Live on GMR a moment ago Robbie confirmed irrelevant of what happens on Sunday Robbie will be a Leigh player in 2010 and 2011.

Nice to hear he's dedicated to the cause but could cause cap problems with his wages presumably being high.

Or maybe he knows something we don't

As it stands Nozzy there will still be 2 leagues next year so I was delighted he pledged his future.

I'd rather take a rap from the RFL for breaking the salary cap next season than not winning the NRC thus not allowing us to apply for the licenses in 2011.

But isn't one of the criteria for a franchise to do with not breaking the salary cap over the previous 'X' amount of years?

Lets face it they wont need much of an excuse to keep us out will they and breaking the cap would just give them more reason to overlook us.

I hope Leigh have used there brains and he is playing for very little cash but is on a much better wage for his role behind the scenes, iam sure a lot of other clubs do this.

I may be wrong but the way I read it last time you get a point for not breaking the cap so let sbreak it and get points for much better things!

ALL income to players from the club or any of it's directors or sponsors is included in the salary cap

What if they are employed by the stadium company???

More to the point , why are we discussing SL and Leigh in the same posts

When we are drawing 4/5 ,000 per game and have a competitive team then yes

Till then

Only Cas have ever done this in our league Steve, I truly believe we are either 6 or 18 months away from possibly achieving the above. But either 6 or 12 months in RL is a very long time.

Hey, just like TKL when he was with us - he spent most of hist time, 'behind the scenes'!

Won't be able to play for us then - he'll spend all his time in meetings!

Just listened to your G.M.R. phone in.What a load of rubbish,i thought it would be about G.M.R.teams.Okay Warrington won the cup but surerly they come under radio mersyside,2mins on Leigh,3 mins on Salford.People from Wigan,Oldham.Rochdale,Swinton etc must feel they dont exist.I was stopping at my daughters and she said it was always like that the programme over the last 12months had turned mostly to Super League teams.

So you think we can treble our crowds for the start of next season if we stay up




2 years, a lot of money and a lot of marketing if you are lucky

Do you suggest that the RL programme on Radio Lancs only discusses Blackpool Panthers?

You cant apply for a franchise outside of the Championship can you?

No

Absolutely no point Toulouse being in Championship if they could apply outside it anyway.

Do you know what the worst thing is about BBC GMR is. When there is a local derby in that crap over rated round ball rubbish, both BBC GMR and BBC 5 Live and other local stations all have the same rubbish round ball game on. Now thats very frustrating when our season is coming to a compelling climax and you can't tune in to a single game but get 10 second updates every 15 mins.

There is a lot more interest in the round ball game.

No just add 1700 to Mondays crowd!!

I stand corrected but i think the criteria is you have to have played in a Championship GF or win in the NR Cup. So I think the answer is Yes you can?

We need to offer our neighbouring SL clubs offers (as mentioned previously on this mb) to watch us. Millward (if we stay up) could be a big draw not just for us but SL fans too.
Get us playing Saturday evenings so we don't clash etc
Also lets get rid of the W1gan hatred and try to get them down to our place

The Championship application criteria only applies to British clubs

Toulouse do not need to win the NRC or appear in a GF to qualify to apply

Have to be in the Championship too though, I think - which would have been interesting for CC, if they hadn't managed to cheat (allegedly) their way out of NL2.
