Was hoping it would be the actual application, not just a press release. Whoever comes in is going to find it tough, Leigh have the infrastructure and facilities, nobody can question that. Personally I think having Salford amd Leigh along with Wigan and Saints is a bad idea. but then I can't really see a preferable candidate in Featherstone, Bradford or York. Toulouse would be great for the French game, some interesting days and weeks ahead.

Hard to see what Leigh would bring to the league TBH. Their previous appearances in SL have been nondescript to say the least.

TBH - A reply like this is expected from a snobbish Leeds fan.

I can think of a handful of current SL clubs that Leigh would offer more than

I'm sorry that hearing the truth is a painful experience for you.

Complete waste of time for Degsy.
Its already been agreed the Bulls will get the 12th spot.
Quite frankly im surprised he even bothered with an application.

Eddie Hemming knows best....#legend.
Toulouse bring nothing to the table, apart from being in a nicer country. FACT

Ooh you put the word FACT at the end of your post. In that case it must be true.

What else do they 'bring to the table'. I love that phrase so much, so thought I'd use it as well. (Thanks Jon Wilkin)
In 2006 they entered the UK set up, got promoted to the championship, but in 2012 returned to the French league (what were the reasons exactly ?), anyway they lasted 6 years, which was twice as long as Toronto and should be congratulated I guess. So in 2015 they are again back in the English game, gained promotion to the championship via the play-offs, So they have now been in the champ for 3 seasons but they are now destined for SL because they are based in the south of France and would provide some kind of derby for the Super Leagues darlings Catalans. So let me know the other reasons that they should be allowed in, apart from the fact that they are not an English club.

No not at all, It's your steaming Bu!!$h!t that has a nauseating stench.

After a few failed attempts with embarrassing outcomes, being [size=150GIFTED[/size a SL spot is the only way for ya is it?

It will suit me fine for Leigh to try and [size=150EARN[/size promotion the right way, something you are not near to achieving.

Agree,IF Bradford are gifted a place then I will only be watching the NRL next season, makes it more of a sham than kicking Toronto out.

Well i have to thank you for your last 2 post on this thread for being honest and civilized.

But I thought with all the kicks off on social media it was already Bradford because people are losing their rags and hurling abuse left, right and centre???

On a serious note, the very best of luck to Leigh (and the rest applying). Unless the draw bridge is going up, which it doesn’t sound like it is, then it’s nothing but an invitation to a season of hidings and potential financial issues back at odsal for us so I’d rather sit this one out.

I keep saying it’s not us and we shouldn’t get it, but I can’t help but think I could be stood in super league away grounds next year, buying your beer and tickets and getting slagged off for not deserving it whilst parting with my hard earned

Good post mate.

I see we are all still playing nicely on the VT?



Best of luck to Leigh and their supporters. I would personally prefer to see Leigh or York take the SL spot.

Welcome back, and thanks pal.

Oh I'm sorry.
Well in that case feel free to address my point and list all the things Leigh brought to Super League in their previous visits.
We'll wait.
(The beautiful sea of empty red plastic seats at the Sports Village doesn't count.)

We always play nicely, honest



I'd like to see York in SL some time but, they seem a long way from ready just now and there are more deserving clubs, at the moment.

No need to keep saying sorry, and don't take that posh, snobbish, patronizing, sanctimonious approach with me. Leigh didn't disgrace themselves in 2017 and you know it.

Leigh have made an excellent application,and are in an excellent strong position on and off the field to fill that 12th spot, whether it's right or wrong it being gifted.

Now then, you feel free to list why any one of the other applicants deserve to be in, and why?
We'll wait.

A damn sight more than Toulouse would, for example. If you were a club chairman, which clubs away supporters would you like rattling your turnstiles?

I must say if you’re going to put a bid in on something. A professional compelling 430 page document is the way to do it.

Good luck.

Thanks for starting this topic Cokey, wa sbound to 'ruffle a few feathers' especially from the usual suspects !

Away support is utterly irrelevant to whether a club gets brought in.
