mentioning no names but a player told me last night that NK is old school and plans match by match instead of having a seasons plan.

Wow the " weve got a young team so its ok" didnt last long did it? You got beat by a team that has spent a lot of money and on paper is better than the Leigh team. Really what do you expect.
What happened to everyones faith in Neil Kelly?

Leyther till i die Ryan Giggs is God:



We could do with buying or loaning quality experience players like all the other teams have done or we will be in a relegation battle.

We should go for someone like steven tyrer because he aint gettin a game at celtic.

The last thing we want/can do is sack Kelly as IF he has signed a 2 year contract it would cost us too much to pay him off. The simple answer is bring in some loan players, Something has to be done and that seems to be the quickest/cheapest option, I still have a bit of faith in Neil Kelly icon_surprised.gifops:

Everyone had faith in Benson with the money he spent, Thats why people had /have faith in Kelly as he was/is a good coach. We are the man City of RL sack the coach every 6 mathches icon_lol.gif

Problem GFB, is that all the teams in the Championship seem to have spent more than us, and have better teams, on paper - yes, even bottom of the table Batley, who comprehensively embarrassed us at LSV. We have made arguably, two 'quality' signings. Stuart Donlan is a class full back, and plays anywhere but there. We already had a quality full back, so Donlan is being used to plug inadequacies everywhere else, thus completely nullifying his value. (Armitstead is the other good signing, who is just playing himself back, after injury)

well i for one fail to see what Mr Kelly is coaching these lads in training.

we have 1 move which is dummy half to 1st reciver drive in play the ball and thats it.

just watched the game again on TV and my thought are exactly the same.

I could coach a team to do that!!!! icon_rolleyes.gif

We have a young inexperience side and losses are inevitable but the pay of YOU SHOULD get from this is inthusiasm. If they were throwing the ball about and making mistakes i could take that but 5 drives and a kick (if we dont just drive it in on the 6th how many time have we done that!!!) isnt acceptable.

Our Acadamy team play a miles better brand of RL than our first team.

If Mr Kelly lets these lads play then we might have a chance but at the moment we are heading 1 way Championship 1 icon_surprised.gifops:

Mines a pint... 'Hi-Ho Silver Lining' Headingley 05th October 2014.:1392.gif



We won't go down (sorry to spoil the thread), we will be in the playoffs from 5th or 6th.
Kelly has little money with a young squad, I expect results v Batley etc not v Fev who have spent a tidy sum to say the least.
We will only beat Fev / Barrow /Widnes / Toulouse etc if the club goes for broke (quite literally) and signs SL players (on SL contracts).

If people honestly thought we should beat Fev than you may be in for a season of dissapointment IMO - Leigh arn't the big "lower league" club they was and whilst many go for broke chasing a SL dream that will never happen Leigh are concentrating on working with the finances they have.
I'd agree with the argument that Leigh massively underperform off field year in year out that causes the financial 'shortfalls' - definatly a huge missed opportunity and something this current 'board' seem incapable or unwilling to rectify.

Kelly is best left in the job right now IMO, even Millward would struggle playing full time clubs (or largely full time v part time players) week in week out

I am told by a fellow die hard that the team when training do practice moves and pass the ball properly and the handling is surprisingly very good.

It,s not happening often in matches at the moment but we,ve still won 3.

Good to see Aaron Smith back and with a stand off and Higson to come back I am still hopefull that we will improve.

I,ll be at Batley can,t help it. icon_smile.gif

For those wanting rid of NK, who would you wish to replace him?

We're playing terrible rugby at the minute, bar the odd flash of passing rugby (and we showed last night that we can do it at times), but I genuinely think that we've got the best that we can afford to pay for, both in terms of the squad and coaching staff.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



Quote: JENKY " I expect results v Batley '"


We didn't get that either......so time to get real. We don't have a board, we don't have a coach and we don't have the players worthy of a place in the Championship.....or at least thats the impression they are giving the whole rugby league world at the moment. The club are also proving that the franchise decision to leave us out was 100% the correct one.
