Sheffield 34 Donny 42. Sheffielf give up a 28-12 lead at half time! Back to 4th in league.

Unfortunately if you don't finish in the Top 2 at the end of this season , its Good night Irene , regarding prize money .

Indeed it is Charlie. To be honest having watched you boys I think we are chasing one remaining spot now with Fev/Donny/Sheff and maybe Dewsbury. At least we all have something to play for this season and beyond!

I take nowt for granted , never count my chickens till Halifaxjohn sings

, we are only early days in our League and most have still to play each other , as I keep saying our next 6 matches will shape our season , after that I will start looking at the League , my point is , how many matches can anybody afford to lose and still finish in the Top 2 ?I reckon 4 .

It certainly seems to be a crazy set up with teams fighting for the top 2 this season so they can effectively be the bottom 2 in the middle 8 with little chance of competing with the 4 SL clubs(and maybe bottom 2 this season) when the split happens next season.



The RFL will change the ins and outs after a few seasons when they realize teams from the Championship have little chance of bridging the gap and Sky start to put pressure on them for that to happen to up the excitement.

How dare you Charlie, it's the fat lady, not the fat boy.

And anyway Charlie since I joined Faxfit when I turn sideways no one can see me.

Incidentally Faxfit do a boxfit, but then again your team are good at that already.

You don't play two halves it's 15 rounds.

Nothing could make me happier.

Is it the top 2 at the end of the regular season or the top 2 after the play offs, effectively the 2 teams competing in the grand final?

Its league position

So you can win GF and if you finished 3rd or lower end up in the lower tier. Once again the RFL can decide which is the most important the GF or league.

Another cunning plan from the professor of cunning at cunning university.

Sums it up perfectly. It's a joke and an insulting one at that. Give the peasants a glimmer of hope but in reality almost no hope at all. :O

I think everyone agrees that MONEY makes the world of Rugby go around

and if you finish in the Top 2 this season your Reward is £500,000 and £450,000 respectively , compared to £200,000 if you finish 3rd and reducing drastically for the lower you finish , meaning it is essential to finish in the Top 2 to compete with the likes of London and Bradford who are both Favorites for the drop .





It has already been stated that if Leigh finish in the Top 2 this season most if not ALL of our Squad next season will be full time players , and we will have the cash to attract better standard of players , whereas finishing outside the Top 2 is virtually "Good Night Irene ",for the other clubs , I though you Faxers would know this , cmon Halifaxjohn educate your fellow Faxers .As im sure YOU know .

Well done John with your Faxfit



good to see your healthy eating , myself I try to , im teetotal , and eat a lot of fruit , especially Pineapple , im starting to grow my own veg soon so I am trying .



As for the Boxfit , you may not know this but Leighs Jamie Acton was a Cage Fighter at one time .

Next year is about money and the squad you can afford, having a £300k more gift will help, to get into the top 4 and then the top 5 mid eight as 5th gives you a promotion play off

At Leigh we have already stated we will be full time 2015 and full cap if in top two, and have signed a number of the squad to FT contracts 2015/6 already

My vision of the next few years is that 16 or more if Toulouse are in, clubs will be operating in a FT environment by 2017. The 2015 mid eights is unlikely to see a second tier promoted unless we have implosion in top tier but you will have a sniff with four home games and a 4/5 play off game, the win is a full year FT and being involved in the play offs will harden you for 2016 when I do believe a club with the backer will come through

2018 onwards I see two tens with £1m funding in tier two and at long last a closing of the gap, the future is what you make of it, talk the system up and the fans will return
