Fair comment. As I stated your club know's best. I must admit the Superleague keeps being mentioned,but we all seem to be forgetting the middles 8's in order to get there. That will be a league of it's own.

Hope Sheffield are there..

I think we also forget that, if any of our teams get promoted, we're more than likely going to be in the Middle Eight again for the next few seasons.

It's not all going to be beer and skittles. There's no three year guaranteed period.

It may very well go back to Licensing knowing the tendency of the RFL to flip-flop.
My friends from the borough of Wigan will be very impressed with renewing the extra point for new Super League clubs being 20 miles apart from existing ones.

The irony for me is that one of us could have been playing in $uperleague in 2015, had we stuck with the licensing system. Instead, we're playing for a chance to play for a place - against clubs with much better central funding.

There isn't enough money to fund a proper, competitive Div 2 so you may well be right. I think we had to give this system a go - if only to stop the whingers - but, if there ends up being no de facto promotion and relegation, it'll lose all its credibility.

Leigh arent breaking the Salary Cap, as the Eagles Directors have pointed out, its quite big this season!

But not so big over previous seasons.
This season they signed Dixon once the season was underway and they stated they had wanted to sign him before but were cap restricted until Beaumont left their club.
Then they signed Hock and even with assistance from Salford on payments it does add to suspicions.
However,as shown earlier it really doesn't concern me.Paying for top quality for rugby league supporters is to be encouraged.
I should add that the RFL only took action against Barrow -Des Johnson- when a player returned to OZ and told his story and Halifax were allowed a few seasons back because they had started recruiting before the cap had been altered.

Forget about us, just stick to supporting Doncaster Eagles

:BLAH:

The most compelling viewpoint I have seen and the most cogent argument ever presented.

Impressive you Leigh followers.After your players have made such an impression with Halifax and Bradford you supporters continue winning friends and influencing people.

Thats why the middle 8's for me is a better structure for all. 23 games into a season morale I would say very low if your in the bottom 4 as a SL outfit.Complete reversal of the situation for a Championship side..

To be honest if the structure pans out correctly,it should work better for the championship clubs. How you deal with the extra income from those middle 8 games is what sets your future in SL. Unless of course you have youth coming through,as in stars of the future.
