| Charlie, burying our heads or blindly following the rhetoric will do our club great harm. Most posters do so because they care passionately about our club. What we have this year is shocking. Fax, Fev and Sheffield haven't beaten us they have slaughtered us, Batley will do the same.
Those of us who have been around for too many years do not expect us to be competing with the Leeds/Wigans/Wires etc in a full time sport but to be as we are is frightening - no ambition, clueless, cost driven and fed garbage from the top is not going to generate the incomes we need to be the best we can be.
I think the market research said that fans wanted to watch exciting RL above winning, well we are losing and watching totally boring RL, same as we saw the last time Rowley was in charge and we should have been relegated.

Aspinwall has torn a bicep muscle and should be back in July.

I agree with most of what you say Mo but the solution is not here , what do we do ?We have no money to make changes , in any personel , if everyone just walks away , we have nothing , im not prepared to let this happen , i want to see exciting rugby ,we all do , but we must go with what we have , we have no choice .
I bet the BOD , Trevor , and Paul and his staff are all feeling as we do this morning , hurt and in pain , looking for answers , they still want the same as we do , as i have said i know you care , as i do it hurts very much , but im not prepared to give up , some of those players are just not up to it , i still think we have a capable Squad though , and would agree about bringing back Nico and giving him a chance . i hope to see you there Friday .

No Charlie, the above mentioned should be providing the answers not looking for them.

| I am a believer in anything is possible in business but it is sales driven, not cost driven. I believe our club works on the latter and in business saving money rarely makes money. The solution lies in a completely different strategy based on controlled ambition, spending wisely, Director investment to kick start it and supporter inclusion.
This season has gone, if we can go into pre season with a new board, PG's written off and a new coach we will have a great 2014.
I am in two minds about Friday but, they way I feel, believe I will give most of the season a miss after yesterday to help force the changes we need, as that is all the top table seem to notice.

| I fully expect Paul to go as defensive as possible so I think he will stick with what he's done most of season i.e BB @ 7 etc for what it's worth I'd go for a strong defensive pack two defensive sound centres and runner to chime in from fullback and try to ask them questions. If we sit off these men they will get a real rolll on so it's important we try and complete and kick well and the chase and defensive effort will be key in keeping the shoreline as competitive as possible
1. Ryan Brierley
2. Maddo
3. Stu
4. Higson
5. Pownall
6. McNally
7. Penky
8. JT
9. Beswick
10. Thornley
11. Finny
12. Tommy G
13. Hopkins
Parker
Ridyard
Duffy
Briscoe

| As for that little pie eating runt scoring 11 tries pin that up on dressing room wall and all club in 20 quid each before game and bang it on Ryan Brierley to score a hat trick from full back.
Everyone will tackle that bit harder and try and put him through gaps if he gets his nose through line inside opponents he will get over so god knows why he only gets fifteen minutes here and there.
Get Greg mac @7 and ask him to take the line on and make play remember those days when we had scrum halves who did that??? Punished us in a seven jersey for Haven
Just coz Wigan play Tompkins fullback after coming through as a half doesn't mean every good half must play at fullback!!!

| I think the BOD and the CEO should call it a day, walk away from the club and leave it to those on here who think they can do a better job. I can't wait to see Mo and Starbug at the helm and I'm sure we'll all be totally in awe of how they manage to bring in 1000's of kids and a stadium full of speccies.
I'm also sure that all those investors who are desperate to put tons of cash into the club will be banging down the doors for a piece of the Leigh pie.
Bring it on.

Well my personal opinion on your statement is that at least one of those would bring benefits to the club.

Riddy is the best 6 we have and runs the game for us.......the problem is at 7 - Beswick is a 9/13 and is were the problem is. We need someone who can help direct the team around with Riddy......McNally at 7 and Brierley at 1 for me.

| I'd go with that but maybe McNally does not want to play at scrum half or it would have been done a few matches ago ?
