Remember, Saints have won nothing yet,and that just might be the case at the end of the season. Anyway,
Fergy has been outstanding so far, and Leigh and Fev have been producing some excellent rugby, and they should both be entered into Superleague because both clubs can compete even now without any further signings to strengthen. Unfortunately the top clubs don't want to be challenged, and keep their nice slice of the money pie. Well it's time this all changed. Fev & Leigh in, with a 14 team Superleague will make it right for the good of the game.

No thanks, there are enough small, disadvantaged town teams in the “top flight” as it is.

And you're not exactly setting the rugby league world alight yourselves atm. It's teams like yours we have to keep watching on sky making us switch off. Step aside and give teams like Leigh and Fev a chance who are playing great rugby to watch, getting the audiences, and getting the game exciting again, because we are doing that right now on Premier Sports if you have cared to watch it. We need to change the current league from 12 to 14, and start getting more competitive in Superleague instead of the same old top 4-6 teams every year who are just greedy for the central funding.

No thanks, neither Leigh or Fev can grow the sport. As usual they will come up, sign a load of journeymen then go back down again 12 months later. All a bit pointless really….

Ah, so you haven't been paying attention. Have a look at the Leigh squad, and name me the journeymen you're talking about? This Leigh team would fit into Superleague right now, and that's before anymore recruitment. BTW - Blake Ferguson has been outstanding, even without playing on trains. I agree with THIS

Your wasting your time with replying Cokey, he was a die hard Catalan fan who resided in Carcassonne not long ago. The name and team supported may change, but the rhetoric is still the same.

Yeah, he just can't help himself can he?

The current set up for any promoted team is stacked against them hence Toronto, Toulouse probably and Leigh being relegated in first year. Surely we need to adjust the system to try to level the playing field. 14 teams one up one down would be a possible or if this would hurt existing SL clubs too much would taking overseas quota restrictions off the promoted team in year one ease the disparity that late season promotion brings?

I agree with THIS Oh come on, Leigh is full of overseas journeymen. You’ve got 11 in the squad haven’t you?

How about the RFL parachuting Leigh & Fev into Superleague for 2023 and having a14 team Superleague?, and tell them now so they can start recruiting now like SL are doing. Give them dispensation for the first year........Sorted.
BTW - Leigh fans are very happy atm, can i ask you how your fans are feeling?

Ha, it’ll be 2x12 courtesy of IMG soon. You’ll walk that league I’m sure, so it’s just a matter of staying up and you’ll be fine.
