I appreciate that you want to be in Super League. But wanting isn't enough.

We all want to be millionaires - but no one's going to give that to us, it has to be earned.

At present, Leigh are a small club, whose proximity to Wigan and St Helens isn't helping them.

What I would say, though, is don't worry too much ... there are still people in the game who think the tail should wag the dog, so I'll believe this new SL era when I actually see it.

[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.[/quote:1sacjrvf] [quote="The_Enforcer":1sacjrvf]Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.[/quote:1sacjrvf]:



Quote: Cruncher "I'm starting to think that the reality of this Wigan and Leigh thing is that there isn't room for both in SL.

With the likes of Toronto coming on board and a possible new team in the South of France, we're starting to glimpse a potential wider-spread future. On top of that, the new-look SL will surely try to focus on quality rather than fudge things the way the RFL did with the franchise system - to create viable clubs with good cash-flow, good player development and potential big support. Leigh, as we know them, don't really tick any of those boxes.

From a Wigan perpective, we've already got our derby game in Saints. Can't see what Leigh would add to the party, other than be a useful lower league club.'"

We need all the viable potential SL clubs we can get. What happens in a few years when Salford/Huddersfield/Wakefield go bump, and Leigh aren't strong enough to replace them? We could potentially end up having to let a part time club into SL. Slippery slope from there.....

I'm not sure that the Leigh I've known all my life would be any less likely to go bump.

What we need is another Catalan Dragons.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg
