Its John Duffy, slightly Harsh imo.
No surprise let’s be fair Leigh haven’t put together a 20 minute performance this season let alone a full game
Ran us close twice, I don't know what they expect a coach to do with their squad, it wouldn't shock me if they didn't win a game all season to be honest.

Ok 2 games that they where ok till half time then lost easily.
Now I don’t know Duffy nor his exploits but to me he’s a good solid championship coach the step up was always going to be a big one,as for the squad well again it’s a championship squad isn’t it and the results are showing that.
It’s a shame but they knew that when the (foolishly in my opinion)went after the vacant place it was a huge poison chalice and one that will bite them with relegation,as for Duffy I think he will bounce back not to damaged from this I hope

They were in a losing position from the off! It’s crazy they don’t get as much funding as the rest of the league & only introduced to SL late.
I feel sorry for any championship club that comes up as the step up in the intensity of games can be too much in one season.
That’s why I was always in favour of the 3 year licensing agreement.
And if they, the RFL, had maintained this & the rules regarding the grounds/stadiums, Castleford & Wakefield would been long gone! Pity that

I think you’re right Josie a 3 year licensing arrangement needs to happen quickly,I’ve always defended promotion/relegation in RL but to me it’s clear and the pandemic has hastened it I feel,clubs need that time to sort themselves out rather than the usual rush to sign the dog botherer’s,has been and never will be from down under

Henderson is like Marshall well thought of but untested at this level it’s not a job I’d go looking for that’s for sure
