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.

Neil jukes is the real star .... bloody hell hahahaha

He has a point about Rowls though.

About him leaving ? ... if Mr ego didnt stick his conk in team buisnes he'd still be there . Trust me on this he didn't want to leave at all

Well I would say bo££ocks to that, it seems pretty clear he had been tapped up for the Toronto gig

He's now had 2 seasons to spend spend spend and play his style of rugby - the M8s will show if he's learned anything at all or whether he a one trick pony. Personally, especially after Widnes have strengthened, I can't see anyone going up.

He didn't get tapped up , he never wanted to leave

a 14 team SL will ensure toronto go up

Licensing will ensure they won't.

Toronto understand they may not make it this year & it possibly has come to soon tbh , but they'll get in sooner rather than later

Is that what its going to be licensing?

Good for Rowls then.. He'll get another season.
