It would be suicidal for any Championship club to take on what is being asked without insurances of no relegation.

I have a suspicion that the "winning" team were told a long time ago. And I also wonder if they were told not to worry about the reduced money and being whipping boys because they'll not be relegated.

I’m not going to do a Donnyman and claim I have definitive inside info (even though everytime he was proven to be lying)
But someone I know who has never been wrong before stated it’s definitely Bradford that will be announced on Monday.

Sad times for rugby league in this country

If you're not agitated why jump to his defense so often?

You can't just post stuff that accuses someone of something without backing it up.

Classy as usual.

Best post in this thread is the serial bull4hitter Donnyman claiming that Tolouse’s 3500 attendance was due to the 138 away Bradford fans.

Yet you still all fall for it lmao

Col, there will be P&R next season.....up to now anyway. At the end of next season, we will have the new Sky TV deal for 2022. It's anyone's guess whether the structure will change for the 2022 season. Personally,I think we (Leigh) have done enough with our application to get that 12th spot,however, I think Bradford will nick it. I've said all along, that i'm quite happy to EARN a place in SL on the field.

I hope whoever gets 12th spot can stay up and bring a little karma to the chairmen that collectively decided to low blow whoever comes in by giving them such significantly less funding.

Fwiw I think Bradford or Leigh will go up with only Leigh capable of staying up.

I believe the announcement is on the 16th, which is not Monday.

Bradford are capable of staying up, but only by the intervention of the RFL & SLE who will will block their relegation if necessary !!!

It's the only way that Odsall can work for the RFL, the place is crippling !!!

Whoever gets awarded the place in Super League, good luck to them. It won't be my club Leigh, but hopefully we will gain promotion in the next couple of years....but it's not the end of the world if we don't, as we've only ever had 2 seasons in SL anyway, and we've done okay as one of the top championship clubs.

If that’s the case, the only club building for SL is Leigh. The only club to compete at that level is Leigh. I still think the advantage is another season in Championship, and sod SL.

"Thunder's coaching set-up and facilities are superb; its community outreach is well-established and growing.

"Newcastle and the north east has considerable future growth potential, backed by its owner - as has already been recognised by the decision to play the Super League Magic Weekend at St James' Park for a fifth time in 2021, and also by Rugby League World Cup 2021 with five fixtures to be played in the region including the tournament opener in Newcastle.

"The club has a clearly-stated aspiration of Super League success this decade. Overall the panel thought its application most closely matched the vision of the RFL's Strategy Reset."
