Did they? Like all clubs agreed to save London Broncos a few years ago?

So which clubs didn't agree to the Toulouse deal?

The London thing was for teams in SL to worry about.

Do not feel too sorry for Leigh I have read in a rugy magazine today they are meeting with the rfl to get special dispensation on the salary cap.

The reasoning being the salary cap in the championship and championship 1 is from next season £150,000 which includes elements of money to be used on players and also facilities.

What Leigh are saying is the new ground has all facilities and therefore want to use that element towards players contracts.

I hope the rfl knock this back as this sets a precedent in that all clubs with new or modern grounds or those that share soccer grounds could in theory use this argument.

You cannot compare what has happened to Leigh and us.

Leigh had all season to prepare for this.
We were robbed. No other way of saying it.

So Leigh knew they were going to be relegated in February?

Leigh KNEW they were going to be relegated at around 4.40pm on the 6th September 2009, so your right it cant be compared as Keighley obviously had more time than Leigh did on your way of looking at it (with a few facts thrown in of course).

Times and circumstances are different, Im not saying Leigh did not deserve to be relegated as we knew the rules but your statement is completely wrong, in saying we had all season to PREPARE for it.

Leigh had since February to stop it happening.
So they did have a lot more time than us to prepare for it.

You see its how you look at it and say it
