Quote LeythIg="LeythIg"I expect to see Cunningham become the most expensive programme seller the world has ever seen.
Unfortunately, there is no solution. 5 losses out of 6 means irreparable damage has been done to our hopes of promotion and even top 4. DB has to now sort budgets out for next season, based on next to no central funding and get a coach in that can avoid relegation this season! If that means transition back to part time next season then so be it, but more emphasis will need to be put on the Tommy Sale Youth programme to make sure that reserves / academy structures stay in place. Imo, the first bad decision that led to this was scrapping the reserves in 2016. We completely underestimated the number of players we would need contracted at the club to give ourselves a chance in SL.'"
LeythIg I agree with a lot of what you say, we must face the harsh truth But the Club's future,this season reminds me of a mirror image of the Disaster season with Bell and Hart in charge, that season we had been relagated and we're strong g favourites to be promoted,we had a very strong Squad ,Murphy was in charge,and the losses came thick and fast,às this happened the players slowly left the Club, as it seems they are doing now, ie ,Baptiste and if true Hutchy,we played Runcorn on New Years Day with no less than 6 Scrum Halves in the 15 man squad.
Come the end of the season ,it was terrible Bell and Hart demanded their investment cash back, and the Club was on its knees, my worry is ,Does Dereks investment be regarded as a loan or is it an investment that if he leaves the Club we don't have to repay?We are not privy to this but it is a worry.For me it's not just the Overseas players who have been disappointing,I've been asked a few times over the past weeks what's happening at Leigh?My answer,I honestly don't know,we won't be relagated, but the top 4 is now a dream,look at our remaining fixtures,we have 1 win out of 6,I like to think I'm an optimistic fan, but you can't keep saying,we will get a win this week,you have to earn the wins,our next game is Dews at home it won't be easy.Will we beat Batley in the Cup?I'm not sure.
