Deck boy and Redwine man, really, that is a bit condescending, I would dearly love to hear your story of how you amassed your millions?
Yep and big fish gobble up little un's, you see this falls straight into my thinking, Leigh now instead of just purchasing a team that could win the Championship next season go out and get a squad whereby most of the players can make the transition to SL, i.e. buck the trend of waiting until the GF seeing if you are successful and then start shopping in a store that has all but sold out and the shelves are bare with the exception of the mostly returned goods that did not function as expected so marked down in price for a quick sale.
There are lessons to learned by observing what happened at Toronto, anybody with any RL nounce about them (sadly Noble and McDermott do not come into that category) knew that the Toronto team would struggle in SL it simply in it's make up did not have enough of the quality that could make the transition to SL hence why they would fail, I fully expected them to struggle and I consider that 0 from 6 would have had a much longer tail of dissapointment.
So c'mon Leigh attract the right personnel give them a 2 year contract - nobody of any note is going to accept less and let's take it from there.
