Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr "Reynolds is not Warrington standard, however it is difficult to be over critical of Ben. He is on a mere fraction of the £100K+ Hutchison is alleged to be being paid.

First one to leave SHOULD be Cunningham. If I was Director of Rugby, with Leigh sitting 6th, I would have resigned long ago. I really would.'"

I submited this on another forum:-

one name that has not been mentioned in the poor form of the Leigh team this season is Keiron Cunningham, he was roundly credited and took all the plaudits before the season commenced as the 'Director of Rugby' who identified, sourced and signed all the 19 new players the majority with either SL or NRL expierience and presumably also showing near the entire squad of 2017 the door.

Observation about KC, does he really know what he is doing, he was quite rightly given all the accolades as a player, but his contribution to the clubs he has served since hanging his boots up is somewhat to be desired, I don't think I would be wrong in saying it marks his CV as "not suitable

Leigh to win challenge cup before 2020 Leigh to reach Grand Final by 2022 Derek to get a queens honour (mbe) by 2025 Oh Leigh oh Leigh oh Leigh //www.tipsterste.fabpage.com/ [quote="Michael_Ward"]Ricky Bibey = cack. He's no good - the lad is huge but couldn't bust through a wet paper bag. He was crap at Wigan, he was crap here, and christ knows why Saints then signed him. Predictably, he was crap there as well. He's now where he belongs, in NL1.[/quote]:White Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif



Quote: Harry Stottle "Really, honestly, looked something like what?, or defence us now far far worse than when Paul Rowley was in charge, and if you compare the attacking structures under Rowley this lot couldn't hold a candle to them.'"


No one's on about rowleys teams , on about jukes & purtill. We improved after neil had left & if we had replaced neil sooner and not the whole team we wouldn't be in this position

Quote: GUBRATS "As I said ' dumb ' rugby both tactically and individually

Yesterday and last week [ even the match at Batley ] the gameplan is fairly simple , wear down your opposition , they are part time RL players , retain the ball , force them to defend and they will collapse
In our last 2 matches when the requirement was to build up our points differential , did we once form a scrum to stop the clock ? the longer you have to score points the more points you can score
Not rocket science
we also display a complete lack of imagination at times , just once yesterday did we ' load ' one side at a scrum , Swinton did notice but still left themselves a man ' down ' on the open side , we shifted the ball quickly , and scored'"


Actually, the players were incapable of implementing that part of the plan. We have often been unable to retain possession (completion rate of about 35% in the 2nd half yesterday) or create pressure through repeat sets. On the rare occasions we create a repeat set - often through a penalty - we frequently drop the ball, or chuck it forward, on the first tackle! I can't believe that's the coach's fault!

Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr "Bradford had to play us 3 times in 2016, Featherstone Rovers in 2015.

It was only fair a loop fixture pitted FT v FT.

We simply just not been good enough. That's it.'"


Let's face it, if we'd played Toulouse, or Fax, or Fev three times we'd probably have lost the third game against them too!

I believe if we can sell players, and receive decent transfer fees, we should do it now. (unless there's prize money of about £500k for winning the Championship Shield! icon_wink.gif )

Not sure we're in a position to demand a fee, more a case of reducing the bills icon_sad.gif

Well, many will be contracted for next season, so a fee might apply. Of course, we daren't let too many go, as we still have Shield fixtures to fulfil.

This morning's trade press still reckons that Brendan Elliott is coming over! Perhaps we can sell him, too? icon_wink.gif

I know they are contracted, but the point I'm trying to make is that we would be happy to release them if someone came in for them, to release the wage bill for next season

I do not expect DB for 1 minute to carry the difference, why should he - therefore we cannot sustain the planned budget. Getting salaries off gives us a chance of avoiding the inevitable

I do agree Col. It's just that I want to 'have my cake, and eat it'!

Not withstanding the circumstances that brought Jack Owen to Leigh, to be fair to the lad he has performed better than most this season.

Back to KC though, he is King Midas in reverse, everything he touches turns to stone, get rid of him immediately.

Quote: wire-quin "Mata'utia to SL by Friday HKR, Cas Hudds in for him'"


Having players in the Championship Shield such as Pete and Hutchison on weekly salaries of £2k each for the next 7 weeks makes no sense for all parties.

Sad but that's the harsh reality of a squad that sadly has not delivered ( Pete apart, when on the pitch)

Of course Toulouse, London and Halifax still have to win on Sunday but everyone is a realist. Our fate is sealed, make no mistake.

Derek and the board hopefully will hold an end of season review of ALL staff and be judged accordingly. A bad review and out you go.
