LEIGH CENTURIONS head coach John Duffy is adamant his club are “Super League ready” after winning the fight to replace Toronto Wolfpack in next year’s top flight.

Leigh beat off competition from Toulouse Olympique, London Broncos, Bradford Bulls, Featherstone Rovers and York City Knights to fill the 12th slot left vacant following the rejection of Toronto’s bid to rejoin the competition last month.

Duffy said: “I’ve just stopped crying — I’m so happy for everyone who has put so much work into the criteria document.
