Any one who thinks we have realistic hopes of a SL place must view this as a good thing. Gateshead out of our league, a team that the RFL might favour, replaced by a team that hasnt got a cat in hells chance of a place in SL. Added to that it also gives us a 4 point advantage over Widnes.

Yes and, whether you believe it or not, I definitely prefer ours.

Very lucky Leigh but thats life. Good thing is more money for Fax. Leigh should have a big amount now to spend on players. Will be interesting to see how Leigh do as they should be extra determined to avoid getting near the relegation zone next year.

yeh it's pap!

Takes 30 minutes to get into it(ticket farce), theres no atmosphere in it (too big and spaced out), and the stewards are wierdo's (no bottle tops).

give me the shay ANY day, a proper RL ground.

Great news that they are staying up. Really pleased about this and it just shows what a complete set of idiots the RFL are with their stupid and futile expansion policy IMO. Heartland clubs should be looked after and expansion should be welcome but in the appropriate way....PROMOTION! by winning games under the same rules as the rest!

This news has ruined my week.

Dirtiest and worst team last season. Deserve to be down. Joke stadium, joke team.

At least it's easy points for us next year.
