I think they realize that they need better competition to improve quicker. 2016 is a key year for RLWC qualification and it will all come down to 2 games. They need the intensity of weekly matches against more seasoned opposition.
Yes, they could spend $200,000 on going round the schools and getting the grass roots going - that strategy could take a very long time. They seem to be focusing on the national game. It wouldn't be the way it was done in the UK, but you cannot knock what they have achieved...!
On the other hand, there is a lot, lot more to be done - need more coaches, more refs for starters...
There used to be a link-up between Leigh and the Toronto club but not heard anything about it under the new BOM. I think it should be restarted - who knows what gem could be unearthed that could come and play for Leigh in a year or two?
