Quote: charlie caroli "Atomic, you highlight the cost to the Club in replacing the current Coaching team,a fact that has eluded most people, myself included .This morning I spoke to an Ex Leigh player who told me the cost would be very considerable to replace them,my answer was what is more important,getting to SL or staying financially sound
Obviously I support the Club as well as the Team,and wouldn't want us to go down the Keith Bell road again,but the comparisons are there,that year before a ball was kicked Leigh were redhot favourites to finish Top, by Christmas we were in the brown stuff and the end of season was disaster,now I think Derek has more no us than Keith Bell, but again in the cold light of day my question is ,Do we get rid of Jukesy and KC?Or keep the faith in them and try to stay focused on what we have?I'm not sure.'"

The one thing we will not have if this rubbish continues to be served up will be supporters except the real diehards

Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr "It is a little difficult to do that when you have no or little service , however Dawson is a very poor winger for me. Defensively he is just not at the races and I have said it for some time now.'"
I understand he's not had good service but how many other wingers in the game score trys on their own ability in broken play without relying on service,how many breaks has he made on kick returns ect because in nearly 3 seasons I can't remember many,yes he works hard and comes in to help the forwards out but sorry I think has a full time team I want more than a winger just taking drives in

Harold, you appear to be another one who hasn't yet come to grips with modern-day RL! (see my reply on the need not to gain ground from penalty kicks) In the 'tactics' we employ, the winger's sole job is to run the ball hard from dummy half, thus saving the forwards' energy, so that they can dominate and tire the opposition, and run the points in, during the second half. Oh, hang on a minute............................ icon_surprised.gifops:

Probably one of the reasons we dont see expansive play,as we dont have the pace to match that stlye 40/50m out. Our style (if you can call it that at present) is set for the likes of Dawson to score from 5/10m out,but he's just not getting the service at that range.

Nice to see 40/50m trys, but most are one offs these days as precedence is set on getting to the scoring zone and then use them. All very pedicatable at present.

Without any expansiveness of play teams are predictable we seem to be playing a bad version of Aussie rugby. There is also the issues of entertaining the fans and letting the players express themselves there should be space in a good team for this. Coaches need to free the players to play what they see and show a bit of belief in them.

Without a doubt. The thing for me is and this is were the coaching side of it fails. They don't have an answer in real time. They set the stall out,but don't change a thing.
