Leigh have done a very good job this year but is it that much of a shock in hindsight?

An absolute star studded team thanks to Degsys and I could be wrong here but they've been extremely fortunate with injuries so far this year, not having to dip into the market much and obviously not running an academy. Could've been all so different if the early rounds went differently. Speculation I guess...

Yes, if Leigh hadn't lost the first two rounds, they would be top of Super League.

Ken Davy isn’t putting £2 Million a season into Huddersfield that’s just laughable!
It’s more like £200,000 a season, I think someone who should know his numbers better has added a zero accidentally on purpose!

Still a hell of a lot of money though!

Especially when they virtually give season ticket away.
