It's been suggested elsewhere to play it in a neutral venue somewhere between Australia and the UK and chase the corporate dollar

Another benefit of letting under 18's free is that it might encourage them to play the game if they haven't before

Nothing wrong in that

Great idea

I would suggest that there are some union players in the area that could become half decent Rugby League players at League 1 level, and progress from there.

I'm hoping that Josh Addo-Carr being such a great athlete and Rugby League player can inspire even more kids from indigenous backgrounds in Australia to play our sport

How many of the Scottish squad were born and raised in Scotland? How many of the Scottish squad have played for a Scottish Rugby League club? I think ALL TEAMS at the NEXT world cup should have a minimum of 5 players born in the country they are playing for and a minimum of 5 playing in there country's competition.

Possibly a golden opportunity missed all them years ago

It was mentioned earlier that it's all about Derek getting Leigh RLFC column inches and its worked, as we are now on page 34 of the debate

You can't keep a good man down, and despite his detractors he's a good man

Derek will have a plan B and C i suspect

In less than a year we will find out if the rebranding has a been a success or otherwise, but like a phoenix rising from the ashes Derek will keep coming back

I must admit i like the sound of both of them, but for now its the Leigh Leopards

Rarely i would say. You don't have all the money he has by getting things wrong

Derek going for a rebrand and i can't see a problem. Better to have tried and failed and never tried at all. Derek is a successful business man so he doesn't get much wrong and only time will tell on this, but I'm sure he will have something else up his sleeve if its not a success

I think Ireland have a great chance of beating Lebanon, which obviously would see them through to the next round. It will be a cracker

Time will tell, but short termism seldom works

Never forget the saying, Short term gain long term pain. That's what you club did with the overseas signings. It will certainly be interesting to see what British players you sign and the quality of them

No players are irreplaceable, but remember you squad was loaded with overseas players. You won't have that luxury in Super League

If Dexy doesn't replace the players he has had to let go with better players Leigh will struggle

That is the general feeling among Rugby League fans and even some Leigh fans Dexy gambled everything on getting promotion with all the imports without thinking how he can get Leigh to stay up without the imports

It can't be ignored that the NRL and Super League grand finals were won by teams who put a lot into junior development. Certain other clubs need to take note of this

No surprise there and also they have a history of fiddling junior playing numbers to get more tax payers money. Its innate with the them

AJ beating Usyk is unlikely, unless he gets in with a lucky punch. Wilder is a league above Whyte and Whyte wouldn't last 5 rounds against Fury. Usyk would cause Fury Problems in the early rounds with his mobility, but it will be curtains for him once Fury catches up with him
