Essentially, DB didn't know how to adapt when Rowley unexpectedly 'abandoned' him. I think we all agree an experienced head was needed ala Tim Sheens. But instead, Jukes came in and subsequently Cunningham immersed himself in the coaching along with Jukes which evidently didn't help things -- probably wanted Jukes out and the coaches role for himself.

DB did a much better job than Cunningham as Head with regards to player recruitment. Post MPG, if management had renegotiated with and kept the majority of the 2017 squad... A promotion to SL was definitely on. Who initiated the clear out?

A few poor choices and the Cunningham Effect = Disaster! Look at Saints, new coach, 1 new player and the transformation is immense.

Simple question for you, why should Leigh get the fixtures they would choose and which fixtures would you choose?

You have had a moan about playing Sheffield first but haven’t come up with an alternative.

There’s three other home fixtures of which any could have been chosen. It’s not a moan, it’s practical. Why choose a fixture that we’ve just witnessed first up? When clearly other options were available.

The governing body is suppose to support in the best interests of the game. Tunnel vision springs to mind on this decision and will cost bums on seats.

It possibly will, although I reckon not getting in the top four will cost more bums on seats.

The governing body is not supposed to support the whim of Leigh !
Why oh why would the RFL change the schedule just because Leigh have just played Sheffield ? What you are saying is just lunacy !

I never said they did. I said support the game.. Your lunacy point needs to be pointed at DB not moi..
