No.
Leigh are the new Fev.

Actually, Leigh are the new Leigh, but I take your underlying point.

4 points seperating the top 6? Yeah definitely farcical.

I was more talking about cricket scores been run up but I guess it is a little farcical if you like having two teams in it that would struggle to make the top 3 in the championship.

You really think Bradford wouldn't make the top 3 in championship? They would comfortably finish top. Next year may be different when we lose some players. But if you were to drop the current Bradford squad in the championship now they would comfortably finish top.

And you KNOW that for certain?

How exactly?

If my maths is correct, what you are basically saying is that, at least, you would win every match in the Championship, except one against Leigh, in which you would get a bonus point - as that is what you would need to do to be top by 1 point ( assuming Leigh failed to get a bonus point in the other game). You'd also have to beat Leigh by 12 points in both games to win the division by 6, narrow wins would have you up by 4. So when you say comfortable, do you mean 1, 4 or 6 points?

Bradford are full time. Rest of championship is part time.

Hand on heart, if Leigh won promotion and your coach said, we're staying part time and not recruiting anyone, would you be happy as a fan?

I'm sure next year when London and Bradford are much weaker, Fev, Leigh and Fax are planning to overhaul them by staying part time and keeping their current squads.

Of course I don't know as a fact that Bradford would finish top of the championship if relegated and kept the same squad. But I'd be confident.

I really look forward to all the arrogant Bulls fans and wider SL fans eating some humble pie next year. The Championship is a belting league with some very good teams. Btw, Leigh are supposed to be going Full Time next year.
