Quote: lobbyman "Didnt think we needed him back im the first place,i think morty should have been given more time and johnny pownall should of been given more game time.'"


Agree on all counts. Donlan did play some good stuff while he was here, no question about that, but at that time, with good backup in Morty & Pownall developing, I would have persevered with them and spent the money on a different position myself.

And speaking of FB's coming through - whatever happened to Dollin? Wasn't he supposed to be the next one after Morty?

Stus a nice bloke , i helped with his Testimonial, but cant say im to bothered about him leaving , the lad could barely walk after games last season ,so thanks Stu , but life goes on ,Leigh Centurions will survive and in time Prosper again , i think Pownall, or who ever gets the Full Back shirt next season , will get my support ,LONG LIVE LEIGH CENTURIONS .

No I've not been here for a while because to be quite honest my love for the game is dying because of the RFL are ruining the game!!

We are nothing but a feeder club for Super League....FACT!! Proof with all our best players being taken by SL clubs. I don't blame the players they have to do whats right for themselves as it is their career but the club must of known we were in a mess for a while, so why not start fund raising earlier last season and put a plan in place instead of putting all our eggs in one basket trying to get to the Grand Final!?

Look at the debate in football now....They will NEVER get rid of promotion and relegation as it means too much too clubs in lower leagues, at least they have the hope of maybe one day getting in the top league!

What chance do we have now seeing as within a 10 mile radius already there are W!gan, Saints, Warrington, W!dnes, Salford!! There is no room for, as they class us, little Leigh!!

It kills me saying this, I've been watching us since I was 7 years old (20 years) and I will ALWAYS be a Leyther through and through but unless the game changes, AND QUICK, I can't see us being here in 10 years time!!

JUST MY OPINION BEFORE YOU ALL START WITH THE 'STOP BEING NEGATIVE, MOANING ETC'

Theres only one answer to your last post Dezy, as you can see we have all been here before icon_wink.gif some here longer than others , but we are all searching for the same reason to carry on ,you however must be strong and must find another goal to reach or you will become very unsettled in your approach with what youv say , i feel you could easily achieve this by going to the other sideand furthermore , be happy.

Stuart has been a very good player who has served the club well, but his best playing days are behind him. Good luck to him in his new role.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg

Been reading debate from a distance - i live in Kent!
Leigh success is always followed by a crisis - its our history, but the answer is usually local lads coming through, so thanks to those departed, and I look forward to new coach and more local lads to bridge
the gap . Keep posting the local news - we exiles need it!
