Not a chance Robin, we are a stench that the RFL does not want at the top table. Today has proved that. I don't think they're that fond of Leigh either. I think it's the sensible choice, and they might even ruffle a few feathers among the sitting tenant under-achievers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clogdance Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Surely it's between you guys and Toulouse for promotion in 2021. Hopefully we'll meet in the challenge cup next season, always a cracker is Leigh v Fev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the perfect scenario. Leighs goal is simply 11th place, the same standing from 2017. Alot of people forget that. I think you guys have a great chance and I wish you the very best of luck. SL does need a shake up and too many teams have been in their comfort Zones for quite some time now. Degsy is daft enough and bold enough to spend his readdies. Its his dream. Wakefield, Salford, Hudds and HKR will really need to look over their Shoulders next year because Leigh going up is probably their worst possible scenario. Two pit Towns holding their own in SL has a ring to it in 2022. The invincibility of SL has evaporated, and the Challenge Cup upsets are now more frequent. I honestly do not think we will finish bottom. We didn't last time and I am all for the underdog. I will be rooting for you boys next year as your consistency over the years deserves it )even though I bloody hated Post Office Rd as a player). Good luck!

Yeah it's time you broke up the party and let someone get relegated that haven't been relegated before. It's been too cosy too long.

Yes and London came within a whisker of staying up in 2019 - relegated on the last day through points difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't fault London's effort in 2019, but they did benefit (twice?) From saints fielding their lads as they had priority fixtures next....

Why, what did they actually offer over any of the other applicants in terms of the judgement criteria - and I mean genuinely, not the 'we might have got a French TV deal' argument?

My reasoning was that as well as suiting the SL/RFL's obsession with expansion, they would have been the least offensive choice to the heartland clubs.

The French government's opposition to gambling advertising and sponsorship might have had something to do with it, considering that Betfred are the main sponsors of Super League?
