Well we are doing better than my expectations last November - and that’s pretty much down to him don’t you think

Expect we’ll have 2 guys on the wing tomorrow- so alls good

I don’t know if it is down to him! Yes the bills are being paid, no noise on admin. So presume he still has some financial input..

Then again if you’re selling something it’s alway more viable to keep it that way.

Derek , must have his reasons for sponsoring this Cup comp, whatever they are.He is still very much involved with the running of the Club,I’ve heard a few positive things mentioned, not surprising really ,we are in a great position at the moment I feel if we beat Fax and Bradford in our next 2 home games we can easily get 3rd spot in the Championship.

This Comp is very tight at the moment, my concern is will we see Ryan B back in a Leigh shirt this season.?My prediction is Yes we need his cut and thrust in the team.
Sunday was a relatively easy win,Worky didn’t offer much to worry us , but Fax and Bradford will be different,hopefully with Riddy fit and get Ryan back we can challenge for that top 3 spot.

I don't blame DB are all and he has his wife getting the full accolades. This season is consolidation only

How do you view it as being consolidation only? Toronto get promoted, SL club gets relegated with parachute payment.
Whats the point in consolidating?

Leave it another season and Ottawa will be the next Toronto. Will that be a season for consolidating also? Just pumping money into a team isn't an answer as proven. Investment must come in the form of youth and structure to support the club. DB is very much against a reserve/A side as he stated.

IMO that was a wrong message to send out. In fact quite ignorant.

Derek is not against reserves it's just pointless expense if there's no one to play,the club had a very good reserves but half the time they were winning by 50 or the games were being called off and lads were getting fed up of training with no proper game at the end of the week so half the lads were leaving at the end of the season even before db made the decision to stop the reserves
