So who should be the chosen one then in your weird mind? Surely you're not worried about Leigh wupping your A$$3$ with our ever increasing strong squad. I would fully understand if you don't want Leigh in due to the threat of being wupped, and you then struggling near the bottom of the ladder. That wouldn't do for you would it owd cocker

Look old chap, if my team were relegated they'd just change the rules to get us back in again; from that perspective I honestly couldn't care who is up or down, it's utterly irrelevant (although signing past-it, broken-down, Wigan reject thugs is hardly an intimidating statement of intent).

But from the point of view of clubs which have served their time, done the right thing by the sport and the people in it and who offer the best for the game's wider future Leigh don't cut it.

I honestly don't know why you find this unsatisfactory - it's hardly a unique perspective within the sport where the prospect of Leigh returning to Super League and Derek Beaumont returning to boardrooms is not particularly welcome.

Sigh.
Another Leigh fan who doesn't like some simple home truths and fails to come up with any arguments in favour of their club's application.

We've only ever spent 2 seasons in Super League, and it will hardly be a disaster when we don't get voted in. But as long as Derek Beaumont is involved I'm pretty confident that we will be back in it for a 3rd time by gaining promotion on the playing field. I stated right from the outset that the 12th club should be Featherstone or London as they were the 2 clubs that lost out because of Toronto's promotion, and I haven't changed my opinion. But those 2 clubs like ours are not grabbing the attention of the media with their applications. Toulouse are winning this by a country mile, with Bradford in 2nd place due to their excellent SL history. That's my take on it all anyway (for what it's worth) Ghosty.

It's time to sort this out. Let Leigh into Superleague to replace Catalans, and put Catalans in the Championship with Toulouse and they can have their French derbies.

Plus playing at that level Les Catalans can then put more French players than the odd couple into their team.

So....More French players can play in the teams at that level
Away fans will go to both derbies
French TV may pay to televise the clubs...........

A third French club could then become possible?

WUM

Literally stating facts gets you incredibly upset. Bizarre.

Hetherington doesn't need me to defend him but if you're comparing his achievements in and for the game with Beaumonts it's a tough sell for your man.
