So, a couple of players, known to be complete wasters, get more contracts at £50k+ a year....

may as well start watching wresting, more honesty in it!

Why? Because a club decides to sign rugby league players for a rugby club? All four are great signings for Leigh, and I think it should be applauded that their desire to get to Super League is attracting talented players.

I think the opening poster is just rehearsing the feelings of many in the game in that a lot feel that perhaps their action takes away the level playing field that the salary cap generates in the Championship. If leigh take the RL to Court over the salary cap as they are threatening this morning then it will probably be the end of the control method we have used for so long and a return to the free for all rich get rich, poor get relegated Wigan win everything, Clubs go bust system of the Super League in the 90's. The whole mantra of the new structure was that anyone could get into Super league Leigh will however be creating a mini elite in the Championship which will spread to two or three Clubs who can afford to do it and the rest will just fall behind again! Interesting times!

If Leigh want to waste there money then let them,they should look at Salford and see that money doesn't buy success and still won't,apart from Hansen,I wouldn't touch the overs.

How is it a level playing field though Wilf when your after promotion but not allowed to spend any where near the Super League clubs ?
Should allow top 6 of Championship to spend up to Super League salary or automatically promote the top team.
This may cause a couple of yo-yo teams but in the end will strengthen the teams up.
Wondering what Salford are going to do for next year looks though be hard pressed to put a representative team out at the moment

So the top 6 spend maybe what they can't afford and sod the rest,yes that is a level playing field.

Read in context not mentioned the OR factor.
If the RL want promotion /relegation one or other has to be applied.
