Anyone get the feeling we will be lucky to make the top 4 next season ?
As it stands we have no Head Coach & not enough player's to start a game.

Ste , I’m trying to be positive , I think we already have a Coach , and he will be named soon , I’m worried it’s Marshall though , I think we will have a team to compete and be up there .Hopefully .

It feels like the same old story is being repeated once again. Losing our best players, late start to recruitment, missing the best available players, delaying announcement of signings and so it goes on. Let’s hope for the announcement of some head turning names soon, building confidence that we can hit the ground running, and challenge for the top, Having the good doctor on board would give a real boost to confidence.

And I hope its NOT Lamb.

Thats doing the rounds, and Chester is the Shepherd !!!

It’s Lam without the B..

Not happening. Lam is named.. The good doc sits at home and watches. Never to be seen again.
Did you actually think Mr Beaumont would put Leigh in jeopardy?
.
The club requires stability not head turning names. Looks like everything is going to plan. Unless of course your wisdom can out weigh Chester.

Avoiding the fact that we have Leigh fans on the Fax message board saying they will walk this league, Im actually surprised that Beaumont left recruitment so late. It does really look like he had pinned his hopes on a last minute SL reprieve when in fact he should have been planning for this season from around 7 or 8 games in. As soon as the deadline passed where he could have talked to players he should have been all over it yet all we hear is how Leigh have struggled because some of the players that have left they didn't even talk to until they had signed for other clubs. That said Im sure Leigh will get a team on the field that will make the top 6 and be really competitive I just think they may get a surprise just how far Fev are in front of them

Today I was informed (by the same fella who told me about Leigh signing Anthony Gelling before it was official) that Joel Tomkins is set to retire and not play for us next season.

He should be part of the training staff . His experience would be second to none.

Your moderator should control that situation. If not simply report the posts. Recruitment isn’t late, we still have visa issues. Chris Chester is now head of RL not Mr Beaumont. He recruits. So let’s get away from the who should speak to who scenarios.

Fax are building a very good squad but still lack. Arundel a very good signing. But you still lack. As for Leigh in top 6



….You should have gone full time when you had the chance.
What was the excuse for not doing so? A reserve side @50k springs to mind. What did Fax spend those winnings on?

Why would we report the posts of a Leigh fan thinking they will walk the league? Everyone is entitled to their opinion afterall.

Nice little rant though......where to start? Yeah Fax have a good squad and we should aim to make the top 6 and hopefully the top 3. As for Leigh top 6? You don't think you will make the playoffs or you took it as an insult that I said Leigh would make the top 6? As for Fax going full time, they never had the chance to go full time. The money was never enough to make it a viable option and there simply were not the quality of player available to make it worthwhile. Nothing that has happened with any team in the Championship has proved that to be the wrong decision.

Joining the Fire Service apparently.

He's a well known bully on here mate.

Ah right I didn't know. Was only using it as a bit of fun, I know most Leigh fans don't think they will walk the league and are a pretty good bunch. You always get one plonker though.

Where are we at now ?

With Jai Whitbread reported signed for Wakey & the Rectum of Wigan reportedly retiring to become a firefighter, how many left ....... 14 ?

If so this leaves us way behind the 8 ball & possibly facing a disastrous season, especially as we have still not announced a Head Coach ! Furthermore, the new Head Coach *unless it's Chester* will have had zero input into signings.

I've been quite relaxed about our situation up to now but it is worrying. 14 players and no coach one Week before pre season starting! Hopefully we've got players signed up just not announced yet.

We've been linked with Hingano, Hampshire, Ashall-Bott who would all add quality, still a fair bit required beyond that. Still some players from last season who haven't been announced elsewhere.. Gerrard? Logan? Brand back on loan?

Come on Leigh let’s get some names announced!

Caleb Aekins announced this morning. 23yr old fullback who played 7 games for Canberra Raiders last season. I saw him play in one game and he looked good. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/v2/blog/2021/1 ... enturions/

Maybe, hopefully, Chester has been going about his business quickly and quietly and we have more ready to announce when the time is right.

Looks like we are focusing on key positions. What is next priority position wise? Centre, Winger, Loose Forward?

I like this !
Welcome back Keenan.
It has been difficult to stay patient and positive but it looks like things have been moving along in the background. Manchester evening news does say that we will be announcing a coach this week and that Marshall and Lam have been interviewed (always remembering that any journalism piece is not official confirmation of course)

Happy with this if true was looking good late in the season.

Have we started pre season training? If so how many are taking part?
If we are to make further signings why leave it so late? and if we have made further signings and they are taking part in pre-season training, why have they not been announced?

It would be useful to have some communication on the purpose of this news blackout.
