TBH I do not really see this as a benefit whatsoever. I don't think that the current squad really would be anything but cannon fodder week in week out in Super League if we get there.
I concede that many of them would deserve a shot at it but the settled side idea is fine if you are settling for Championship Rugby League. Should we gain promotion then the side needs a lot of strengthening.

I think a settled side is probably beneficial for getting out of this division - though as this year has clearly shown, NOT having a settled side has been good enough for us to easily take 2nd spot. I do feel that we will most likely be in this division next year too, btw, so that is what we are now recruiting for. I'm sure the better players have two contracts - one for championship and one for SL.
To be honest Eddie, the only people who really think any of the sides in the championship could just go up and carry on, successfully, with the same squad list are deluded Leigh fans and they are so pumped up and full of themselves that they seem to inhabit not just a different world but a different universe. We, I think, with having more recent experience at the elite level, have a bit more comprehension of just how much difference there is. You get double the cap in SL and anyone who thinks you can be successful using only half of it is deluded, imo.
