I said it's a nice city, in fact it it's a lovely city. When I've been there, (have numerous times, including stopping for a month once), I felt it was the sort of city that would be better to live in than visit as a tourist. My point was, these players wont really be moving to Toronto though, they'll still spend more time in Britain than Toronto, spending every second month during the league season over there. First few trips will be great for them, but as the season goes on, the idea of keep leaving home for four weeks will start to become a drag for some of the staff.

To make matters worse, the time in Britain will be in Yorkshire!

Good of you to get a dig in about leigh though...

I don't think it's entirely coincidental that the Toronto Wolfpack came into existence the very week the rules allow you to approach players out of contract at the end of the season. Hence Mr Morals & Integrity's instance that he couldn't have done anything wrong as he wasn't coach (at the time) of a team that didn't exist (yet).

I can imagine what could have happened. Paul approaches Derek and says "I've had this fantastic offer I really want to take up, I'm going to be head coach of Toronto." & Derek (quite understandably) gets very angry and says "Can you [much profanity] desert us to go to a [bad language] League 1 club a [wash your mouth out with soap] fortnight before the biggest & most important season in Leigh's recent history!" Quite possibly said something he shouldn't too. Paul's probably then gone off in a huff, imagining himself to be the victim after his (deserved) telling off, at the fact the club hasn't given him full blessing to walk out when we need him most.

In the end I think Jukes is doing a better job anyway. Seems to have a much better understanding of squad rotation & giving players time to fully recover from injury for when you need them most.

:D So perhaps the real issue is not Toronto at all, it's the fact that players won't be living at home. No intent to have a pop at my home town, I'm proud to be a leyther and always will be. But I am aware of its limitations! :wink:

Disappointing Ridy and Liam would prefer to step down a level than have a crack at SL.
Less than impressed with PR and his implications about behaviour of peopke at the club.
Happy for anyone to pursue their career but do it right.

I notice that Noble ,"Wants to set the highest possible standards", he has failed straight away by having Rowley on board.

The thing I noticed most of all was that he said he hoped Bradford would get promoted to SL ....

Seems he will sing the tune of the piper who pays the highest $$$/ £££.

A shame he couldn't say that he hoped BOTH or &/or Bradford & Leigh could get promoted.
He made much of being a Leigh lad & Leigh Mad when he was coach & AFAIK he still lives in Atherton so a little nod to the fans that supported you as player & coach wouldn't have done any harm Paul.

Atherton?I thought Paul had a house in Worsley, and Ryan Giggs was his next door neighbour.
