The only thing Rowley hasn't tapped up yet is the turf

An ever increasing Leigh clique at Toronto. They have all been good players for us, but most of them do share one other characteristic (as well as being ex Leythers) - they failed to get us promoted in 2015!

Did any of these ex Leigh players now at Toronto turn down a contract at Leigh or where they free agents after being unwanted and released by our club?

I reckon, Patterson, Hoppy and Higgy weren't offered new contracts.

Well, I can think of one, who asked to be released to pursue a career in Australia - and ended up at Toronto! Some were released after having been found to have signed for Toronto part way through the season - and others did the honourable thing and played their hearts out for Leigh, before leaving to sign for Toronto at the end of the season. The latest ones have only left after their Leigh contracts expired, or they were told they weren't wanted.

All in all, a pretty mixed bag.

The Club didn't release them,the RFL contractual obligations did..Did they (the players) turn down new contracts on the table? Is open to debate.

Either way there was turmoil in camp at some point,and it is what it is.. Good luck to the lads who have found future employment,but the club comes first.

Indeedy, good luck to one and all, thanks for the memories and all that.

New regime/structure/culture at the club which all seems to bode well for the future short/medium/long term
