Ryan...

Quote: Ste100Centurions "Actually & FWIW, although I don't know you from Adam & wouldn't normally listen to one word uttered by a Fev Fan, I agree with much of what RFF & JGR are saying.

This Club *My much Loved Club* is in a worse than horrendous place right now.

1 season ago I only wished for one thing *promotion to SL for LCRLFC* .....
now I wish for a few things

1. Promotion to SL for LCRLFC
2. DB to STFU
3. Stability & to stop the rot within the Club.

To me, as JGR has quite rightly said, there seems to be many Leigh fans who might once have hailed Ryan as a hero & the best player outside SL etc *or similar types of reference to RB* who are now only too willing to denounce him as the Devil incarnate.

RB has consistently shown great passion for this fine Club who made him the player he is today & also for the fans who took him in as a valued member of the FamiLeigh.
He has been by far our most prolific try scorer & one of our top 3 most consistent performers.

Normally I would not have a bad word said about my most cherished RL Club, but IMHO * & I realise it might not be worth Jack*, DB is at the root of all of this discord within Leigh Centurions.

Yes he has backed the Club with his hard earned cash, yes again he has the best interests of the Club at heart & only wants the best for the Club, but he is making LCRLFC a laughing stock & has become a Mk1 version of MarwanK CarCrash.

Would PR still be Head Coach if it wasn't for DB ?
Would Alan Rowley still be on the BOD if it wasn't for DB ?
Would RB submit his notice if it wasn't for DB & the surrounding issues at LCRLFC ?

How many more players will leave by the end of this season ?
Is Rangi on his way out ?
Are Bob Beswick & Liam Kay banned from the Club/suspended ?

Did Derek interfere with or demand certain signings that maybe Paul Rowley did not want ? *Hock/Chase* ? Has Derek interfered with or demanded certain team selections ?
Is this why Paul left ?

Why would PR leave his home town RL Club which he has taken to NRC Champions, 2 x Championship League Leaders & a Championship Champions title & 2 successive Challenge Cup Quarter Finals ?

All of these things should sound warning alarms for all Leigh Centurions fans.

One thing is certain, should these issues not be resolved quickly & should we lose Beswick &/or Kay or any other stand out player then we can forget promotion, maybe not just this year either, this current turmoil could set the Club back 10 or 20 years.

If DB should suddenly give up on his dream of SL for Leigh, then what ?
A team full of players on top dollar with contracts that need to be paid, that's what.

Now, I haven't been a member of this forum as long as many here, but I stand by my opinions & I am prepared to take the bullets.

Either Derek has an epiphany of epic proportions & goes the same way as MarwanK Mk2 *allowing the Head Coach to coach & pick the team/signings or I really fear for our Club.

I won't be seeing you tomorrow *listening on MixLR* but I will be seeing you at Fax.

Good luck Leigh with everything.

& Derek ...... Get a Grip.'"

It's apparent you're not a DB fan, however I still think we have a good chance of getting into SL. Just let the dust settle. there is one thing i will say,Is I don't want to be standing watching a Leigh team with about 900 speccies like we once did.. BTW - FWIW we all had to digest all the crap from other folk when we finished at bottom of the middle 8s. It seems to me he is trying to put this right, Those who don't like it, then it's tough. Keep off his back until all fails.
