The Watcher as the majority of Leigh speccies feels very confused at the moment, the pre season signings looked good & The Watcher was excited about the upcoming season. Then the games start & it all looked very familiar, pretty good for 20-25 mins & then a catalogue of mistakes, penalties & what looks like a complete lack of confidence desends upon the team.The Watcher believes that fitness must play a role in this pattern. Why do our players appear not to be as fit as other teams & in particularly part time players? Is it the training regime? Is it the players themselves? Is it a lack of respect for the coaching staff? What ever it is the new head coach must address this apparent lack of fitness that has blighted the team recently. Perhaps a strict disciplinarian is what this lot of seemingly talented players needs right now, someone who will tell them exactly as it is & someone they will actually respect & listen to. Good luck to the new appointment, you'll need it to turn this particular oil tanker around.

Great title for a Song.

See you soon Charles

You most certainly will Mick, can't wait.

Thanks for your logical contribution Alan.
You are a good judge and I sincerely hope you are right about this season's recruits, with reference to their experience and your expectation that they surely have more to offer than what has been delivered to date.

In addition Mickey Higham, Craig Hall and Rhys Evans will undoubtedly provide a major quality improvement upon what we have seen so far.

However I need some convincing that this year's squad is anywhere near the quality of last year's, despite the fact that Glenn Stewart and Willie Tonga jointly proved, with hindsight, to provide a very poor return on the investment.

Only time will tell in regard to the claims made by KC about this year's squad.

Cheers PTB - not sure about being a good judge, but hope I am in this case! As for the squad, well, on paper..................If only the game were played on paper, eh?!
