He's done it our Leigh forum, at first pretended he be a Centurions fan....now he just 'trolls' now & then.

Those of us who warned of dire recruitment and shambolic management of the club in the winter were derided on here,maybe not so much now bottom 4 is already a reality before Easter is done. The statement from Stone is a lost the dressing room one, once that has happened you don't have many places to go. After the next 3 winless games (probably) the question will be is he the right man to lead us in the middle 8s. Without signing 2 good props which won't happen it will be a tough task for anyone.

Thanks for your contributions .

You are now banned.

Go annoy someone else's fans

His comments suggest he's hit rock bottom and almost a sign of a man ready for some time off!
It's hard just to blame the coach but reality is, it lands on him.
IF he's lost the dressing room then fine, but we have enough experienced leaders out there to game manage on the pitch. Danny Brough hissy fits wether he thought it was justified or not are not acceptable and quite possibly went a long way into losing us that game.

For me it's goodbye Rick Stone. Thanks for your time but you have shown absolutely nothing so far to suggest much improvement in game management.

I think the root of our problems run a lot deeper than the coach.

The failed journalist reappears always at clubs not going too well. Ignore hell find another page to troll

Nice one DG can't you ban him across all boards . PLEEEZE

Regards , EW

didnt know you was a giants fan all of a sudden!!

thewlis yes,... wanted him out along time ago

as for stone, like he says the players need to take on some responsibility.... hes not dropping the ball 18 times and handing the games to the oppo

I honestly find it hard to blame Stone. A few people saying he hasn't brought anything to the club. But until they can do the basics, what can he actually implement? They are super league players, if they can't catch and pass then I don't see what Rick can do to have a positive influence on this team.

For me, the main issue is Brough. Every single game he comes up with massive negative plays. How many times does he do the stupid kicks off the outside of his boot, or those cross field hook kicks. One minute were attacking, then he gives away a 7 tackle set and the other team go up the field and score. Add his poor discipline and bad passing decisions to that. And now his average goal kicking.
For me the forwards are doing their job, the young kids are doing as much as they can. So, for me the blame lies with Brough completely.

alot of people are feeling the same way about brough

We all just going to ignore the kick that set up our first try (and the brains to play it out quickly on a free play), and his role in 2 of our other 3 tries??

His attitude is off, but wouldn't most have that issue playing in such an inept, poorly structured team with the talent he has??
He's not the player he was, and his goal kicking is poor this year, but to suggest the 'blame lies with him completely' is way off.

Plus, realistically, what options do we have?! Gaskell is ok in the halves, Brierley won't step within 5 metres of a line due to fear of taking a shot and just slows play down by paddling the ball on. And both of their defence is woeful, 10 mins without brough every game would be preferable to defending with the equivalent of 11!

will have to bring ellis back next season then! try him with gaskell if not brierley

then again if brough goes then we have cash to play with....
