Post subject:  D Day for Gateshead
According to the Leigh site , the RFL Board will decided the make up of the leagues below SL on Friday.

The problem being which division Gateshead will be in after Liquidation & does that decision affect Leighs relegation.

Is this not a similar situation to us at the end of our season in the Big league in 94 where we had to start again on the bottom rung or does this not count for expansion clubs ?

I believe that Gateshead have asked to be placed in Championship One.

If the RFL agree to that (and why wouldn't they?) the only real decision would be about Leigh.

If the RFL then confirm Leigh's relegation, the Championship would operate with just 10 teams.


All interesting stuff.

Leigh should stay up because if Gateshead had not played players that they could not afford to pay then they would have probably been relegated instead of Leigh.

To be honest, I think that Leigh were a little unlucky to be relegated (if that decision is ratified).

Morally, Gateshead should be deducted points, finish next to bottom and be relegated along with us.

On a personal note, Leigh will make the Championship a stronger division with their support and also Championship One may be a little more competative without them.

That's the word on the street, Leigh and Gateshead stop in Championship1 but I don't think anyone knows for sure. Plus, if Leigh stay down I believe they've asked for rules on their spending to be relaxed.

Bit more info here.

For what its worth I think Leigh should be in the Championship & Gateshead in Championship 1.

Common sense would agree with that but this is rugby league.
