I had no idea that you could qualify for a Category A licence by effectively fielding an Academy team. Wonder who cleaned out the bookmakers with that knowledge.

Last season was a joke with free reign to certain clubs. And now we get that crap live on the BBC?

Not impressed. Where is the leadership in this sport? I'm amazed at the repeated bending over for Salford. And I probably only know a bit of that Listening to their coach pre-game shows what a tinpot set-up the Super League is. Confusion over what line-up they were allowed to pick. Nobody is going to take responsibility, which if it is the case, tells me everything I need to know. I'll just vote with my remote control going forward.

Hopefully the BBC will hide future games behind the Red Button. Couldn't the London Broncos go to the Super League teams and ask for an advance on money as well? For season 2028 perhaps when they could claim to be Cat A level.

We've not had any meaningful leadership since Richard Lewis left.

You did get the dirty end of the IMG stick last season. But, as said "organisation" has put the floppy in the RFL's trouser department, they can do very little to punish Salford's insolence (see Bongser's lengthier post on the Leigh forum).

Whilst on, Bradford looked very good for the first half against Cas. Think your gameplan should be damage limitation tomorrow. Sorry.

Damage limitation- I make you right.

To be honest I’m mightily relieved that we’ve actually got a team to put out, might have been helpful to have an easier start!
Still we have 6 guys from last season, 4 loanees who are hopefully SL ( or at least Championship) quality. Not sure about the rest, I’m guessing a few will have to step up a level but if everyone gives it 100% ………. Sorry, just desperately looking for positives.

If as some would have you believe "the end of the world is nigh!" Tomorrow afternoon at 14.55 might be a handy time for it to be so.
