This is true, under Harrison we would already have about 36 points and be in with a shot of making a final. icon_wink.gif

So after the Weekends results and the fact you lot are now back in the box seat to make the £1m game do you really think you should destabilise things by dropping the coach, get real. I bet Leigh would love to be in your position, and apparently they have the best team and coach in the World.

As for losing the dressing room, how the hell would any of us know. Also what exactly does that phrase mean or is it just another bandwagon to jump on.

Keep Calm and look forward to the £1m lottery.

Be fair. Nobody wants him out until 15 minutes before the KO of the 4th v 5th game, should we qualify. That's absolutely what people are suggesting.

Well if thats what you're suggesting then you really do have rocks in your head.

Where would Leeds be now if they had listened to the super coach fans, or Man Unt with Ferguson etc.

You need stability throughout your club, not more change.

Fans love their clubs, and pay hard earned cash to support them. It doesn't mean they have a Zen like understanding of what good coaching is or ever will be. Wins lots of trophies = Great Coach, just look at Tony Smith. Oh yes, the Warrington fans want him out now.

I'm not saying JL is the best coach ever, just that he's had a year with a team recruited by someone else and you are still in with a shout of gaining promotion.

Do what it says on the tin and SUPPORT your club.

Most fans questioned whether Jimmy was the man from the outset.

In my humble opinion, it's the coaches job to train, educate and motivate the team to continually get the best out of the players. I can count on one hand how many times this season I've walked away from the game thinking, "yeah they played well". And they did play well, very well in fact, which is way it's so frustrating. We've all seen what this group of players are capable of but why can't Jimmy get them to reproduce it more often?

I expect Jimmy to be there again next season regardless of the outcome of this season. Hopefully he'll have better luck with injuries to key men so that he won't have those tricky selection dilemmas.

It absolutely is. Nobody was thinking about next season at all. All change for the last game or no change at all.

Unfortunately our players are very good at talking about a good performance, actually doing it is another thing. Leigh will be much improved on Sat in what will be their final home game so if we are going to get a result we will have to improve significantly.

No we won't, we are for 80% of the time already a ten times better team than played at KR and that was a game that was not on our win-list (whatever anybody says) so the result can be disregarded. Banker loss. I'd say if we play at only 75% of how we played against Salford then that should be good enough to do Leigh.

Also, WHY will Leigh "be much improved"? I mean, it's one possibility, of course, but why be so certain everyone we come up against is bound to be on top of their game? That's the sort of defeatist mindset that we don't want the players to have. For mine, playing SL clubs is one thing, but there is no reason why we shouldn't win every game against Championship clubs, even Leigh have not proved quite the formidable force suspected, we have had some very tight games against them, and if only we can field Gaskell then we should go there with confidence. Even if we can't, Leigh are no Salford, and rather than being confident, IMHO will now be shiiting their pants after their Halifax spanking. I'd say it is much more likely that they will be edgy and nervous as hell, and vulnerable to being beat. As long as we roar out and do an early job on them. Which, given our unpredictability, is a big "if".

AOB's stats for games against Widnes and HKR add up to 85 tackles and 58 metres.

Surely, some combo of Robbie, Ferres, Diskin, Harrison has to say this is taking all the kid's threat away. We might as well go find Tony Fisher if we're simply going to allow prop forwards to run at him.

From what I have heard reported from the Fax game, Leigh were a shadow of the team that finished top. Personally I can't see them playing that poorly again, at home in front of their own specs. I expect they'll be fired up and want to finish with a win at home. Being top of their game are your words but I'd be extremely surprised if they play so poorly again this weekend. We look like a side lacking a bit of belief so if Leigh get off to a flyer we might be in trouble.
