We were just fortunate enough to be in the position to benefit from the RFL applying their own rules.

I'm glad too.

We have not ' avoided ' the drop , we ' dropped ' , but unfortunatley because of another clubs financial problems we have been placed into the Championship for the 2010 season

So you bounced then

Something like that yes

Although I do not agree with how just this is, I think it's a good move as the franchise system will only work if their is real competition for places in super league, clubs will not feel the need to develop in some areas if there are not many other teams knocking on the door.

Another Wigan based club looked after by the RFL.

Nothing to do with us , we are just doing what the RFL tell us to do , as usual

Filed and stored for future use

Could this be proof that had we been relegated the RFL would of found some way to keep us up?

No , unless an existing other SL club at that time had imploded financially , which is the case for us

Anyone who does not think this is a good thing must be losing it.

Leigh were unjustly relegated in the name of expansionism ie Toulouse and how fitting it is that the unsustainablity of another expansion team has given them the chance to return to their rightful place.
