Nope! If we get rid of the lot and start again with better players we'll need a Saudi consortium to pay the wage bill! Just trying to get a stronger side together that the present players will aspire to lift their game to the level of some new signings! In all honesty, it boils down to pride in wearing the Leigh shirt. If the team did that then we wouldn't be in the predicament we are today!

Pride will only get you so far

To be honest I don't think that many of them are on big contract most play related I would guess

There are ways to clear people out without paying them up

I take your point PL but Id say there is zero chance of 8 of those players from this year making next years 17.

Which players would you include then Ste??

Possibly in the starting line up :-

Stuart Donlan
Chris Hill
Mick Nanyn

In the 17 possibly

Above 3 plus
James Taylor
Ian Mort

the rest would be in the squad if possible.
James Taylor

Not convinced on defence yet pal, but willing to let him prove me wrong! Cost us at least two tries last weekend.

Agree with that. He may be good/OK in attack and a very good goalkicker but at times he is woeful in a defensive situation. The lad has a lot to learn to come anywhere near the standards of a certain Mr. Neil Turley! He needs to think and be more aware of the game in defence.

He cost us an important try at fev by not kicking the ball dead. A good full back as to be fearless and descisive, not two words I would use to describe Morty.

Know where you're coming from Ste, but cast your mind back to Stuart Donlan, as a young full back. He used to stand on the tryline to make his tackles and attacking players just fell over him. Under Millward, he developed spectacularly. This might not have been down to Ian, it could have been Stuart himself, or his dad, Steve, of course.

I guess the point I am making is that Ian's coaching might just bring Mort on, (because he does have some talent) big time too.

Agreed again pal thats why he possibly be in the 17 and squad. He has potential.

He needs the Shaun Briscoe mentality and looks to be a top F/B

Agreed, I'm sure Millward will bring him on leaps and bounds, he will only get better with time and experience. Defending as a full back is difficult and learning how to defend as a full back and which positons to get into comes with time and experience, you only need to watch how natural Donlan's defensive game is at full back now through the years of experience.

mort plays with pride in his shirt pity some of the others don,t follow suit

Is Morty staying though?
