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.

That also includes the Gillette national youth league where the winners were LEIGH mIners Ranger and the Barla National Cup winners was Leigh EAst at under 18s level.

And they are funded by Leigh Centurions? Again where has it gotten you at the moment?

Not much.

I certainly would not call your club inept but I do think they have made a major blunder giving Paul Rowley the Head Coach job. This has nothing to do with his ability or the lack of it as he has no track record,that is the brunt of the problem.
It was the bigest blunder our club made a few years ago signing an ex-player for our coach and what was worst giving him another contract even though he was poor.
He had no track record and many who came to play for him were players who couldn`t care less who they played for as long as they got the money and we became the "elephants graveyard" of flawed players who had no repect for him.
It did not turn around till Martin Hall came to the club he was well known in rugby league circles and started to attract a better more committed player.
He only moved upstairs when the groundwork he laid down was flourishing so he knew he had a strong foundation to hand over to Matt Calland.
I think Kelly or someone of his type should have been Head Coach for another couple of years with Rowley learning off him so good players have the confidence to come back to your club so you can build again.
What`s hapening to you hapened to us and it`s been a long road back. Rowley is only young if it gets any worse he has not the experiance to sort it. So what happens then ? not I hope what hapened to our "club hero" who turned from hero to pantomime villain in 2 yrs. You never see him at the club now at all I would hate to see that happen to Paul as he is Leigh through and through.

Maybe the £ 120,000 per season sponsorship from the Halifax building society [ HBOS group ] and having several players also paid by that co doing community work as well has helped

i think they made a mistake whn announcing the attendance i am sure there were more there than that.

It was n`t a shared gate by any chance ???...

They borrowed salfords golden gate but installed it back to front
