| Quote: Bent&Bongser "As we're speaking of Betfred (and trying to link back to the OP), what odds is Freddy offering on Higham completing 25+ minutes on the pitch? Is he match fit? Has he been running on with leaden "magic sponges" and "heavy water" bottles to keep himself in shape?
Joking aside - is he up to it from the off?'"
25 minutes of Higham on the pitch at the moment is required. If its the only 25 minutes all season,it will do its job. Who's idea it was,must be thinking the same.

| I'm sure we will see a wholehearted committed performance from Mickey however, we need the sixteen other Leigh players to do likewise and then, we might pick up a win

| People asking what happens if KP gets the job full time. I’ll wager in 3 seasons we're back to this same square. Yes he’s a great assistant coach. But he’s no knowledge of getting teams where they need to be. There’s a reason some coaches go years as assistant before making the move to first team. Let KP get experience at a club who doesn’t have such high ambitions as us. Let him earn his stripes at somewhere like Barrow. The best English coach in the game Powell spent how many years at Feb learning the game and what it takes. Leigh need someone who can come in. Turn it round and get a team promoted. Purtill like many coaches linked don’t have that experience.

There's only two coaches that can claim to know how to get promoted in this system, and one of those has just left.
If we see improved performances and results, then KP should be given the job.

| Higham is just a sticking plaster on a wound that needs stitches. Yes, his enthusiasm and spirit are a welcome return but he is only part of the answer. Neither are KP or KC the answer. The answer is a proven coach at SL/NRL level. And I am sick of hearing that Jukes got us into SL. Yes, he was the coach but it was the players, who were treated so shabbily afterwards, who got us into SL. Players like Ridyard, Brierley, McNally,Higson, Beswick, Hopkins, etc.... A monkey could have got us into SL with the team and spirit we had at the time. Jukes got us relegated and then got us into the position we now find ourselves.

Yup, plus the huge budget and influx of additional players, (one of which being Reni Maitua who has signed for Toronto this last week), and didn't Jukes also keep Rowley's systems for the most part in 2016?

No,most of my weekends off fall on away games which I attend. I've booked this Sunday off as an holiday, and will be at the Shay weekend after.
I introduced my daughter and future son in law to the game 3 years ago,who still attend when I'm unavailable.

Atomic, I'm sure you and every Leigh fan attend as many matches as you possibly can,because one fan attends more games than another doesn't make a better of more loyal fan.
Myself, I'm retired and able to attend every game ,if my Finances and health allowed it possible,for me every fan who attends every game should be regarded as a fan.
Secondly I've heard it said we as Leigh fans shouldn't expect to win every game ,why not, I expect us to win every game,at the start of the Season we were 1 - 4 on to finish top of this League it still may happen,the Bookies are seldom wrong with odds,the reasons behind their conclusions were our player recruitment, for me the Coaching and playing staff have been very disappointing,which is why the fans have reacted in the way they have, no surprise there, it's all about expectations, I'm sure Rochdale ,and Barrow, and Swinton fans don't expect their teams to win every week.I expect us to beat Fev on Sunday and will be disappointed if we don't, it's how it is.
