Whilst i am over the moon for Leigh, i feel that the RFL will take this as as "the formula works" and it will be at least 2 to 3 years before another team gets promoted to SL and only if you can spend, spend, spend on players.

As for our team.... if only we had won this ....if only we had won that..... if only we had played better!

Beaumont is a c|_|nt

No, he got his team into SL

I'm extremely unhappy that Leigh's promotion proves the system works.

It only works with a sugar daddy.

But the RFL won't see that.

How does that not make him a c|_|nt?

Can't believe Leigh's promotion means Beaumont gets hammered. You lot should hope & pray for a man who's prepared to pay!! Even if he's marmite. Respect the achievement.

As a fan of a team that has experienced its fair quota of c|_|nts I feel we probably should sh|_|t up about other teams's c|_|nts. Beaumont may be a c|_|nt, but he's a Super League c|_|nt, and he's a c|_|nt who's never bankrupted his club.

I'm just pleased I managed to condense all my bitterness into a handful of drunken posts - now I can move on

Bit harsh on Derek, we've all been a bit miffed by his antics and outbursts at times, but fair play, he's backed his team with his money and achieved what he set out to do

I think we are all a tad envious deep down

Just want to add if nobody admits to been a bit envious, just remember Leigh fans/players/Derek will be waking up with an hangover this morning after achieving promotion, we are waking up looking forward to going to Workington in a Mickey Mouse comp

I'm not envious in the slightest.
I'm happy for Leigh, they're a good club with a good bunch of fans. I say well to done to them and I hope we can join you in 2018.

I am envious - but they earned their seat at the top table. I just wish our lads could play like them.

We did. We played at Leigh's level 3 times this season. Out of about 30games.

It hasn't worked for Salford.

Roger, you forgot to add, getting beaten at Worky.

Charlie I've added that on the Workington away thread my friend, on the list of our new lows

I'm jealous as hell of Leigh, I want my team in SL and I'll admit I am green... but bloody well done to them you can't help feeling happy for them. And now if the 'Home of RL' team takes the tumble I'll be even happier

You can guarantee that if we had been in Leigh's shoes this year:

[list
London would have grabbed one more try and nicked it
Fev would have beaten us
All of those disallowed Salford tries would have stood
Albert Kelly would have caught the right plane home
It would have been baking hot when we played Rovers rather than that downpour
Huddersfield would have bothered to turn up
Jamie Ellis wouldn't have dropped that pass
[/list:u

This club is cursed, I tells ya

Genius offer to throw the gates of the LSV open for free for the Batley game for a "going up to SL" party this weekend. Brilliant, bit mad, but brilliant!

Degsey is KING.

Over 8k sold already. It's going to be a carnival like atmosphere if the weather is kind.

Or not sold, to be totally correct.

Well corrected. I suppose somebody is paying though.

I'm a jealous Bulls fan right now, but well done Leigh!

Such an achievement to do this without the need of the Million Pound Game and makes the actual MPG even more entertaining, as one of the teams is going to start next season in a lower division.

I can't knock it. For all his bluster and and lunacy, Degsy deserves to enjoy his success now, as it's largely down to him putting the money in. And if he's willing to share that enjoyment by letting people in for free and potentially recruiting a load of new fans for next season in Super League, fair play to him.
