Have you got a source?
Dixon is not really a problem, there's plenty of decent 2nd rowers out their, but Kay will be hard to replace!

Rugby Leaguer......also connects Rowley, Brian Noble and Steve Ferrers to Toronto also.
Toronto...the stupidest idea BRITISH Rugby League has ever had. There is the prospect in 2 or 3 years of at least 25% of SL clubs not being British |

A marketing plan to get the teams over there,not the fans.A couple years promoting Canada RL and then jump ship.

Toronto is good for RL if we want to feast at the top table we need to support our club not worry about the rest, if they have been illegally approaching players then it's not a great place to start

Its simple if they or any other player does not want to play for leigh, they can leave. Would be surprised if they did leave.

Liam Marshall at Swinton looks a great prospect - is he still on Wigan's books?

From what I have read this "so-called" Canadian team is nothing to do with the official RL set-up in Canada: if they are using entirely non-Canadian players I fail to see how this can benefit the game at all. One thing it will do is inflate wages below Super League level meaning even fewer teams will be able to compete. What does this say to the expansion teams who have been introduced in recent seasons?

They're a real team. Sure one of our Canadian Leythers on here was involved with them & I remember the club sending them some old kits when they were just getting going, hence the familiar logo.
Thought with the greatest half back ever to play Rugby League (in his own mind) leaving we'd be done with silly rumours.
I do think it's a mad idea to put a Canadian team into the British system. Despite this weekend's result I still think it's mad to have Toulouse in a league were teams can't afford to play each other home and away (the French league should move to summer & be involved with the League 1 promotion playoffs). Still can't deny there's an appetite for RL in Canada they do seem to get good attendances for internationals. Think we should consider having Canada & USA national teams in the European international Championships. Also perhaps a small end of season transatlantic cup competition between Canadian, American, French & League 1 clubs, could be something like:
A: GB 1st V Fr 2nd
B: Fr 1st V GB 2nd
C: Ca 1st V US 2nd
D: US 1st V Ca 2nd
Semi 1: A V D
Semi 2: B V C
With the semis & the final in Canada or the US. That'd promote the game over there & in France while giving them someone else to play without the huge financial burden of trying to incorporate them into a league of teams just about surviving on a shoestring budget.
