Hampshire doesn't know whether he's coming or going, the kid from Hull may as well have stayed at Hull and the fans are all saying what a great coach Jukes is. It's hilarious ! You couldn't write it. Oh sorry, I just have.

Do we need to bring someone in?Yeah, a Good Doctor and a couple of Nurses.Charlie knows.

See you at Salford on Sunday,

Mr C , I'm not criticising Neil Jukes he deserves our full backing! He was responsible and made the decisions which got us into this league.There are some, who couldn't wait for an excuse to criticise him, for whatever reason, I'm not one of them!!

Well DB said in his programme notes that Neil and the coaching team had his unequivocal support, I think that should go for us fans too !!

Cmon Keith, myself I don't know many who had criticised Jukesy or his coaching methods,but I draw a line at your words,Neil does not deserve it , he's a nice bloke with a great Family, so are my Brother - in Laws but I wouldn't make them Coaches of the Centurions.Again Jukesy is having a bit of bad luck injury wise,but that's part and parcel of RL injuries are a Lottery and we are having it rough at the moment, but we soldier on.

In fact if you take your boots to the interview with you, he might even let you play.

So Neil had no influence on the signings - very worrying comments Mr C

The problem is that Neil and his team ( That may or may not be a clue ) weere identifying a FT squad for the final year of a 3 year plan to get out of the Championship. We did it year 2, with players already signed up for year 3 !

In May/June last year when new players where nailing their colours to our mast, they were doing so knowing that there was every possibility they would be plying their trade in the Championship for 12 months.

As were both sides.

Yes , Neil probably wanted Cooper Cronk as first choice 7.

Neil identifies and provides a list of players in each position and labels them A, B and C.

We go for A who then gets offered more money elsewhere, so we move for B, who does not want to play for Leigh as a top 8 club is making an offer simultaneously , so we need move for C who probably does not want to sign for Leigh, but has no other options but does want to remain in or play in SL bottom line, so after a little wheeling and dealing over a few weeks and us being played off, eventually signs on the dotted line. Neil's third choice for the position. ( Neil's not Derek's)

Then we look at the next position and the same process then kicks in for the remaining 12 or so positions.

You seem to be a pretty reliable source of information? I'm happy to accept your explanation

Well Mr C, we are in anything other than worrying times, I've watched this mob since I was a kid in 1954 and I can assure you these are not worrying times!
I would advise our fans to embrace our position in Super League and fully enjoy it along with your friends and family.
We've waited a long time to reach this standard and, our facilities and Match day experience are equal to any and, better than most!
We have to remember that we can no longer win every game, (like in the Championship), even the best side Castleford, have lost a couple and they have not been bedevilled by injuries ,yet!!
I personally, have come to really enjoy the LSV experience and visiting Cas and Wakefield this season, has only confirmed my appreciation of the facilities we now enjoy watching our team!!
I'm sure we will come good again before this season ends, until then, enjoy the experience!!

We have injuries ( Plenty) and we will deal with it. 100% agreed with you Kirkhall, but the club is where we want it to be and that is dining at the top table.
