Quote ="Leythersteve"Well the seasons pear shaped already. Players seemingly unfit. Uninterested. Coaches clueless. All of them. Fans arguing amongs ourselves. Everyones given up Dereks insulting the paying public and is allegedely leaving. Well. I think that the situation needs grasping. Before its too late. We need Dereks help. One way or the other so. I feel the way forward is to get a fan consortium to hold talks with Derek to find out the solution. Does he stay? Can he find a mate to buy in? The good doc etc. This needs starting soon. Unfortunately I'm not in a position as I am still in hospital with this damned brain tumour but if was fit would be there. Come on Leythers pull together. Before its too late'"
Hi Steve
A positive story for you to hold on to. My wife was diagnosed with brain tumour in June 2014..... It was Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage 4. Median survival of 14 months. She has survived 2 craniotomies, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It's not been easy but she has a strong will to survive. She is not the woman she was but she still has a decent quality of life. I have given up a lot of the things I used to enjoy to be there for her. I didn't expect her to survive so long and,with the benefit of hindsight, didn't need to. As for the rugby I'm massively surprised at what seems to have gone wrong at Leigh. As a Bulls supporter for nearly 50 years I thought I'd seen it all and it seems clear that things must change quickly at the LSV as the move downwards can soon gain impetus.
I wish you the best and hope you can stay positive on the difficult road ahead.
