Well, Sky Bet has their odds up for next year's Championship Grand Final Winners

Toronto - 6/4
Widnes - 5/2
Toulouse - 6/1
Bradford - 8/1
Featherstone - 12/1
Halifax - 16/1
York - 20/1
Leigh - 25/1
Barrow - 100/1
Batley - 100/1
Dewsbury - 100/1
Sheffield - 100/1
Rochdale - 250/1
Swinton - 250/1

I'd say those are good odds for a team that's just been promoted. Especially when you consider it was via the play-offs and the champions of the division we left are at 25/1

Maybe you meant one non injury hit season?

If Golding goes, I'd definitely keep Sutcliffe, we need cover at full back.

Kane Linnett turned down an offer from London & a 2 year deal contract from Leeds Rhinos .

Funny how they remove Broughy & Dickinson but leave Hinchliffe & Mamo? hahaha

We have lost Tomkins, who was a massive attacking threat, organiser and kicker. Hardaker is a different player. With losing Tomkins it puts more pressure on the halves. I'm not happy with us saying it went OK last year. We aren't covered by a creative organising fullback that can negate the lack of threat in the halves any more. Hardaker has his many positives when he's on form, but he's a different player entirely.

Why not just drink in the city centre and get a taxi to the stadium and walk back? The city centre has some great pubs.

Im shocked at how suddenly Brown has become the world's worst rugby player on here.

Heavens sake he was the England hb last season. In comparison to fbook, I thought posters on here had more measured opinions.

Is it just me, or is the quality of players joining SL from abroad much higher this year? Players that are at, or before their peak, players with plenty NRL experience, and players that could still get a gig in the NRL.

And what's the reason for this? I thought that these days were over once the NRL got their new TV deal and increased cap.

Where does the club feel we need to strengthen

Mr Beaumont told the court “I bought the number plate ‘TOP 4’ with the best intentions to celebrate in advance our likely success in the championship - however after we failed and only finished sixth I felt people were beginning to point at the number plate and gesticulate - making me a figure of fun. Many of them used their hands to signify the very least we should have finished was second. People who know me will confirm I don’t like being centre of attention and would find this difficult to handle. Читать дальше...

As far as the shirts are concerned they are OK IMO i would have preferred a predominantly primrose and a proper shade or white. As others have said quite happy with the way the sponsors have been dealt with

Cracking debate this guys.

I think a lot of it goes back to the promotion and relegation thing - Wakefield last year for example were fighting for £75k just for finishing fifth. It makes it very difficult for coaches to look at the long term when picking their team and will almost always go for a seasoned player who will guarantee you a 7/10 performance, rather than a young player who might give you an 8 but also a 3....

With regard to Rocky his career is very much in his own hands. Читать дальше...

That’s how I understand it as well Charlie, just a strong rumour at this time, we’ll just have to wait and see.

What I will say is that I very much doubt he will be staying at Leigh and that I don’t see many SL clubs queueing up for his services.

Rowley was a thoroughly unpleasant character as were his teams. I like Brian Mac and thought his interviews were great. Foolish questions got what they deserved. Honest guy. Obviously something went wrong at Leeds but Toronto looks like a good opportunity for both parties.
