"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg



I feel desperately sorry for you guys, the supporters of Leigh. You were unfortunate to go down last year and I thought you added a fair bit to SL. Your fans travelled in good numbers and created a great atmosphere most weeks. Just this year's start was chronic. Derek was causing mayhem on social media. However, since the end of February he has stayed off. Coincidence or not but results massively improved. I actually think prior to this week you as a club were more sustainable in SL than at least 2 other sides. I genuinely wish you well with the future. It may take a couple of years but you can bounce back.

Hopefully selling some players now will steady the ship and you can have a sustainable part time or hybrid side in the championship.That would be the best outcome by the looks of it. If it’s worse than that and a fresh start in L1 then it’s still not the end of the world. Leigh will be back. In some ways the ride back can be enjoyable in a weird kind of way. Best of luck.

Are they selling or just offloading to reduce wage bill?

Either way they need to steady the ship.

Don't think i'm biased... ...i'm just very narrow minded!!!!!!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_28029.jpg



Quote: Ste100Centurions "Nice words BIEL ....

Please don't take my £5 comment as a side swipe as it was never meant to be, just a post I saw on Facebook !

I really enjoy both the banter & the game day experience with Bulls fans & a small consolation (if we are not relegated by Administration) is that we will enjoy these games again next year, that + it would be nice to see some away fans & a 7K + crowd or 9K at Odsal !'"


No worries, I never read it as a swipe so all good.

Totally agree, loved the couple of seasons in the same league and looked for the fixture first. Great stadium facilities, great atmosphere in the ground, pubs right on the doorstep for before and after the game... whats not to like!!!

Hopefully it doesn't come to administration or worse.

Admin would be stay in championship with points penalty (-6?), worse (liquidation) should be relegation but start on 0 points, but hey, this is the RFL so they could come up with whatever they want!!!

Releasing highly paid players is a sensible (but sad) move, but you have 3 high earners (I imagine) who don't seem to going anywhere, namely the 2 Keiron's and Anderson. I would imagine they have a combined pay package of approx. £200k, not sure how that's going to play out.

YEAH, good point and they are all contributing factors to the clubs demise especially that Cunningham fellow, it was essentially his team sourced and signed, he's as much use as a button on a sock

I blame Cunningham more than the others because he brought him in half way through sl and look at results since he came to the club,he's the one that told Derek last year's team didn't deserve the money they was on and he's was the one that picked this year's squad..look at saints team when he was in charge they was shocking and he had long as defence coach eusa_naughty.gif they got rid then suddenly saints started to play attacking and winning,purtill came in at Leigh and told Cunningham to stay away from the coaching and suddenly we started to play attacking rugby and winning

Cunningham needs to go and the new owners will make that there priority if they have any sense. Purts and Anderson for me are the right men for the job next season we need everyone to get behind the club I think a few dark days before it all comes good again
