mAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE DONE A fAX AND PASSED TO CAP AROUND ONLY TO FIND MEGABUCKS FROM SOMEWHERE

Ha, Ha, im a Batley supporter i was just photographing the game for the papers.

In one word...Quality.

In every department on and off the field.

I would say it's more than 2 or 3, without going OTT.
There's 'quite a few' I'd happily never see in a Leigh shirt again.

surely even they can't get any poorer, can they ?

Pace -

Not had an outside back with pace for years. Looking at Worrincy yesterday made me realise that. Other teams manage to find 'em so why can't we? Adebisi @ Haven, MacGilvery @ Batley etc. etc.

Fitness -

We don't have a fitness and conditioning coach and rely on Rowley and Knox to set up fitness programmes for the whole squad.

Adaptability -

Most of the squad are one trick ponies and are specialists in their positions. We have no utility players who can slot in to different positions with ease.

the list is endless........

That man said it.

This is one area that Fax strengthed last year. Getting Andy Proctor on board to look after the conditioning of the team. Our players this year look much more muscular and we seem to be much more powerfull in both attack and defence. Last year we had Gibbo doing it this year we have a guy who lectures on sports science.

a board of directors that made good decisions? the amount of money we have wasted on coach's/players etc since they took over is terrible. i honestly believe that their hearts are in the right place but god its gone down hill, i'm not saying that they have to through every penny they have at the club - but the club has gone far worse in recent seasons both on and off the pitch and it needs changing.

Halifax have turned things round in recent seasons without throwing stupid money at it - they have appointed a good coach and good players playing entertaining rugby and there is clearly a buzz about their club/town.

leigh? inept...

we also had that "buzz" prior to our SL year....being in several grand finals and then getting to SL, so I think you are being a little unfair.

Clearly since then the club has had less room for manoeuvre with cash and salary cap constraints. We have even bee fined for a salary cap breach.

Admittedly we recruited poorly last off season but to have a go at us when you've had one good season (and not won anything yet) in a number of years is getting a little bit ahead of yourselves don't you think?

What about your great youth policy though.... oh no I forgot you haven't got one

Check won the league for the youth comps over the last few years mate.
