So you'd honestly prefer that Catalans got relegated and went bust rather than them going on to develop a thriving team that can attract 18,000 to a game in Barcelona? I think its more telling that a club who have been around for over a century can't pull in a decent crowd.

So you would rather we went bust ?

completely missing the point

Yep I saw all three coaches a few weeks ago sat in the bingo at featherstone working mens club, plotting the relegation of Leigh.
They then sat down with the teams and told them they would have to lose ans obviously would not get win pay either....all the lads said yes thats fine we will throw the game we dont need thewin pay.........numpty

Because those are the rules, that were set and agreed before the season started.

Just as the stupid bonus point rule was. If that wasnt there you would be relegated anyway, as Toulouse would be above you.

Its sad to see you relegated, I know exactly how you feel as we have been there ourselves, but you need to keep the faith and come straight back up. I am sure Millward will do this for you.

I did over react last night , just responding to a d--head and I was at an all time low,its just that I was so sure that Batley would win and it was proved to be right.Anyone can get anger and frustration fog their thinking once in a while and to be honest I'm far from a bad loser usually.

What I do know is that Leigh did not play up to their standards this season but to go down 3rd from bottom of a 10 team league,when the RFL have a non releation or promotion policy for SL is sickening.The next time I see Lewis or Wood on telly I think I hope I don't have anything heavy in my hand,or its a trip to Currys soon after.

Why Don't You All Accept We Were Just Not Good Enough. Probably The Worst Leigh Side Its Been My Misfortune To Watch In 40 Years Of Watching This Club. Poor Management and Coaching.
Can't Wait For Next Season When Hopefully Some "PROFFESIONAL IDEAS Come To The Fore And We Get Ourselves Out Of The Total Mess We Are Now In. Oh And Bytheway Whats The Betting We'll Still Be Charged £14 To Stand And Watch 3Rd Division Rugby,It Would Not Suprise Me One Little Bit.

How Come All Your Words Start With A Capital Letter?

Good Point

Probably Coz I'm Highly Educated

Not Another. Have You Guys Not Got A Shift Key On Your Keyboard

Yeah but only normally use it on place names, peoples name and start of sentences

Sorry Mate, But I thoug... Oops Thought This Was A Rugby Thread.Not An English Lesson. I'm Sorry If My Way Of Typing Annoys You.

We are always very aware of our spelling on this MB

Its annoying me pal, type properly or Bugger Off

Capitalising every word was common practice in drawing offices when draftsmen wore working on drawing boards.

i just thimk the rule would have been changed if gateshead sea eagles had gone down and not us but hey thats only my opinion

I Thank You For Your "Highly Educated Reply"






I New I Was In The Wrong Job All The Time.

PS I Am Not A Draughtsman And Never Have Been,But Have Found Out It Doesn't Take A Lot To Get Peoples Backs Up On Here.
Any Way Lets Get Back To The Topic In Question

Can anybody realistically say that Toulouse were playing every match with the intensity that would be there if relegation was an option? Once they couldn't make the play-offs they may actually have been experimenting with the side and not pushing hard for bonus points etc.

To say any different is ridiculous.

We will never know is the honest answer.

You answer this would Great Britain RL have benefited more from Leigh experimenting with their U21 or youth winning teams in meaningless matches if we were exempt? Maybe the next Challenge Cup winning hooker may have been uncovered?

I take your point but this wasn't the issue. Leigh were fighting against the drop and Toulouse weren't. Look at how Salford are performing at the end of this year and Castleford last year. It is a totally different mindset.

Leigh have shown in the last couple of weeks that they could play. To go down with 32 points is hard to swallow. However, had Toulouse not faded when their season ended with a few games to go, Leigh would still have gone with 32. It's a real shame.

The real shame is a stupid bonus points system and relegating two clubs when the sides in the division below aren't strong enough at the moment.

Very true mate and until today I didnt know we could actually be replaced by the 7th team in NC1

Maybe he's German?
