Twenty three pages ….. and rising quickly of …..."he said,she said"...…. "I've heard from a reliable source" comments that are worthless in the grand scheme of things.

As suggested earlier if this were a murder trial or any form of trial the only thing that would interest the judge would be "THE FACTS"

Does the contract exist ? has it been signed ? has it been broken by either party ? call me simplistic if you like but unless you can firstly produce the contract none of the other questions are relevant.

In this instance SE claims it doesnt exist, IL claimed in front of a TV audience that he had a three year one signed , one of them is obviousley lying.

Legally it would be very easy to prove which one, but my guess is that it will never go that far (and we will never know) as neither side has anything to gain from what would be a costly court case.

A a fan I only hope that this matter can be resolved quickly, the onfield problems are a far more serious issue IMHO.

Edwards to Leeds

Never know what to think about Brian McDermott, but I suspect the fact that he became inept after losing his cadre of star players and on-field leaders said a lot about his role in the victories before then.

Anyway, didn't he work for IL once before, and it didn't end badly?

Strongly suspect we'll never see him at Wigan.

He was London Broncos coach appointed by IL when he owned them.

IL always talks positively about him as well I think, but we probably can't afford to pay him what Toronto are paying him.
