We are based in a borough of the biggest RL club in England and one of the biggest most famous in world RL. If thats not enough were 15/20mins from Warrington and Saints and also Salford.
Not trying to be funny just realistic.

| Quote: Roman Officer "icon_rolleyes.gif Good job HKR didn't think this way
Its not a case of negative thinking my whole point was if WE LEIGH CENTURIONS are to be successful and ever join the top table we have to find a way like we seem to be doing to be self sufficient and beat the odds.
If this means being a feeder type club by finding and producing young talent both as coaches and players and we have success on the pitch along the way then so be it.
It has to be better than the tryed and failed method of supplimenting the income with a rich owner and throwing money at over the hill players and coaches who have come for one last pay day.

Couldnt have put that any better cheers Matt

Its a shame when people like you accept that leigh are now just a feeder club/stepping stone for the likes of Salford,Castleford Wakefield etc.
In fact we might as well just pack it in.

| Don't talk wet John. For the near 20 years I've supported Leigh, Salford, Cas and Wakefield have generally always been the league above us (and sometimes more) so why wouldn't a player or coach find a move there more attractive? I'm not saying it won't change at some point in the future, and that's something we've got to look to achieve long-term, but it's hardly a recent phenomenon, is it?

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.
[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

| Why do some people have to resort to personal insults when somebody has a different opinion to theirs? I want LCRLFC to be the best they can If that's in the championship fine, if it's in SDL great.

It might never change, but that doesn't mean we stop trying to grow as a club. As I said, they've been at least a league above us for the majority of the past 20 years so it's not unexpected. It wasn't exactly a long time since Halifax was seen as a step up from Leigh, was it?

Cant understand it myself.
Sport is all about opinions im just prefering to look at the sitaution logically and realistically and not living in a dream world.
