We are in the same position we are always in,whole sale changes in the close season no continuity not much time to gel.Thought we got beat by a better team who wanted it more and played the conditions,as for Ben we have had him on and off for quite a few years full time,I don't see any improvement in him,he doesn't seem to be able to focus for 80mins and cannot lead us round the park.Dont get me wrong he does try and puts the effort in and a fearless tackler but in my opinion he's not the play maker to take us forward. Opposition fans warned us about Dixon and he didn't disappoint Hopefully Lammy and Chester can get a few more player in

Derek I know it may seem I’m targeting Ben Reynolds , but he doesn’t seem to be progressing ,is he at Leigh because he was given a 2 year deal.?
We have some difficult games approaching , tomorrow the Bulls won’t lie down , then we are away at York , we seem to have a decent squad out tomorrow , and hopefully give the ball a bit of air , not many points scored today , maybe because of the conditions , but we are at. The LSV so things should be better .
I’m predicting a Leigh win , by 14 , hopefully a happy debut for Hitchcox.

Ian, iv'e always questioned Reynolds at stand off, and we all know that position has to be addressed asap. I'm going for a Leigh win tomorrow with hopefully a good performance, and hopefully no injuries or suspensions. It's alright Degsey saying they are waiting for the right players to become available but, he's obviously got it wrong with Reynolds. I still believe we could have kept hold of a couple or so of players from last season,but hey, after Degsy's massive outburst at the players on the coach after the Magic W/E, I'm not surprised they wanted to GTFO at the end of the season.

I'd be very interested in Jonathon Ford and other Toulouse stars forced to leave through vaccination laws. Toulouse will themselves be looking for players.

I agree Jonathon Ford would be a very good addition to our team ,things seem to have gone quiet on him , who knows something may be going on behind the scenes we are not privy to , the Management will do the right thing when the time is right .

Im glad you agree about a win tomorrow,after last seasons Magic Week end debacle I’m not surprised Derek was livid , the players deserved it , it’s ok secret I’m a Ryan Brierley fan , I would have done anything to keep him at Leigh , I feel maybe Derek called his bluff and was proved wrong , but that’s life , I think Derekis a loyal bloke which is why Ben is still with us , I just feel he offers us very little in attack ,defence , or his kicking game , he is a good goal kicker , but we have others in the squad .
