Or going bankrupt twice whilst in Super League and still keeping the license. That's far worse innit?

True. But I think i remember reading somewhere that the current Super League clubs agreed to remove the criteria concerning administration. Not too sure on that though.

Dennis Betts - "It was embarrassing. We embarrassed ourselves, we embarrassed the club. It was just embarrassing. We decided to put the cue in rack and that's not good enough. I thought we deserved our lead in the first half as we fought hard and survived but then in the second half instead of regrouping and continuing what we had done we thought we just needed to come out and the game would be won.

"We didn't have the ball a lot in the second half - I think we had it eight times, the rest of it we were defending. We didn't get the ball back but the thing is you have to stop the opposition from scoring tries and we didn't do that.

"We were soft and at times it was embarrassing to see so many people on the floor and not making tackles. It was far too easy. We have to do something radical in the next two weeks to come back from that.

"It was an embarrassing way to end a week when everyone's worked hard in the build up."

I'm not sure he could have said anything else without losing total credibility. That 2nd half was completely indefensible. I also think he could have shouldered some more of the blame himself.

Just as an automatic bye bye! It will still count hugely against you.

Yep, about a month before a club actually went into administration, that was lucky wasn't it

We all know our sport is too politically minded, but I do feel you place your frustrations in the wrong place all too often Demon. We're rival clubs, but not enemies per se.

I was just answering the question that had been asked earlier. Nothing insulting other than to the SL organisation perhaps, certainly nothing towards Widnes.

My opinions on anything else are my own and we are all entitled to our opinions. Do I like watching a business....no, do I like watching sport...yes.

Have I enjoyed watching Leigh v Widnes games for the last 3 years......well I think you know the answer to that one, however we could still stuff it up in front of the cameras next week of course. This is Leigh we are talking about despite our start to the season
