I'm starting to think that the reality of this Wigan and Leigh thing is that there isn't room for both in SL.
With the likes of Toronto coming on board and a possible new team in the South of France, we're starting to glimpse a potential wider-spread future. On top of that, the new-look SL will surely try to focus on quality rather than fudge things the way the RFL did with the franchise system - to create viable clubs with good cash-flow, good player development and potential big support. Leigh, as we know them, don't really tick any of those boxes.
From a Wigan perpective, we've already got our derby game in Saints. Can't see what Leigh would add to the party, other than be a useful lower league club.
