If I was a betting man, I would have said that Leigh team would get in top 2, so I can see why Derek put all his eggs in one basket.

How Paul Rowley still gets praise on here is beyond me, he ditched the club, did f**k all in the qualifiers and was generally an arrogant toss pot.

Neil Jukes was the real star but lost the players, imagine if Derek sacked him one game earlier we would be 2nd, but that's sport.

So there going to change the structure in the close season, giving everyone even less chance to prepare

So who is gonna make the changes.Who is in charge of the game RFL or SL.Have sl already spoke to Sky, very likely

SL want to run it.They are talking "Proactive Strategic Expansion". So what is that.The original inception of SL sky wanted 10 teams.That is still the case. Framing the future comes back to the dance.

SL would "look favourably" on requests for expansion say into Manchester a club being formed out of a combination of Swinton Rochdale and Oldham.SL would lose patience with teams who have failed to deliver on stadiums so Cas Wakey.Would they the be forced to chuck in with Fev and have the one stadium /club.
SL not in favour of Toronto.Not strategic.London probably a must a disgrace RFL abandoned the development officers.

So what about Leyth.Thanks to Derek for having a go.We had the best chance out on the pitch at the end of the day.Home to KR.£500K in the bin as a first time advantage.We blew it.A collective failure.

Whats left of the business will likely come out after Dereks next statement.The bean counters will have the final say.The dust will settle see where we are locally with a view anyone will step forward to have a go then nationally with how the future of the game
will stack up.Is Leigh part of the SL plan,may be as part of Salford/Widnes who else is left this side of the hill.

I will tell you how he has failed, even under him the team are a complete shambles in defence, going into our last 3 fixtures we needed to vastly improve our points difference, even the bottom two clubs scored scored nearly 60 points against us, and even in other games under his tenure we were winning comfortably we let the opposition back in to pile points on the board, I wonder what you would be saying if we had failed to get into the 4 on points difference?

So are you backing sir dirk on him now leaving us in the stone age as predicted he would ? . Think its obvious now why rowley left isnt it dirks a mutton dagger
