Is that an hyperthetical question?

Not from what i'm hearing.

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leigh press the self detruct button again!

We may be seeing the same smoke, lets see.

Hmmm... if thats true, it would be interesting to hear if the same person having a hand in it as last time. He should have gone then, but instead was bumped up and/or across, no matter how much of a hero he was on the pitch.

Whos to say who was in the right or in the wrong last time?
Benson lost control plain and simple.
Did you ever hear about the Video session and Deal or no Deal?

Nope

The contestants black mailing Noel Edmonds and the banker beacuse of a sex scandal caught on video, i heard that to

The Story goes that all the players were sat round the TV to watch the Video of the previous game, the first thing that came on the TV was deal or no deal, a certain large bald Yorkshire fellow demanded that the channel not be changed until he had watched the conclusion and all the players and coach did as he said and sat waiting until he was ready and let them turn the DVD on!!! Discipline wasn't the order of the day in that season i'm afraid!

I do think it's time for a new coach - a brand new coach, not one who's already here.

But to answer your question, a coach should always have total control of his players and have confidence that the board will back him rather than the players - so no IMO, if the players won't play for the coach then they should be shown the door. A coach is the boss, full stop, if the players don't like it then they should leave.

That's just for the players though - once the speccies and board have lost confidence in the coach then he should be gone - end of!

Well said.


Also are we really going down that well trodden road again of another coach change ?

I have faith in Neil Kelly. And I do.

Changing the coach would achieve zero IMO.

Facts are we are a club that is unable or unwilling to spend money.

I suspect its being run as well as the current people in charge can do it (and i'm no fan of AT etc) and is there a real need to invest in a league that has lost its identity this season .

We have a young(ish) squad that is NOT and was NEVER going to finish in the top 4, we have however slipped in certain games regarding effort /concentration.
Concentration is understandable, effort is unforgivable, tiredness does play a part though with some pretty dire fixture planning for a part time club.

For me this season I want Leigh to compete with Doncaster, Batley, Whitehaven, Sheffield & Gateshead (pre Gateshead imploding i'd have settled for the others), I hope Leigh could finish top of this smaller financed group.
Playing and competeing against the full timers and big spenders is off the menu for a while.....maybe a long while

Getting rid of another coach would be a bad move.
Sorting the club out off the field to maximise opportunitys to bring in finance and realise what potential there is in the town/area is a must for those currently running the club.

It's ridiculous that people are even considering getting rid of the coach as an option, we need some stability all over the club, we need the attendances to increase and stay that way (will be hard at the moment for numerous reasons, recession poor rugby etc) a team that is together for more than 1 season (not just starting a fresh with a completely new team every year) and stick with a coach with that same team, they wil get to kno each other strengths and weaknesses!

Someone has mentioned they are only training together 3 hours a week it's no wonder our rugby is so flat no one will have a clue what anyone else is likely to do! give em a chance if we stay up we can hopefully add to the squad and get better next year and the year after!
