Disappointing and a very sad day in the clubs history.

Well I suppose London it is next year, but will all the deals that have been done for the coach and the players still stand or are the get out clauses already being filed?

Poor season, poor effort from the club as a whole.

feel really sorry for you guys,it was not that long ago when stupid rule changes also sent us down,bleeding frogs shouldnt even be in british rugby league.hope you come straight back up good luck keep you chins up on this sad day.you will be really missed by a lot of vikings

Those are the rules. Fact is we were not good enough to stay up end of. No excuses from us.

Maybe we wasn't good enough for our own expectations this season, but to be the 2nd team from 10 clubs to be relegated with 32pts just 4 behind playoff place, and a total of 9 wins out of 20.......its not right.


Won't happen but if RFL change it so we stay up I would gladly take it.

Never say Never the RFl could have anything up their sleaves and its just another embarrassment for them first the Celtic 6 now the Frogs.

Rules or not, still a scandal that the RFL are prepared to sacrifice a founder member for a french team.

That will not bother them one ayota Popman, as we all know they are morally inept and are ruining the game we all love so much.

They did it with Widnes when Catalans went into Super League. Lets not get bitter about it. We need to turn this into a possitive and come back bigger, better and stronger. Leigh as a town now more than ever need to get behind the club.

Very sorry for you. Keep the faith.

RFL have messed up with relegating 2 teams from 10 clubs. We knew the rules about Toulouse. The fact about 2 going down is it was unfare even before a match had been played this season.

dont worry lads, you lot will be back up in no time with the side your building for next season

Agreed.

The RFL might wash their hands and say 'thems the rules' but it doesn't make it ok. It wasn't when it happened to Widnes, Castleford and it isn't now.

they sure did. it is a discrace hope they keep you up wanted gateshead queenslanders to go down, they are the ones that should be booted out not leigh chin up you will be back.

Relegated from a non relegation place.......could only happen Rugby League. The worst Organisational sporting body on the whole planet.

Is it actually set in stone that, with Toulouse finishing in the bottom two and with them being immune from relegation, the team above them go down?

If not I think that they should only relegate Donny and promote two teams to bring the number of clubs in the Championship up to twelve making it unnecessary to have blank weeks (which is what I'm sure they would have done had Gateshead been in that position).

Anyway, if you do go down as seems likely I am really sorry and hope you bounce back at the first attempt as I'm sure you will.

Feel absolutely gutted it has taken the shine off a very good performance and at the moment i cant think of anything positive about our plight right now but maybe in a few days when i am over it and i think of the team we will have there is only one way for us really and that is straight back to the championship but as for now

Farce! where has the sportsmanship gone in the game? All you that are putting we deserve to go down and its our own fault just look at the table. We dont deserve it at all as we are not in the relegation zone! the rugby league is a farce and no doubt that this is just going to turn people away from rugby league and our club. Sad sad day

Relegation is a good thing though, remember? Promotion and relegation from Super League should never have been scrapped, remember?

The reason we are going down is because we weren't good enough, our players didn't perform when it mattered and the coach couldn't motivate them.
It's ok blaming the RFL for letting a french team who can't be relegated and lettting Gateshead have a different policy on Aussie players to the rest of the league.
Both the Rowleys need to fall on their swords but I doubt that will happen.

Fairly yes ,is this fair no.

Two intersteing things there Steve. Different rules for 2 teams. Does that make a legal challenge possible. This is no longer a sport.

Pratt!
If you thought b4 typing you will realise a lot of Leigh fans are gutted because when you look at league table we aren't in a relegation spot. I understand Toulouse should have time to bed in a new competition, but some of my fellow fans don't agree with it. So your gloating point is wrong.



My annoyance is different because 2 teams should not be relegated from only 10 clubs..The league is too small to have this many

Gutted for you guys. I still remember with fondness when we used to play you regularly and they were always good close games. You will be back and you will come back stronger.

We knew the rules before we started playing this year, is it fair? Of course it's not we've been relegated from a non-relegation spot but it just about sums up the idiots that are in charge of our game.
