My opinion from our recent results at leigh and the general lull is that we need to replace old for new at the club and i aint talking about the coach.It is the same in any business, when you reach a plateau sometimes it works to make a change as new ideas and enthusiasm can make the difference.this is my opinion only of course.
Cant afford it?

I fully accept your entitlement to a point of view - and indeed it might be right - there have been a few comments on here, querying the 'professionalism' of the current staff.
However, to put another slant on it, (also an opinion) maybe it's the quantity of staff, rather than the quality, that's the issue? I believe there should be more staff, to get more done, and allow existing staff the opportunity to fulfil the roles they were appointed to do. The snag
is money, unfortunately. When we are asked "Would you prefer a team on the pitch, or a more back-room staff?" then I think we all would like the instant gratification of seeing marvellous, winning, entertaining rugby. (not that this is what we are seeing, at the moment!
) Yes, in the ideal World, we should be spending on both sides - on and off the pitch. It would not seem that the funds available will stretch to this though.
Anyway, we have recently appointed a new person on the Commercial team. Now, her 'simple' task is to get out there and find some more businesses to pour their money into Leigh!
