Your cranium is but a vacant vessel Mr 99 !

If indeed you are a Leeds fan & not just some armchair RL supporter then you will remember how well Leigh were supported both at home & away from home &.you will try to erase the fact that Leigh ran Leeds to within one bad pass decision at the LSV. You might also ignore the fact that Leigh beat Wigan *scoring 50* & also beat Saints, Warrington & Hull F.C, those being regular top 5 SL Clubs !!! You might also try to rewrite history & claim "a sea of empty red seats" , how very Trump-esque of you. In fact as befits your agenda, you are hiding the real facts that Leigh averaged more than 6,500 at home & had 9,000 + against Saints, or that Leigh were easily the 8th best supported club in Super League & maybe one of the top 5 best supported away clubs.

Keep shouting it loudly & often enough & little Leigh might go away, or you could build a wall !!!

You haven't given any facts, so go away and stop being a pesky child.

It’s better to have a team from the heartlands in who spend full cap and have fantastic facilities, than a few in Yorkshire who really shouldn’t be in SL on facilities previously promised and a Lancashire club in financial mess that may not survive or must slash its spend

Standing 3 scruffy sods on the RFL steps with Dels life story has prompted York to knock up another cheesy bid video. What’s the point of all this nonsense?

Finding a 12th club will make the sport more enemies than friends.
Setting club against club and pitting fans against fans, a spectacular own goal by the sport

There has been and will continue to be lots of bitterness flying around about this process. I THINK there are three clubs in genuine contention for the slot and they are Leigh, Bradford and Toulouse. Nothing against the others in any way but I suspect they are the three likely candidates. Clearly Bradford would attract the greatest angst, whereas personally speaking either Toulouse or Leigh would leave me a bit "meh". You have to hope that after they are chosen we the fans get to see the workings out and who scored what. Not that I'm holding my breath.

It would be of more interest to see the full criteria and the weighting given to the different aspects of said criteria and of course, who set the rules and whether, despite the "independent panel", those people had any vested interest.
For starters, getting a tenant at Odsal would save the RFL some rent.
I suggested many pages back that the criteria and not the independent panel of "judges" would be the deciding factor and this looks to be how we are "progressing".

Indeed, open and honest appraisal against a set of published measures is the only way this isn't going to look like a fudge.

Listen come on let’s be honest and seriously look at the facts and what’s happening here, and please please please this only my opinion FACT Leigh have assembled a team to play in superleague they have also got a fantastic stadium and a decent support base so putting them in wouldnt and shouldn’t be a issue, FACT bradford have got a team capable of winning hopefully more games than they will lose in the championship, they are currently using dewsburys facilities at there wonderful home,, yes no doubt about it they have a fan base most current superleague clubs are very envious of, but bradford are far far far away from being the force they once was, and on those facts I believe LEIGH are ready made to return to superleague

You are of course basing that on the assumption that SL wants a 12th team remotely close to being competitive. The 12th team means it gets its full money quota from sky, that’s probably all there after

I don’t know mr Beaumont but looking at what he has and is putting into Leigh I’m sure he is not after the money, no way

Fact: that team isn’t anywhere near SL standard

Nice stadium and a decent following I will give you that.

Unfortunately that’s not the only aspects of the bid process.

Owner with a questionable past, unknown financial backing, no academy, poor track record at top level...

The owner must have passed some test to be where he is now, and I’m sure Leigh in my own opinion would give all superleague teams food for thought, you don’t need to have expensive world class players in your team to be successful,, just take a look at Warrington

Ok, so you continue with your anti Leigh agenda. First of all, our owner has regained his credibility over the last 3 years if you care to look into it.

Secondly, Could you please explain who should justifiably be the 12th team and why?

And thirdly, When will your JEALOUSY OF LEIGH STOP?

You're just embarrassing yourself, you know that don't you? You're not being a WUM or a troll, you just keep making yourself look stupid.............Give up old bean.

I think your embarrassing yourself mate, I’m all for Leigh going up you idiot

I'm not replying to you, and don't call me an idiot.

Sorry cokey,,, I realised after mate

No probs mate.

Let’s just turn this around for a moment

You tell me what Leigh’s strengths and weaknesses are in relation to the bid process. Just in case I’ve missed something.

I’m anything but jealous nor do I have an anti Leigh agenda, I just don’t get the hype.

Leigh have a reasonable history but since the 80’s am I missing something.

Bizarre that anyone who questions Leigh's suitability for SL is thought to be jealous. Really? Of Leigh??

Given how virulently anti-Toronto many Leigh fans were it's frankly hard to suppress a laugh at them getting upset when anyone questions the merits of their team.

Funny you should say that,

Neither is HKR
Neither is Wakefield
2021 probably Salford too

Way, it's gonna be fun. These three sides will be praying it ain't leigh.

Tou louse short due to away format

Bradford ? I love John Kear as a coach but really ? Could be 0-23 if Bradford go up. Is that good for the game ?

No, there's nothing to turn around, because you have no facts to back up your anti Leigh agenda ,so it's obvious you haven't read any of the post on here, or even bothered to look/research anything about Leigh. Now,just tell me (clearly with evidence) why Leigh shouldn't be the 12th team? If you you think the squad isn't strong enough,please explain why, bearing in mind there would be further additions to the 23 already signed up. Is there anything else eating away at ya?

There is no hype coming from the Leythers,we are just defending your hatred of us.,so just stfu.

I can't believe you've come back with this nonsense, and i'm not even on the Ouija board.
