It's looking likely we will end up in bottom 4 now so wouldn't it be a good idea to bring a couple of new faces in in the next few weeks to freshen things up and try and make sure we get 4 home games at least.

Quote: mr. chairman "and very worrying times at leigh derek relies on players agents for info and they make a decent living out f it , yes neil has an influence on some signings i'm pretty sure on that does he have total control no i don't think so but he should l know this happens because mick higgins did it with me what happens at the big clubs is the chairman or owner will give the coach a budget and let him get on with it or the coach tellsthe owner who he wants and the owner says yes or no . what i'm saying is this team does not look like neil's team some players yes but not them all'"


Yes , Neil probably wanted Cooper Cronk as first choice 7.

Neil identifies and provides a list of players in each position and labels them A, B and C.

We go for A who then gets offered more money elsewhere, so we move for B, who does not want to play for Leigh as a top 8 club is making an offer simultaneously , so we need move for C who probably does not want to sign for Leigh, but has no other options but does want to remain in or play in SL bottom line, so after a little wheeling and dealing over a few weeks and us being played off, eventually signs on the dotted line. Neil's third choice for the position. ( Neil's not Derek's)

Then we look at the next position and the same process then kicks in for the remaining 12 or so positions.

You seem to be a pretty reliable source of information? I'm happy to accept your explanation icon_wink.gif

Well Mr C, we are in anything other than worrying times, I've watched this mob since I was a kid in 1954 and I can assure you these are not worrying times!
I would advise our fans to embrace our position in Super League and fully enjoy it along with your friends and family.
We've waited a long time to reach this standard and, our facilities and Match day experience are equal to any and, better than most!
We have to remember that we can no longer win every game, (like in the Championship), even the best side Castleford, have lost a couple and they have not been bedevilled by injuries ,yet!!
I personally, have come to really enjoy the LSV experience and visiting Cas and Wakefield this season, has only confirmed my appreciation of the facilities we now enjoy watching our team!!
I'm sure we will come good again before this season ends, until then, enjoy the experience!!

We have injuries ( Plenty) and we will deal with it. 100% agreed with you Kirkhall, but the club is where we want it to be and that is dining at the top table.
