Re: Championship Final - Featherstone vs Leigh : Wed Oct 03, 2018 2:15 pm
It's certainly been the craziest of crazy seasons for these two clubs.At the outset, both will have had genuine aspirations for making the 4 and Leigh possibly expecting to have another shot at SL.
Ultimately, the rapid rise up the table by everyone's "favourite" expansion club, Toronto, "stole" one of the coveted top 4 spots, with London taking the other and then the brown stuff started to fly.
It's certainly a sad state of affairs when one or both clubs will struggle to field a 17 man squad and it has to be asked how this could have been avoided this season and then to make damn sure that it cant happen again.
As for the game itself, just how much appetite is there for a tight hard fought final, when both sides are down to (and probably have less than) the bare bones of a squad.
Fev will probably win the game but, there are far more important issues to sort out, both for the sport and the 2 clubs involved.
Lets hope that we get a decent game between 2 very proud RL clubs.
