Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but gang/pack mentality?? Really??

Who are you saying the 5 are out of interest? I have to say not one of them come across to me as having a pack mentality, just one common goal to make Leigh successful.

I too will be forever grateful for the last round of management team who saved the club however Mish they aren't alone. I'm 36 and I think the clubs been saved at least 6 times now by differnent people. All of whom earn my respect and for the record 2 of the 6 you describe as having a pack mentality have been there a few of those 6 times I reference.

Put to one side your bitterness cause Andy and John are no longer in the main seats. Andy is a Leyther and will still watch all the games does John?

Which bit pal?

I have watched Leigh since 1956 and I posted early last season this was the best team we have had since I have been watching.

RL has changed a lot in the last 30 years and there were no full time teams in 71 or 82.

Next season will be better than last in terms of intensity and quality of play imo.

Well said Frank.

The day after we won the GF, I had a text off a good friend from over the hill in Yorkshire he said you know what Ste of all the rugby he had watched that weekend and he'd watched every live TV game we had played the best RL.

John Woods after a few pints and 20 cigs would still run rings round any of this Leigh team as good as they are - The most amazing Rugby League player I have ever seen. There were some fantastic players in those teams - Murphy, Ashcroft, Chisnall, Eckersley, Joe Walsh - Des Drummond, John Woods, Steve Donlan, Ian Potter, Ray Tabern, Mick Hogan.

I know what you mean though Frank but it is only because of full time training. They have got a fantastic squad together and a brilliant team spirit. They will win the league and win promotion at the first attempt in the £1m game.

We will be no where near that million pound game.

A last point, and I do think Ste is getting a bit too excited but only a bit, there are 6 people mentioned for you gang of 5

Aim for the stars Mo....

Unless I've been kidnapped as well folks in the last 30 years I make it we've been in the top flight around 6 years of the 30 and been relegated in at least 3 of those seasons if not 4.

So I'm really struggling to understand why anyone thinks we can't certainly beat any of those previous 30 years....

Aim for the stars Leythers!!

Ste, you got carried away when Arthur took over, and while the club is now well placed to have a tilt at getting into SL, it is no way a ' given ' , and retaining that place and remaining solvent and reasonably competitive is much harder

Andy and John??? What have they got to do with the price of fish? Just for your information I resigned from the PSG whilst John Roddy was still the Chairman so I'm not sure why you would think I'm somehow bitter about the fact that he's no longer in charge. As for Andy, I think he's a diamond bloke but haven't seen or spoken to him since our last game at the LSV when I said hello to him outside as I was passing. You need to stop listening to your chums cos they're way off the mark and they're feeding you the wrong information.

Is it really beyond the realms of possibility that I can decide for myself whether I like/dislike something or someone? I'm not bitter at all but do I have a problem with what's going on? Yes absolutely.

Oh and the 5 are those listed in the press release (not Dan Carty).

No chums feeding me....

So your really saying for example, Mike Latham is part of a gang with Derek, Allan, Ste, Mike ???

Nothing's a given Ste that's for sure but weve never been better placed.

Yes I was equally exited when AT took over and had the RFL not been run by the most incompetent CEO at the time we would have certainly made SL.

Now there is a clear pathway on how to get to SL, it's amazing idea really were by results on the pitch matter and not who you take out for dinner!!
