That article should be ringing alarm bells at the RFL and also Leigh. If there is any element of truth to the allegation they are looking to form a legal challenge to the salary cap, they should be removed from the league structure altogether. If they do ignore the cap rules, rather than fining them, kick them out.

Incredible really, makes Salford appear to be a professional organisation with a responsible and prudent owner.

If not true, the club should really go after the MEN.

Should a club mount legal action against the RFL, they immediately resign their membership of the rfl whilst the action is ongoing.

I would guess there are ways around that however (such as rather than launching a legal action as Leigh centurions, supporting a player launching that action)

People have yet to realise that we can and will do what we want. Learn to deal with it.

Maybe that's the longterm plan. Leigh can set up Leigh Superleague.

4 members, Leigh, Leigh reserves, Leigh academy & East Leigh. They play each other home & away 4 times a season. Sorted!

Weird that you didn't want to be promoted then isn't it.

It's that sort of attitude that causes people to devise your club. It's also very hypocritical.

You complain that other clubs (namely Wakefield) haven't played within the rules fairly, yet you want Leigh to break all the rules just because they can do what they want.

Well, if Leigh do that, they deserved to be punished. And they should deal with it.

It's quite entertaining to see how much fans now hate Leigh and how seriously they take things like this. It's only a game after all.

Get over it.

What an idiot Beaumont is. It's no wonder RL never expands beyond its heartlands with backward, small-time, small-town, batsh|t owners like him.

what, apart from earn promotion on the pitch?

yep that certainly worked didn't it

what about competing with SL clubs on a regular basis? nope didn't do that either.

what people did learn to deal with was the laughable cockiness from some Leigh fans who got a little bit too giddy about beating the powers of Hunslet, Workington and Batley.
