So who out of the other candidates do you believe were more ready than us, especially with the uncertainty of Covid



And a lot can happen between now and the end of the season - relegation is by no means a certainty

no other candidates but us neither. you are right that relegation isnt a certainty but its not looking good is it. what do think we should do from here now.

Well I think with the squad we have we have wins in us without a doubt - the starting 17 especially, whether we ever see that is another matter.



Looking at the other teams we don’t have enough wins in us not to finish 12th - if we can find a bit more quality, 1/2s especially we may give ourselves a chance



Elliot at FB could be a major factor- took a gamble with him, hope it pays off, backline of him Thornley, Sau, Gelling and Russell is not a bad line up at all

Just to add weight to my argument that creative player's are only has good as those around him, do you by any chance watch the NRL?

There is a lad playing in the half's for Sydney Rooster's completely and totally unrecognisable from the one who played at Leigh for the whole of the '18 season namely Drew Hutchinson, simply because his temmates are on the same wavelength, those around him at Leigh were way off the mark same as with Kev Brown.

were from

I reckon it will be like SL 2005, when we won just 2 games.

We applied to accept what was a tough brief and the difficulty may be the longer term implications as we will be judged on it even though the playing field was never level. Lack of prep time and lower funding. If we were given 2 years for taking this on that would have been better but things stacked against us from start. Saying that think with the 5 first choice player missing we would compete. But more players needed of better caibre needed to cover injuries. Where thes may come from who knows, possibly some mid season opportunities but will it be too late for 2021?

Anyone who thought it would be any different was deluding themselves, I did not want Leigh to be "The Chosen One" from the outset and I could not understand why the club and in particular Mr Beaumont wanted to put so much effort into securing the application if he had no intention of vastly improving the squad to compete in a much higher standard than the 20 assembled players to compete in the Championship.

I’ll ask the question too a business man. Would you have taken it on? The only way I would have taken it on is with prior knowledge of no relegation.

We need to remove the embarrassing superleagueready hash tag from our Twitter feed before fans from other clubs pick up on it and use it as a stick to beat us with.

That was when we had Leigh colts and Wiggin weren’t poaching all our youngsters. Note they always pass off players like Manfredi as their own.

Well, if I were Leigh, all my effort would be on improving that pathetic defence, and stopping the panic in attack. Get the defence solid, and the attack will take care of itself.

They need to reproduce that fantastic effort they gave in the very 1st half against Wiggin. They need to be fired up for every game. That is up to the coaching team. Also need experienced half backs and a full back. We just appear to have a lot of crocked players at the moment. It was never going to be easy at such short notice and reduced funding. Also, the other SL teams had plenty of game time last season. Most of our players had none. Hence the reason they are all yards ahead of us. Toronto lost all 6 games. It takes time to gel but it is time we don't have. Going to be extremely difficult to pick up a win, but play with pride and effort and the supporters will always be with you.
