There is clearly huge discipline issues at the club.

Once more the club is trying their hardest off the field but the lads on it just think they can do what they want when they want.

The tail is wagging the dog and there needs to be a culture change at the club, but that takes time.

The process had to start now though and the club need to put their foot down by setting an example.

Repeat offenders need to be gone, they clearly have no respect for the club.

The tail is wagging the dog.

The only way we change that is by taking a hit on those players refusing to fall in line.

It may affect results short term but never a better opportunity to clear out the ringleaders whilst Leigh are in the league with so little time to prepare for a SL season.

If the club don’t act the culture will never change it will just continue to be a destructive cycle.

Probably quite a lot that you would disapprove of. RL players are not the brightest of lads, and many come from poor backgrounds.

Does culture not come from the top? Are the management too lax in giving players too much leeway?

Yes and too often certain players have been allowed to get away with murder and given a slap on the wrist.

...and it happens time and time again.

Time for some leadership. Get rid of the repeat offenders.

I’d also hope that the players involved not only understand the implications of their actions but also have a word with whichever one of them was stupid or calculated enough, you decide, to upload it to social media for the world to see.

It’s not Oliver Twist...... they are professional sportsman who earn 3/4 times more than a lot of people, especially that fat blob fifita. No excuse. They bring bad news to the club, the city and themselves.

Very easy to say when it’s not you having to do it.

What if management sacks the lot and we get relegated. Who do you think the fans would blame?

It is but it needs to be done.

Some of these players are our biggest earners and contributed very little on the pitch for a couple of seasons now.

Leigh are still massive favourites to go down even it all players were sacked who are in the clip.

I’m not saying sack all of them but I would suggest at least 1 needs to go and others need to be demoted from leadership positions.

If you do what you have always done, you will get what you always got.

We have plenty of options at half and fullback it players want to sulk about getting their wings clipped.

Whilst I think some parts of your answer have merit, you didn’t say who you think the fans would blame if we got relegated having sacked the lot of them?

Quote: Luppylad "Poor old MC and JM in a bad postion again as how to deal with it.surley this can be classed as gross misconduct and all players could therefore be sacked.ive not seen the videos so aint sure who is involved but the names fifita miller gigot and wood keep popping up so can the club afford to sack these players certainty not a postion id like to be in..at very least fine them and strip miller of captaincy.'"


Not sure how long Miller, Wood and Fifita have left on their contract, so for those 3 could be quite costly, if it happened. Maybe for the people at the top to think about when their contracts are up for renewal.

Gigot, however, off contract this year, and two local players more than capable of playing in the halves or at full back, so wouldn't need replacing, and salary could be wiser spent elsewhere

The club in some cases the players in others. It’s not really black and white but I’m sure the club would get most stick because for fans tend to back the players regardless.

I don’t however think that would happen.

We would have time and cap space to plug a few key holes in the squad.

An improvement in culture I think seems an improvement on the pitch, so despite the names associated I don’t believe it would have a detrimental effect on the field.

I agree with a certain one but how do you go about it though? They’re all to blame. Said individual has appeared to be a constant hindrance, trouble maker, Ill-disciplinarian for a while now. Im sure the club would let him go for nowt just to get rid but there doesn’t appear to be too many takers for overweight trouble maker on a massive wedge. He’ll just sit there and pocket it while carrying on the way he does

If this doesn’t constitute gross misconduct I’d be surprised.

Repeat offenders must have had some form of disciplinary action in the past and received warnings.
