They've got battered most weeks and failed to attract many decent crowds. If anything, they're just another example, added to ourselves in 2005, of a club stepping up when their infrastructure wasn't already operating at something approaching the level required.

If we don't get in next time, we'll never get in. Everyone who is in there will have a stadium sorted by 5 years time, hence closed shop.

but it is possible for us to do it. If we went into the SL it would more than likely end up like the last time we were in BUT maybe by the third year we "could" be good enough to just about stay in (possible)

And Leigh will be in that lower class of teams unfortunately? Yes luckily you already have players tied up who will be 'compensated' for on the cap but as for the rest?

Remember you aint gonna be the only team desprate to win the NRC next season and you'll be doing it on a lower budget than the rest

just trying to put a positive spin on things jeeeez sorry

I know mate their trying to make me sound like im on drugs im trying to be positive & look to the future & the possible!

Not having a pop and it's great to see!

But saying we WILL win NRC & Get promoted may not be the best attitude to go into the next season!

P.S. Is it financially viable to go for that 1 lifleine that still may not get you into SL?

Same for a few sides... inc us probably !

I doubt the players will think theres not much work to be done. Do you think we wont get promoted next season....? I'm placing a massive bet that we do & do you think we dont have enough quality next season to win the NRC?

1 - Yes, Course you will.
2 - No teams have more quality as ity stands and will also be recuriting but on a budget twice as big!

championship one for deffinate & us winning the NRC is more than plausable dont u think?

Achieveable yes... likely no! What bets would you on Dewsbury winning the NRC this season?

Yes you'll be better set than they where! But Widnes / Barrow / Fax / Fev / Sheffield / Haven / Gateshead all be going for it next season on twice the budget is my only concern for you lot there!

TBH i'd rather you won it and we'd make next two grand finals

& did u expect barrow to finnish at top spot & in the NRC final I doubt you did!

I'd be very surprised if all those clubs talking about new stadiums actually have them in place in 5 years time!

never said in my post that we WILL, win i did say better chance of progression in theory.

just based on the players we have now and who are in the pipe line added to with some young players coming through the ranks.

but what im saying is that most people a saying that Leigh will gain promotion and poss repeat the form that dewsbury did this year, why is that??

maybe we will have 1 or 2 loses due to trying new & up comng young players but we will be promoted how is it we wont..? we have a far better team than Dewsbury and far better players & coach than theirs!

That's my point and i agree with your comments.

which will boost my theory of better chance to progress in the NRC because we have a lot less tougher games leading into the ko stage of the cup than the likes of widnes, fax, fev etc

exactly evey cloud has a silver lining

But it is very easy to spend a lot on a crap player.

I'm confdent Millward knows wot he's doing!

On 300k cap you can risk more of those than on 150k though... hence my point aswell!

If we are going for the NRC I hope its because the priority is to win the cup , not gain some kind of fictitional bonus point that will mean zip when the RFL change the rules again.

Your wrong there could be three 'lifelines' 2 X NRC comps plus the 2011 season GF, after all the RFL said that the next round of licences would be chosen AFTER the 2011 season.
Not that it matters as the rules will change anyway to fit Tolouse and Gateshead.

Leigh should put 100% in going back up the championship, forget the northern rail cup.

As others have said 2012 is to close for Leigh to think of Superleague, look to get fans behind the clubs Superleague 2015 bid, make next year the start of Leighs 5 year journey to Super League.

...now there's a reoccurring theme.
