If there minds were on Friday then that is the wrong attitude. Today was for points. Friday is for cash to keep the club alive.

Lynda, the other week Barrow were 22-0 up and I if they hadn't lost there scrum half it could have been worse. We only just beat Swinton and weren't too good against Worky. i didn't go against East Leeds but was told today that we appeared to tire earlier than them. 18 months ago we had one of the best defences below SL and looked really fit - what's going wrong?

Paul is all for (and indeed has championed) the sign up with Wigan.
Maybe he knew he'd struggle this season and knew the only way he'd be able to compete was to have this fall back option of using Wigan players.

Don't agree. We may have been shocking today and it certainly annoyed us travelling supporters but our club know what you are suggesting is most definitely not an option.

And if PR doesn't know that I would be as astonished as him.

He is our coach and he needs to get our squad b*ll*cked after that shameful display today.

How can ANYBODY say Penky did OK today ?

Chill....WE GOT STUFFED in a 'non promotion' league game.
Doubt Paul Rowley is TOTALLY to blame, we usually play 4 or 5 drives then a kick, didn't hear TOO many folk complaining last season.
Next Friday, different day, different opposition.....

Michael did that really happened the players were laughing behind the post when we had conceded a try?

my son who`s twenty one said a senior member of the team said something to another player and started laughing as they were waiting for the conversion it was around 50 points to nil at the time.i didnt see it but he said that is takin the mick out of us supporters and i agree with him

I keep hearing we cant afford this and that, i appreciate finances are tight, but our income must still be way ahead of Sheffield, batley etc yet we are a long way behind Rugby wise, changes are needed, Quickly

Thanks for the reply Michael.

Thought that myself Keith.

Batley and Sheffield work to a budget every year and never overspend the balance sheets reflect that. However Leigh historically have been benchmarked against Cas and perhaps even Wire and hopefully one day will be back where the support and facilities deserve to be. It would need a change of direction though I am afraid otherwise I can see Fev getting the first bite

Absolutely spot on Derek.

I am turning upon Friday to watch a special game and to put money in the clubs coffers. We will get stuffed, but who cares ?

Fax on the other hand was a game for which we should be competative and we have a very good record over them. On the few occasions I have seen Leigh this season, the moves have gone, confidence has gone and we are in a false top 6 position, simply because we have some poor teams in our league due to the expansion of it.

McNally is a natural 7 and gifted player. Brierly at least gives some impetus, so if we are not going to play him for the full 80, just get rid of him.!!

I would have Millward back in a shot because there was always an air of unpredictability and adventure in the team. We have some flair players, but it aint no good when we pay good money to have them on the bench for 60 mins and interchanging after 20 !!

I really hope we throw caution to the wind on Friday and give the effort the fans deserve.

I doubt very much that if Sundays scoreline had been in our favour that it would make the slightest difference to what is going to happen Friday ! We could be top of the league but we are still going to get trounced in the CC by Wigan but I don't care as its money for the club plus the atmosphere so I'm still going and I stayed behind to clap them off even if it was dire .

I think Rowley has been poor tactically and found out constantly by the likes of Powell and Tubby. Add Harrison to the list.

However I will say this about Rowley with regards to Friday. Paul Rowley know's better than most what a Wigan v Leigh derby means to the fans, so He will at least ensure the player's heads are switched on, fully focused and ready to give absolutely everything they have in the tank whilst wearing the Leigh shirt on Friday night.

Of that I have no doubt and that is all I ask.
