That comment is a little over my head I must admit. But in any case, had we not had a Covid issue and a few injuries, it's quite possible that we would have still only kept them to near 40. They are in a different class to even a full strength Bradford.

It was interesting given a bulls fan was trying to rip a leigh fan and yet Bradford were just as poor in their relegation season. If not funny, maybe ironic......but still worth noting as any fan of the bucket shakers should really be keeping to themselves and not drawing attention to the fact that they are in receipt of more Favours and money from the rfl and rugby community as a whole than any other club in the games history. Remember when the head of the RFL decided to buy Oddslum? You know the guy....he's chairman of the club now......

it just seems crazy to me that a club joins the party late and is still expected to be able to compete, factor in that leigh were given less money and it just gets crazier. Id switch that around. Give the promoted team at least one years grace, even two - they cant be relegated - that keeps some of the others on their toes too, then give them MORE money and a slightly bigger cap so they can entice players away from the more established teams.

WOW! That's a fantastic post, which i totally agree with.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! And thank you for that,and i would've said exactly the same myself, had it been another club instead of Leigh.

You'd be hard pushed to find a worse SL team than London in our first season at Barnet. Chairman had had a meltdown after a humiliating CC SF defeat to Wigan, went into pre season with no plyers, a football club owner bribed by the RFL to host us, an inexperienced coach.
We still managed to be Leeds for our solitary win!

Utterly childish rubbish..
Well done Leigh on another win. London's one win in an SL season against Leeds was against their reserves and academy players. The first team was rested.
