Why are we trying to unpick this story so much with talk of sackings? Jake wanted to travel to Oz to follow his dream, why should we stop him?

I think it speaks volumes of the club to allow him to do this. He's asked to do this and the club have respected his decision to do so. Jake has gone about this the right way and so have the club.

Jukes is right. We need players giving 100% week in week out - this doesn't mean he's been sacked! Jake clearly has his mind on his new life in Oz and full time rugby may not be for him.

Yes we have loan players in at the club, who are giving their all. I didn't see Fash, Evans, Burns, Drinkwater take a backwards step at the weekend?

We have Higham and Hock to return after this week, plus Dixon in the wings. Spencer can be recalled if we need him.

The club and player as happy, so I wish him all the luck in Oz, and thanks for your years of service.

If Emmitt doesn't go now he won't get to play for a feeder club this year therefore lessening his chance to try to impress nrl clubs to give him a chance for next season,so Jake has gone about it right and fair play to the club for releasing to give him a fair shot at it.If Jake stayed till the end of our season he would have lost the chance to put himself in the shop window in Australia so it's logical he wants to go straight away,good luck to the lad I say and I wish fans would stop picking holes into every decision the club makes because deep down none of us knows what goes on behind the scenes

Unfortunately people will pick holes in news coming out of the club because the club have made it very difficult to take anything at face value.

Penky's knee, Rangi's hip, riddy's groin and the fact that platt is now lying somewhere under a carpet does make you wonder what it is that's being held back.

At the end of the day why does any of this matter. I think some people and I don'the mean opposition fans secretly want the club to fail so they can come on here and shout loudly 'I told you so'.

Despite this that and the other we are still top, unbeaten in 16 league games so IMO the club is doing more things right than wrong. Let's get on with supporting our club and forget about what/who has gone. The past is the past.

It's not about wanting the club to fail at all. It's frustration at the club shooting itself in the foot after doing so much right.

It's only little tweaks to communication that's needed

I don't care what the club tells or doesn't tell anyone, people believe what they want to believe and are naturally drawn to gossip and rumour anyway.

So long as we have a full squad and keep getting results then the club can continue as it is doing, right or wrong, information, or lack thereof is not a sign of disrespect to the fans.

The town is full of very bitter people who never go into their pockets to assist the club, for a few years they were very quiet but they had opportunities to rise like Lazarus this year and they took them. Hope the true fans, who dig deep and truly support our great club learn how to tell them to luvv off politely and not let them spoil their pleasure during the ride.

Really cant wait for the 8's

Let's not forget Sam Barlows bad back and Bobs knee op....

Ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf....

Still if it's an official statement from the club it must be true.

That said we're not the only club putting out falsehoods half truths and lies. Just look at the leeds statement on hardaker and wigan on Bateman.

Easy there - you can't make any statements that resemble a criticism of the club on this public forum. You'll be outed as a hater of everything to do with Leigh. Shame on you!

and long may we protect the welfare of players and interests of the club, who wants to know the details and why?

Penky when he was going through a legal process I understand. Rangi when he was in rehab - absolutely. But to print Emmitt's release in the player stats before even releasing a statement - weeks after he'd left - is poor whichever way you dress it up. How was that looking after the players welfare or the clubs interests?
