he clealy not got a clue what he is doing playing same under performing players every week maden not had a good game all year stewart way passed it donlan not fit stanton 3 trys not good by any standards hobson useless maconal can only pass one way yet we have players in reserves who are outstanding reay dollin meekin and one or two others must be given a run in 1st team and drop this lot or better still get bout rowley now

Maybe its the team or should i say SOME of the team that hav'nt got a clue you can only work with the tools you have got .Maybe Rowley should try a couple of the young lads i mean they cant do any worse.

A bad tradesman will always blame his tools

And take his dad with him

What if said tools are rusty though you need bright and shiny impliments to do a good job and some of the TOOLS in the Leigh squad are not are they

Unfortunately I think we're stuck with all the "TOOLS" until the end of the season.

Need to win 3 of the remaining home games to stand a chance of staying up. Yes it'll be hard but the players have got to knuckle down.

IMHO I think all the stops need pulling out to get IM over on the next flight. If he could save us from relegation this season it would be a great feather in his cap before the new season. After all, The Raiders know he is leaving and I'm sure they have a replacement in mind already. Furthermore, they'd probably release him to save money as it is late in the season in NRL. It shouldn't cause any problems in their preparation for their remaining games. If it was that big of a problem, they wouldn't have released him from his contract for next year!

I get him over now i say

Dont they finish their season before us ?

He would still have the same players to work with though if he came now or could he maybe get some loan players till the end off the season?

We should have the "williams " money available let use it

I can see you're point but Millward is due to come for next season so get rid of Rowley and appoint who? We'll have to make do and hope we get enough points to stay up. 7 games left with 5 at home. We need everyone to get behind the team now so next home game v Sheffield is massive and a must win.

ps Ever heard of punctuation?

Only 6 really as us,Gateshead and Batley all have to play Donny

Out of those 6 we need 2 wins and a couple of bonus points , to be safe we need to be going into the next last match at Gateshead with 6 points on them

Everyone is doing their utmost to keep us up, give people time and if this season has taught us nothing else, it will have taught us we have no given right to remain in this league!

Give people time???? they have had all season and the rugby has been poor!!!

Seriously make no mistake these are concerning times and the one thing we do not have is time. Paul Rowley has simply been unable to provide the new impetus we would expect from a new coach. He has also been a part of the coaching set up presiding over two of Leigh's worse seasons for some considerable time. Quite frankly IMO he is not up to the job so the burning question is how far are we prepared to persevere before we act accordingly [ithis[/i season.. I therefore would suggest the following course of action in order of preference.

1) Return Neil Kelly to sole responsibility of first team affairs
2) Appoint a care taker coach in the interim.
3) Recognise the work Neil Jukes has undertaken with the reserves and promote him.

99) Appoint Darren Abram until the end of the season.
100) Persevere with Paul Rowley all the way to Championship 1

at this point in the season, we could recruit Wayne Bennett and it wouldn't make much difference.

We have to be good enough to stay up with what we have.

Agreed. Could do with Cheshire Fireworks doing a decent deal of numerous rockets to be shoved up numerous ar$es ahead of the Sheffield game. Let's just hope that the Nines doesn't become a 'bonding weekend'!

apoint shandy bass as caretaker coach i think even he could see hobbo doesnt warrant the water carriers shirt let alone anything else...

In all seriousness.....Rowley is awful at reserves on sat everyone and i mean everyone was asking how hobbo keeps getting picked??? are you scared of the big bad prop Paul??? you must be either that or he `s got something on you????

this one point alone proves not up to it (thats without the various other shocking decisions the "coach" makes)

BUT ....millward in and job for life back to assistant coach????? how does he do it??? wish i could get a job like that????

Do you know what. I openly said that Paul should not be our head coach, but what I am reading on here is nothing short of disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourselves. A lad that has had nothing but the club on his plate should not be treated like this on here. I really wish the team would get behind him now and stay in this league. How can you lot turn on a Leyther like that? We are not Pie Eaters.

Well said that man Paul is an out and out Leyther and always will be lets get behind him and the team and maybe we can get out of this mess.

No whats disgusting is a guy who is relying on the fact thats he`s a Leyther that everything will be ok????
Its a very fine line between hero and zero?????
Paul was and always will be one of the best hookers this club as ever had !!!!!!!

BUT,,,aka John Woods that doesnt mean they will be good coaches?!?!?

And being a TRUE leyther means diddly we are sinking fast .....and if hes not up to it hes not up to it ...thats that?!?!?!?

I just hope I'm not in a tight spot or a sinking ship with you.

Then we are without any doubt going down.

Do we have no money at all available to get loan signings or a short term contract player whose season is over in SL , or ar all the doors on dealing now closed

They were obviously still open with Rooney going to Barrow. Question, considering our desperate need for a recognised half back did we consider him, were we outbid 'again' for him. Or maybe he didn't even consider us due to the amateurish and comical goings on at management level which has made us a laughing stock this and for several seasons prior to this.

I understand that theres one player we were going to sign for this season and next season, and both times, at the last minute he has pulled out due to undisclosed 'goings on' at the top.
