He got soundly out coached by Craig Lingard in the semi final so I don’t think there was anywhere to go other than to resign.
I suspect with the amount of money spent on the player budget at Fev, the minimum requirement was to reach the Grand Final and he failed to do that.
In the end I reckon it’s academic because I can’t see anyone beating Leigh in the final.
They’ve romped the completion this year, putting 170+ points in two games against fellow play off team York and they’ve had Featherstone number all season.
Really pleased for Lingard, he’s worked miracles at Batley on a minuscule budget compared to the likes of Leigh, Featherstone and York.
