Say Fev win the playoffs will he carry on his crusade? What about if Fev have had a more advantageous fixture list compared to the team in 3rd, can they then complain? Then what I think team in 3rd.....etc... It's farcical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it’s virtually every other club in the league that failed to travel to Toulouse I don’t see how that’s any fault of Toulouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daddy Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 And we're wondering why RL is at an all time low with crowds and TV money down when no one has no idea if a team has been relegated or what's happening next season. The regular season games are finished yet we have no idea as customers about the league structures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky should have withheld their intentions or any announcement of the next contract untill they had some clear and precise direction of how the game is going to be formatted with the money they are paying, someone at Sky needs their hands slapping for making this decision, who in their right mind is willing to spend so much money without knowing what they are going to get, and especially with a group of people who are best known for dillying and dallying.

paulwalker71 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 2 hours ago, Harry Stottle said: I think the opening post is quite a reasonable question to ask, Mr Beaumont quite publicly stated rightly or wrongly what he was going to say at the meeting the following day (13th Sept.) and if the answers did not conform to his opinion he would take legal advice as to how he proceeded by either challenging it or I presume shut up. Surely in the light of his intention he or at least even SL should confirm that relegation will stand as stated a couple or few weeks ago. I don't think the governing body of a sport should be railroaded into having to keep making statements or confirming rules that have already been clearly stated throughout the year Only last month https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/super-league-relegation-confirmed-and-thats-bad-news-for-leigh-centurions-3343910 This has all been caused by Beaumont shooting his mouth off on local radio. A credible person would have quietly taken legal advice and then decided on a course of action, rather than spouting off first, trying to bully the SL chairman into going back on a decision that they've obviously already discussed a few weeks ago.

Why should superleague have to release any sort of statement in regards of which direction we are heading? If we are to be relegated all well and good. Promote Toulouse and let the cards fall where they may, let's face it,they were the better option in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues Ox Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Whisper seems to be that Poundshop Koukash has been struggling to sort his squad out for next season with a large number of players already taking up contracts elsewhere and a struggle to put together a squad that he feels will win the Championship and this has lead to his outburst. Everyone saw this relegation coming apart from Degsy it seems and he should have been planning a lot earlier than he were for next season but he has let his ego get in the way once again and it looks like coming back to bite him on the backside.

As a Club we have been flatly refused on two occasions by Toulouse to replay our game on a weekend or mid-week which is a great disappointment for the whole game. Why couldn’t this have been arranged. As a game, we mustn’t lose any opportunity to showcase the very best of the sport with the best two teams in the Championship going head-to-head one more time.

Absolute BS, why didn't they just play the game that was arranged in the first place? Seems like they only wanted to play the fixture when it was too late.

SL only confirmed to it a few weeks back which the article you qoute referenced to it, only a few weeks before that it was speculated next seasons SL could be 14 teams made up of 2 promotions and no relegation. As I said before, I don't want Leigh in SL next season, I didn't want them to go in this season, getting a reprieve from relegation at this time in the season would be tantamount to getting promoted and needing to buy player's, but there would be no squad of player's to build on at Leigh, and where would they come from.

Simply if Toulouse were to lose against Fev in any rearranged game they would finish second on the % of wins from games played, and who knows may have to give up home advantage for the GF.

The Featherstone chairman clearly stated that his team could not travel to France to play any games as their players weren't vaccinated and could not isolate because they had part time jobs.
