Actually, just been thinking about how much their fans gloated on here 3-4 years ago (e.g. the Blackpool win), so although I don't agree with Toulouse surviving, it's funny nonetheless.

Well if we can give it out when its going good then we can also take it when things go wrong.


Tho when we beat you at Blackpool it was a shock result, and with you lot being the biggest most famous club in the world you can understand why we was gloating so.

Must be the best playing record of any team ever relegated in pro RL.

9 Wins and 11 Losses in 20 league games.

Their %age record is better than say Bradford or Warrington in SL.

Just shows that the low championship salary cap level makes for a very close and competitive league.

I do feel for Leigh

However I also feel that if it means Tolouse can become a super league team soon it is for the best, as they are sure to improve the English game majorly

Dont you mean the french game?

How

Which kind of highlights relegating 2 teams out of only 10 clubs wasn't the best thing to do.
If the championship is staying as it is, then maybe next season best only 1 team going down.

If TO had not been the 11th team in the Championship then Leigh would have finished second to last and been relegated. TO are the 11th team and were always clear of relegation, I don't se how this is a "joke". If there was a problem then it should have been raised beforehand TO not joined the Championship and Leigh getting relegated just the same.

A real shame to see a club like Leigh go down. I hope they can bounce back.

To be totally honest I fully expect them to "Do a Dewsbury" and come straight back up unbeaten.

It's a joke because a long-standing traditional English RL team has being screwed (yet again) for a French club, stinks IMO.
No problem with Toulouse trying to build up and eventually become an SL club, but why exemption is it was supposedly already a league hotbed?

I think Gateshead and Tolouse should be nailed on for lisences next time round. That way everyone in the north east of england and southern france will become obsessed with super league and the financial implications will be massive

toulouse' place in the table is irelevant...every club knew they could'nt be relegated before a ball had been thrown.....so leigh have'nt gone down because if toulouse




toulouse had a cracking season imo...well done toulouse

Can't say I agree Albert.



I bet Leigh wish they'd been given [iBenefit of the Doubt[/i like three years ago.

Why were Toulouse given exemption though

Yes, your old character (well, one of them).

How do you do that,make a complete mess of the quote facility

no idea!

Ah right, apologies. Well I think you're wrong because sticking a team in the middle of an area and praying for the best is insane and fails more often then it works.

That's why an abysmal 1900 turned up on Saturday night for an SL game (most of whom presumably got in free as well



).

Ticking 'Disable BBCode in this post' is one way

I thought Leigh had aspirations to step up to SL. This doesn't bode well for their future franchise applications if they can't even compete in the lower tiers.

as a safety net...any new team,traveling 2000mile everyother weekend is going to be up against it in their first season....


am i right i think toulouse can be relegated next season? if not so be it?...but remember all the english clubs get 2 cracks at super league eligibility..toulouse get just the one...so its swings and roundabout for mine...
