| You would think if the Canadians go up they will bring in a smarter coach to manage the high profile players they will know doubt bring in. Rowley has just about done his job

| Rowley had done a cracking job.
The players he's had to work with aren't exactly a special talented bunch.

The teams he’s had to play against haven’t been exactly talented either if Toronto do get in SL I don’t think Rowley will last very long

| Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"You really should drop the fans business it is old boring and incorrect.
Fans are only important for one thing making a ground look full so it gives some TV impact when the cameras are there.
If a club has 10 fans but a £5 million pound deal for sponsorship and they let everyone in for nothing that it is 10 tomes better than a club having a £100k sponsorship deal and 3000 fans for 11 games.
Do the maths.

Last season when we played at home to St.Helens, they brought around 3000 supporters, so approx £50,000 into Leigh's coffers
This season at home to Toronto, they brought zero supporters, so approx £0.00p into Leigh's coffers.
You do the maths....

| Budgy sadly even with all the money Leigh have from full grounds they are likely to follow the Bulls into the championship 1. Its about balance not just crowds, just let it go we've heard the message

Knowing that there would be few away fans, what did Leigh do to make the shortfall up and full that spare capacity by attracting locals who wouldn't otherwise have attended? Locals who would be worth far more to the club in the long term than any number of supporters from Toronto, St Helens or any other town or city?
That's the maths that matters.

| Fill your own grounds and sort your own shortfalls out. It's not down to away fans to make you financially viable.

'" Nothing and now they can only name 16 players for their final game and are being liquidated at the end of the season. Reap what you sow.
Meanwhile Toronto have trebled Leigh's average attendance with barely any away fans at all for any of their matches.

| Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"
Sone truth in that the games has lost its sparkle.
Too much 5 drives and a kick. The only strategies teams have for winning games is. a/. Slow the game down,
B / milk penalties by throwing yourself to the ground rolling around and trying to con the ref and then getting another set.
The games needs to do something radical to make it faster and more interesting the way it did when it went from 15 to 13 players, 4 for a try and 1 for a DG or get rid of ridiculous scrums.
Maybe time to go to 12 a side to allow for more attacking plays ?'"
I watch the NRL and the pace is frighting compared to SL. Roosters vs Souths was played at a rapid pace.
Nothing radical needs to be done. The ruck on SL needs to be cleaned up first and foremost.

| It's not all about cash, I'm old school. It's great having away fans at grounds, bit of banter etc. Creates an atmosphere.

So it's OK for certain expansion lovers to be obsessed with some M62 clubs. Message heard 'loud & clear' ....xx
