Obviously, what Ian has achieved has been outstanding and his popularity with the Leigh public is fantastic.

But, how about this......
maybe Ian moving on is all about the next era of our club and its time to let go of his apron strings and find our next path in the life of Leigh Centurions.

In some sense Ian is a somewhat part of our past - moving from HP to the LSV, being close to Arthur Thomas etc etc.

The club is going through huge change and some we will like, but we will get others that we don't - and we can't pick and choose unfortunately.

What is impressing me about Trevor Barton is how he is trying to reach out and be open with the the Leigh public.
This also means the future of the club is more in our hands - there aren't people to blame anymore. The fans will get a club that they are prepared to pay for but the club has to produce an offering that we value.

Any thoughts?

How about our club encouraged Ian to find a club to get the payroll down and nobody is talking to any players about next year so they havent a clue where they will be playing, and their agents are touting them everywhere.
WTF is going on, we need some communication from them soon

I'm with you mate, WTF is going on?!

Dark days ahead. AGAIN......

I have a feeling that someone is coming in at the end of the season to take over and he and his team are going to take the club forward beyond our wildest dreams !!!!!

I wish I had

well i hope someone is comin but at this rate he will need a whole new team cause all the players will ave contracts with other cllubs if we dont move soon

They should hang on till the season ends and see what happens...............LOYALTY is a big thing and they either want to play for Leigh or they just want to be at a club that will pay them the most............... if thats the case then good-bye I say as we want players that want to be here.

Loyalty doesn't pay the bills.

But they have jobs as well to pay the bills and some I bet are on a lot more than me............. then add their pay from rugby and you will find they earn more than you think.

loyalty does that include the coach seems not

Most clubs at our level wont be making rash contract decisions as yet and I'm sure many of the playing staff will want to see what happens and stay at Leigh if possible.

I do know this. "your damned if you do and damned if you don't" I have heard many a statement on here and probably about this time of the season to. Things like why is the club unsettling the team by making statements about players leaving. Why has the coach decided to tell such a player he is not going to be involved next season just before the grand final Blah blah blah. Now we are calling for whats going on, tell us now when the club is actually being silent over players at a very important time for us.

Some of you lot need to make your bloody minds

Correct
