maybe sour grapes but how can we go down fiinishing joint 7th wiyh 32 points and whywere toulouse allowed in r division without havin to play in the lower division 1st they did not have to wi promotion i know we knew the rule at the start of the season but the rfl is joke and the laughing stock of every other sport

I think you'll find we are the laughing stock.....

Because the sport is a joke run by clowns!!

yes yes we all knew before the leage started but in what other sport wouldbe put straight in a league without having to gain the right to play in it and also be told oh don't worry if your not competitive your not going to be relegated because your not from a heartland area!!

It is a French heartland team with many decades of history , we are paying the price of the RFL trying to strengthen the French national team



How can the frogs improve with a team of Ausies , its a farce

Never liked foreign teams in our game develop their own leagues not include them in ours .Yes it may make a good week end away but how many follow them not many,the game has got a bitter taste in its mouth to many teams on separate rules from the rest.

Agree 100% with this comment,Lewis and Wood should have gone after the Celtic farce.Sorry to see you go,but if no new team comes in DIV I as i have been told will happen, you will possibly go through next season undeafeated. Hardest game could be against Faxs(swinton) 8 former Fax players in that team now.

Would you go to France every other week to follow?.......we went to Celtic last season and our support was poor and that was only 1 game long distance.
Depending on lots of derbies to prop up our attendances is wrong. We want lots of Leigh fans at the LSV, not hoping Widnes type clubs can boost our attendances. I would walk away from the game if we just settle for being a small town northern part time sport again.
Also yes Toulouse does make a good weekend away, and kind of makes a change to the norm

Because we were crap for a lot of the season. End of.

But not quite as crap as Toulouse, eh?

Thats another debate.

forget about toulouse its your set of red rose numpties that got you relegated.

Because you White rose sheep lovers helped each other out,Batley 6 points from Fax and Fev is a bit fishy to me,infact stinks to high heaven.

As a Cougar fan I have to say its wrong you or anyother club should be relegated even though finishing above Toulouse its a disgrace that the RFL suggested the idea and just as bad the clubs actually accepted it.

I think although maybe wrong all clubs agreed it on the basis folk thinking it wont be us syndrome.

Hopefully Cougars will get promoted but it sticks in my throat the fact you have been screwed.

If we do not get promoted then I look forward to seeing you at your ground at at ours.

Its a sad day for yourselves but clubs have to wake up to the fact the rfl have no interest in fairness.

I wish you well.

Good reply RFLs expansionist ..............Every board should have one..........oh we have more than 1 of the apologists........

Well the main problem was we have been cr@p in the middle part of the season, without experienced or quality coaching and not enough strength in depth especially at halfback.
We can't even blame the bonus point if it hadn't been introduced we definitely would have been 2nd from bottom.
Yes results of other clubs have been iffy, we simply needed to win games such as gateshed and Hallifix and we didn't.

Never mind hopefully we will be better next season role on a proper coach and some more good players. Lets take the div by storm and win the rail cup, a good run in the challange cup and trash some of those teams that are laughing now. We will be back

I think we have some good players that ned to be coached better. I am looking forward to next season.

Similar story....

Look at Super League 2006.....

Wakefield 28 10 0 18 -126 20
Castleford 28 9 1 18 -393 19
Catalans 28 8 0 20 -293 16

We were relegated at the expense of the french. It's not right, but take it on the chin and you bounce back!

thanks girl power nice to have your support

Again don't have a clue what you rave on about sometimes.....one minute you accuse me of having different guises on here, and the next you consistently post things like this in reply to my posts.....all because I put differing opinion across.
I say what I want and believe is right, and as long as I don't offend anybody thats all what matters. Afterall its a message board where it is natural to have differing opinions, and makes the board more interesting than the discussion or sometimes rants going the one way.

As another Cougars fan I can only sympathize with what has happened to Leigh today.

Many years ago we won what is now called the Championship and were denied a place in Super League because the RFL wanted London there.

Being relegated not on merit but because of where you come from is plain wrong and in my opinion borderline racist.

If it's any consellation I hope Cougars go on to win the playoffs and get promoted because I feel Leigh next season will dominate Championship 1 next season even more tham Dewsbury have this.

What the hell are you on about? anyway comiserations the rfl have done their best to do you lot over what a crock of e having Leigh relegated

Exact same thing happened with Widnes when we finished above Catalans. The whole system is a joke and i feel sorry for your club and fans and hope you bounce back next year.

Ok l`ll stick to my OP ...............You do come across as being anti-Leyther ,even given your chosen user name............So unless I`m given info from someone on here who`s known to me I will treat you as I deem fit........ A troll................
