I am sad about this departure. I really hope Adam gets a fair crack at Swinton and the luxury of knowing the coach rates him and has faith in him. Holding down a regular spot and not being used as a bit part player should help him tremendously as well. You have talent Adam, let's hope you can now be treated well, get regular first team rugby and grow in confidence from there. I am gutted to see you go as I am a Leigh fan, however I think this could be just what you need. The way Steve Mac has spoken about you already, indicates already how he rates you and he is a genuine bloke. Hope you take the chance and thrive next year. I have really enjoyed watching you at Leigh and hope that one day you return.

Five figures was a lot Fred, but not the way we threw money away before Basil.

As with most , ive only heard what the Players were on last season , Basil was supposed to be on a very good amount , along with RHP , and a couple of others , i hope we can return to sensible contracts next season , what we can afford to pay , and get players playing for us who want to wear our Shirt, maybe next season we wont set the League on fire , but i think next season will be about stabilising the Club and Team , getting things on the right tracks again , and then hopefully going forward with the intent on making a mark the season after.

As for the Future , yes we have a Future , if we pull together ,things will start to look up,and rise , believe me .

Next season needs to be the start of a 5 year plan , culminating with us applying to join SL in 2018 , replacing Salford when they move into Agecroft to groundshare with Swinton

Nothing happens by accident Ian , something I've been trying to tell people for a long time , all successful businesses , battles ,wars have only succeeded because they were planned and then executed , the plan has to be a good one , but it is the exection that is the difficult bit

Ian was well aware what the squad of 2010 were getting well before Basils return was announced.

Ourselves.

Correct , complacency , lack of vision , laziness , the only reason we will fail is if we dont make things happen

I agree I can't believe what I'm hearing 'on the streets' and all over the place people are saying we are saved, It beggars belief, I only hope this is the end of the new beginning and not the beginning of the new end.

who said top 4 we r lucky there is no relegation next season or we would be up the creek with the team we are goin to ave

we will only have the team we can afford and for people to think we will be anywhere near the top is crazy

If Sheffield and Batley can get top four and win cups I see no reason why we can't next year. Team spirit is priceless
