None of us will ever stop supporting our team but something is clearly not right at the moment I think the players are just not good enough

Same goes to yourself HRJ, I'm sure everybody's hurting at the moment, and your more than welcome to express your feelings - clearly there's been a serious error in our recruitment program

My issue is with the valvehunters of this world who didn't exist on here until it has gone t1ts up.
The likes of yourself, like me, will be here come what may - and that's what we want

Up the leythers

I attended my first game - so i have been informed at the age of 6 in 1959 - and I have been going ever since through a lot more thin than thick times, even when we have not performed to our potential it had a reason.
But, this class of 2018 really has me flummoxed, I was not sorry to see Mr Jukes leave, he could really have you scratching your head with his selections and his over cautious brand of football which turned out forlorn anyway, it seems he adopted the same plan with this new group, but one thing he did not do was to tell them not to be interested on the field.
Keiron Cunningham good nay very good player, but since taking up the tracksuit and shirt and tie his results in anything he has been involved in has gone belly-up, is he a Jonah - perhaps that should have been his name not his son's - nothing seems to work for him.
Even giving his shortcomings I actually feel sorry for Mr Beaumont, he has done everything with the best intentions for Leigh RLFC, if a lot of it has been by his own fruition he has wasted a lot of money, if he has been given advise by people within the club in his employ then get shut.
But back to this team, they are like an ailing man on his death bed who has given up and is awaiting the inevitable, a miracle cure needs to be found and quick but is there enough money in the kitty to finance the treatment before Dr Beaumont gives up and pulls the plug?

I didn't see the Fax game, fortunately, however it is without doubt a shocking performance/result. Looking at our back line, I actually thought it looked stronger than at any time last season? The forwards are not as competitive or cohesive! Our 'defence' is appalling worst for years! we don't seem to have a 'sliding defence' anymore and that's why teams ship the ball wide and we are done!
We've seen NJ walk however there appear to be more culpable culprits also?
This Forum is becoming a Haven for critics however, its people with answers we need not, I told you so's!
If DB has got wrong then I hope he stays and fights to put it right, he has done it before and, he can do it again but the fans will have stay too !

Not saying I told you so but I’ve saved close to a oner by not going this season so far.

It’s all well and good people saying support the team and if we as fans go then...

How can anyone blindly support a team you have no confidence or faith in. I’ll always support Leigh. But I’m not spending money to watch a team who I’ve no faith in. To those who do go every week regardless. More power to you. It takes a big man/woman to do that. I’ve done it years ago to goto games knowing full well we’d lose. I’ve not got that drive anymore.

There seems to be deep deep rooted issues. We all thought Paul Cooke was the problem last season.

With regard to Cunningham. I was under the impression he was brought in to be the face of the club. To make us more of an attraction. Like him or loathe him. He’s respected who gives Leigh a draw.

Getting rid of Ridyard for Hutchinson. Any coach in the world would have made that swap. Let’s not kid ourselves we wouldn’t.

Incoming coach. Experience needed. Iro. Smith. Elliot.

I’ll also guess that any English club who isn’t in Super League after the MPG is finished anyway with regard to the restructure. This will be the drawbridge up once and for all.

and if that does transpire others me parting company with the game after 45 years

Balls to em. We can have our own league. Eventually they'll come crying back once a few of their number go bust. Salford look doomed to me and if a few others lost their backers they'd be completely screwed.

Anyway on the Leigh situation I'd say the most critical thing is to get a coach in that the players respect and want to play for. Obviously letting Jukes go hasn't remedied anything and there's been no new coach "bounce" as players try to impress the new boss. You need an experienced man, please don't look in our direction



Recruitment has been a mess with far too many ins and outs. It takes time to build a spirit in a club and it appears to an outsider as if this has drained away slowly over the past year or so and accelerated recently. You need to stop the rot before you finish outside the top 4. However talk of relegation is crazy IMO.

There seems to be deep deep rooted issues. We all thought Paul Cooke was the problem last season. Yes a lot of folks post on forums giving their opinion without any evidential support.

Looks from an outsider as you have bought individual expensive players who cannot or will not play together as a team. Looking at the team sheet yesterday I was expecting a scoreline the opposite way with the amount of sl / nrl players.

You do not look anyway near what you did in 2016. What happened to the half back (drinkwater) as that ausie you had on show yesterday was shocking

And Ridyard plays for Fev




Oh how we've chuckled at that one these last few weeks.
And if some of the attitudinal stuff I'm hearing about players behaviour at training, then I'm not surprised Leigh are towing.

Wow, just Wow, if you've not been to a game all season- you are the type who's comments get no respect from me.
Unless of course there are other reasons than the above for not attending
