It isn't a rumour as such.
It was printed in the T and A yesterday that he is poised to make his return to the coaching staff at Leeds Carnegie. I assume as an assistant which I think is better for him as he is kept out of the front line.

I think Glen will get the job. If he doesn't then how and when will he get it. He isn't going to prove himself any more at Dewsbury. Surely he has taken them as far as he can. He is treading water there isn't he? I would think it is now or never for him.

I would be delighted if Matty came back as I have always said it was him and not Smith who did all the work with us before Smith left and had a short spell somewhere else before he moved on - again. Maybe that is why he produces good assistants because they do all the graft while he struts around building his reputation. I will save you guessing if you are wondering. I am not overly keen on Smith. He wouldn't last if things got tough.

Completely O/T but can somebody explain the Canada thing. Rowley is to be manager, Noble director of rugby, based in Tong for away games and Toronto for home games. How will this work? Which CH1 team could afford to travel to Canada? Who could fund a CH1 team that plays in Canada? And should they get promoted (which presumably be the ultimate aim) how many SL teams could fund a trip to Canada? Or have I slipped into some sort of parallel universe where RL is the premier sport in the UK?

Maybe it is like Catalans where the RFL pay for the clubs to fly their players over?

But why would Cas want to replace Daryll with Matty? TT!

[url=http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/may/07/toronto-rugby-league-team-talks-join-england-league-1-canadaThis will explain most of your questions[/url. Or at least try. In terms of funding for travel, the Canadian team and their backers are paying for it. A [url=http://www.thestar.com/sports/2015/10/03/local-group-looks-to-bring-rugby-league-to-toronto.htmlstory from the Toronto Star[/url last year. A [url=http://www.theroar.com.au/2015/11/27/north-americas-rugby-league-revolution/bit of their recent history[/url. Which makes it sound like they've only been doing this since 2010. Some of the people involved were throwing together pre-match exhibitions of RL at full CFL games in the 90s. There is a long standing passion for getting this off the ground over there, and whilst I know of more RL-loving ex-pats in Australia I personally know way more ex-pats in Canada than I do Aus'.

For Canadian internationals, which are frankly at a lower level than that proposed, they get within 80% of capacity for the stadium the Toronto team will be playing in.

It's not as completely pie in the sky as it might initially sound. Interesting experiment at any rate. Even if it fails, RL will still be the first ever transatlantic domestic competition ever.

Your post certainly makes the idea sound slightly better than I thought....

Thanks VBFG

I have never posted on this forum before, in any guise. I just thought I would tell you what I know, and I know matty elliot will be the next bulls boss.

Thanks Peter.

Matty Elliot's win rating is 50% as a coach. And if you take away his successful stint at the Bulls it drops to nearer 44%. You could argue that the success at the Bulls was a blip on his otherwise poor coaching record.

Yeah he didn't do very well in the NRL but to be fair he wasn't at any top clubs.

Should fit in well then....
