Back to my infamous spreadsheets, here is an updated version, with results to date, plus hypothetical outcomes for the remaining fixtures. As can be seen, two team finish joint 3rd on a mere 8 points, and so one gets the auto SL spot on Points Difference. It is funnier this year as the two are both SL clubs, but the principle is just the same

Huddersfield are already on 6 points...

It could still all go wrong for Leigh if:

Hudds beat Leigh and Leeds
Leigh lose to Leeds and Hudds
Rovers beat London, Huddersfield and Featherstone

It was the comment about someone managing the salary cap, which would be focused on 2017 that made me think he's decided to stick around. FWIW, if HKR play as badly as they did for 60 mins on Saturday again, they'll be the one going down in my opinion.

I see the point you are making but you are far from the only team to run us close this year.

We have also played Fev and London 3 times.

Played Fev once at home and twice away and all 3 have been extremely close matches going right to the death much like when we played Bradford.

London we played twice at home and won both by just 4 points. Weirdly we absolutely stuffed them down in London.

Batley beat us by 2pts away and ran us all the way at home losing by just 7.

Sheffield ran us very close at home and were 1 minute away from beating us away before Gaz Hock saved the day.

Fact is there are loads of games that have been extremely close this season but in the end we came out on top nearly every time. I count 11 Leigh games this season with just 1 score or less in it. Plus a couple of 7 point wins and a couple of 8 point wins only decided by a late penalty or DG.

Small margins in individual games but the common theme seems to be that although we aren't always at our best we are nearly always capable of doing enough over 80 minutes to come out on top be it against Sheffield at home or Hull KR away.

Again I do not see your point. Do you mean if Bradford had played someone else then they would have made the middle 8's? Well that rules finishing above Batley out as they were 3 points in front so I guess another team you could have played was Fev but they beat you so thats not a given but then again Fev could say they could have played someone other than Fax so they may have won as well.......................................We could go on and on but the reason that both Bradford and Fax did not finish in the top 4 is because over the season we were worse than the teams above us and to even argue Bradford were close to Leigh is laughable. To think anyone will bridge the gap between Leigh/Ex SL club next season is almost as funny.

Re: Buying into super league : Thu Sep 08, 2016 7:59 am  
My comments are borne out of frustration. We are constantly told how good Leigh are and yet when our lazy fekas got their fingers out they were withing a total of 6 points over 3 games. And this with some other muppet coming up with a 'no half-back' offence. To have lost 7 games in this league is unforgivable. I do agree with you that where you finish in the league does not lie and that you end up where you deserve. I suppose we are a reverse of Leicester in that the team was less than the sum of it's parts.
As Scarlett O'Hara said 'Tomorrow is another day' so roll on next season and good luck GFB to you and Fax.
