Not sure how well he got on with Basil tho? Paul was at Atherton St Georges junior school last week and was quite a pleasant and friendly chap!
He did say he was enjoying retirement and the work hes doing for the Saints.

Can't be that because we dont have the backing. What we do have now is a facillity and a coach that can attract players that will get us to to the places we were when IM was here before. It was great seeing a team on the back foot not knowing were the next pass was going ( even the wayward ones) and making yards.

I've never seen so many runners looking for the ball in one play, I even got confused myself

Dont under estimate the chairman, he played a leading role in getting the likes of Newlove, Scully and Sullivan to name but a few to Knowsley Road. He has complete faith in Ian and I'm sure he will back him like no other Leigh coach has EVER had the backing!

Totally agree, I don't think AT has more faith in any coach and we the fans certainly don't at this time so it would be the perfect time for AT to invest heavily if he is going to do so. Providing we can get out of the mess we currently find ourselves in there should be very exciting times ahead I feel.

| Problem being is that its hardly an invesment, and if it is what chance getting his money back? He's already into the club for a large amount of money and he must know its like throwing it down a big black hole, perhaps the new corporate group will take some financial pressure off him, perhaps even a new push for LISA membership and lottery?
Maybe even a time for the trust idea to be relaunched for those that can't seem to belong to LISA for one reason or another.

Your right Fred but apart from the Rhinos the other 22 or so chairman are throwing it in the same black hole!

| Thats no excuse though mate, the game will end up (and it would seem with the RFL's approval) being owned by 12 or so clubs (yes I know it happening now but it will get worse) I really do fear for the sport as a whole, the contract system as it is is killing cubs, and yes I know a player has to get what he can out of a short career, and whilst clubs are prepared to pay inflated contracts well....
And the next step is SL clubs using the lower divs to be feeding grounds and nurseries without giving them financial compensation, the whole sport should be turned on its head and most of the money ploughed into grass roots, but greed prevails and it will never happen.

Your right Fred,
Why the RFL dont want to build in the heartlands before running off to other countries is beyond me. Next season should be really interesting because I think possibly Fax, us and Widnes will play in front of bigger crowds than at least 3 SL clubs oh and have better stadia!

Already signed up at Fax for next 2 seasons.
Would guess at Larder if he's not wanting to retire

| Quote: Tipster Ste "MG???'" Those of you who have sad lives who trawl back through my posts might remember I said this lad had potential and said we should keep him. At the time someone posted he wanted £20000 a season.
We couldn,t pay him that but I have seen him play twice this seaon and I still cannot understand why he is not a Non relegation league player.
He is quicker now he,s always on the shoulder of the player with the ball and now we,d have to pay a lot more to get him back.

Over 50 years of pain,pleasure,frustration,joy,heartache and ecstasy that supporting Leigh has given me but I would not swop it.: |

Ste,its simple why they don't worry about grassland RL,Sky are only interested in the length of the current contract and what does or does not happen 5 / 10 years down the line is no concern.
I'm sick of saying this but unless "real" fans stand up and be counted we will get trod on for ever more.Every pub in Leigh,Fax., Widnes ,Barrow and every fan of these clubs should cancel their Sky subscription and when they do it tell them why.To co-ordinate this on one day and leak it to the press would I think be pretty powerful, but unfortunately I know I'm wasting my time, as we are a very lethargic nation at present.
