Twitter Talk: Fans react to the Million Pound Game
Catalans Dragons sealed their Super League status for 2018 following a 26-10 victory over Leigh Centurions at the Leigh Sports Village on Saturday afternoon.
Matty Dawson put Leigh 6-0 up before Iain Thornley pulled one back for the French side. The Centurions narrowly led 6-4 at the break.
James Clare put Leigh 10-4 in front shortly after the restart but the Dragons then hit top form and scored 22 unanswered points through Lewis Tierney, Luke Walsh and Fouad Yaha to win 26-10 in the Million Pound Game.
Catalans will remain in the top-flight next season while Leigh will play in the Kingstone Press Championship following relegation.
Here’s how you reacted to Catalans avoiding the drop and Leigh being relegated:
Thoughts on the #MillionPoundGame Leigh were their own worst enemies, Catalan played sensible rugby, Horo looks like he could be a good buy.

#MillionPoundGame Should we bin off Grand Finals and Challenge Cup Finals in case it hurts the feelings of the losers?

It’s time for the @TheRFL to listen to the players, clubs & supporters, the concept of the #MillionPoundGame isn’t popular & doesn’t work?

Got to feel for @LeighCenturions, in my opinion if urbottom after 23 rounds u deserve relegation, not after just 8 games #millionpoundgame

When you have players, coaches and owners all saying that they hate the concept that tells you all you need to know! #MillionPoundGame
