Thanks to everyone for the best wishes, I suspect that next week will be a step too far with London winning there last year. Still we’ll go in hope of a surprise.

Be proud of what you have achieved and give it a go.

We are all gunning for you.
Hope you win but if you lose then we get back to leisurely Sunday afternoon rugby vs Fev (both home and away) including a couple of beers in the local before the game.
Most importantly our part time players would get back to reasonable expectations from their bodies.

Win or lose next week i’m still hoping to meet up with my Leigh mates at a couple of games next year

Nice one Dave.....good luck next week Pal !!

Well done Fev. The pressure is all on Toronto now so who knows how they will respond if they can get at them the first 20 mins.
Best of luck to them and all their fans.

Fev have done fantastic, and good luck to em. But we need Toronto out of the way, their finances are no good in the cham, they need to be in SL so that RL can decide if it can become a transatlantic league

Fantastic time here in Toulouse. But shine taken off our victory a little by knowing we can’t watch them in the final. Most of us sat around today gutted we can’t go. I went to Toronto last year, we had plenty of time to organise, save and get time off work for it. Fans now looking at between £700 and £1000 each for 2 nights. It’s just not doable for a family in one week. Not just the cost but work and school.

If the final had been in uk how many of those apparent 9k Toronto fans would have been bothered that they couldn’t make it.

They signed ferres and Ferguson also I believe they going have one hell of a strong side this season

Only rumoured to have signed those 2.......

Thaz got that wrong on fergy owd lad....
Not saying it might come off like

Ferres signed Ferguson was in talks also so if they not agreed a deal then that’s why he not signed Even so ferres is a great addition to the squad already being put together I will be honest Fev looking strong upto now I don’t think they finished yet either

Ferres is over the line.
Fergy not so...yet.

Can't say I'm not disappointed.... but i reckon fergy will sign for leigh

Another Scot? At this rate we'll be playing in kilts.





Here we are in training......

I was getting all twitchy.... i thought we might lose him..... to leigh....
He's one of our own...


I guess dan the man needs another car share

I wish John Duffy had been on the coaching staff of Australia or Tonga. Are we getting the best players available or are we getting all of JD's mates? I'm not saying they are poor players, on the contrary, but has JD got tartan goggles on. Just an observation about our recruitment.

Hope your right pal I rate Ferguson

Was right about Ferguson

Not often I’m wrong my friend

JD is going for a squad that he knows and trusts. The players know how he works and he knows how to get the best out of these players. The beauty of building a squad like this is that they will gel quickly and hit the ground running. Remember when we built a squad in 2017? On paper they would compete in Super League never mind get us back into SL. However, hardly any of them had ever played together and/or been coached by the coaching team. We all know what happened next! JD has built the nucleus of a solid squad that will get enhanced in the next few weeks with 3 or 4 quality signings that will make the difference in this league. Have patience, have faith, the Leythers are going to be the team to beat!

I'm quite sure we will have a decent team on the field. I'm sure there will be a big name or two yet to be announced.
Hope you're right about the Scottish connection. We'll probably sign Nicola Sturgeon next. :O)

Be ok for Championship. Thought the deal was promotion when Toronto had left the league.

DB! Toronto have left the league...
