime and forgot that the move can’t really be described as a success on any metric. It happens. Monday is, I understand, the new Friday.

If the IMG do their maths, they'll be wondering why it cost more for the bus than the actual fans on it.
