Yes Budge,but DB proved them all wrong. Possibly the outcome of Mr morals was the motivation for DB.

And still is..

No. I'd suggest the majority of "Leythers" were disappointed for about a week after Rowley quit and then let it go. And they now watch Toronto with great interest in the knowledge that Rowley's Leigh team's produced the most attractive rugby for decades. The Wolfpack is a very interesting business model and they've just announced a few more signings.

The Wolfpack? Usually all Leythers call them Toronto.. Business model! Would you care to elaborate?

Don't understand all the fuss tbh let em go their way & we go ours. Paul rowley had to leave things wasnt working out

Just let it go.

A marketing company positioned in a great location offering a product called "rugby league", versus rugby league teams based on heritage who do a bit of marketing. The Wolfpack brand is incredibly robust. Everyone in professional rugby league should be watching what "Toronto" do to generate a buzz and ultimately revenue. They may last 3 years or 30 years, either way - keyword that we've all heard about of late = Disruption. They are disrupting rugby league and it's very interesting to watch how they go about it.

Good luck to Toronto but you missed out the boggest driver to their short term success. MONEY. An almost bottomless pit of cold hard cash.

How much has Perez thrown into this exciting venture?

Also if I win the £115,000,000 jackpot tomorrow, I will be straight on the blower to Derek and you will see Leigh RLFC dominate the sport like the world has never seen before.

At my age I will not be requiring £114,999,000 of it and time really is of the essence if you get my drift

Why should anyone in this country get excited about Toronto playing Rugby League? Just like Catalan, they will not bring fans here every other week so the Grounds here are only going to have 'home' supporters present!
We should be looking at strengthening our 'product' in the Heartlands as, this is the only area where Rugby League is going to survive/ flourish!
They have played RU in Canada for decades so the Oval Ball is not something new to them!Will RL rival RU in Canada? don't know and, really don't care!
By having a 'Transplanted' team of mainly UK full time players, in a lower League and, winning every week represents success, I think some people are deluded.
Someone said they didnt know how long it would last, 3 years or, 30 years? well London are still here after 30 years and, still trying after many failed and Bankrupt attemps!
Of course, there is the Novelty for fans of a trip to Canada to see their team play abroad but, how long will that last?
I throughly enjoyed my visit to Catalan in July however, going back there a few weeks later was neither finacially or, practicably viable! How many of our Fans could afford to go there again should we be involved in the Million Pound Game in Perpignon ? The fact our club could be playing for their SL survival without many of our loyals fans there to support them, just underlines the disadvantages of overseas club Rugby!

Surprised it took someone so long to trot out the away fans argument.

But yeh I totally agree with the rest, scrap huge metropolitan cities like Toulouse, London & Toronto and let's wait for Barrow, Dewsbury, Keighley & Whitehaven to take RL to the next level.

They have money,no ground and the future as with all is bleak. But they all keep ticking over.Leigh to SL investment,KR back to SL investment after a loss.Toronto to league 1 investment. Theres only one investment that could possibly see a return.Are you waiting for the others to follow suit?

Do you have fairies at the bottom of your garden.
