Aspinwall has torn a bicep muscle and should be back in July.

I agree with most of what you say Mo

but the solution is not here , what do we do ?We have no money to make changes , in any personel , if everyone just walks away , we have nothing , im not prepared to let this happen , i want to see exciting rugby ,we all do , but we must go with what we have , we have no choice .

I bet the BOD , Trevor , and Paul and his staff are all feeling as we do this morning , hurt and in pain , looking for answers , they still want the same as we do , as i have said i know you care , as i do it hurts very much , but im not prepared to give up , some of those players are just not up to it , i still think we have a capable Squad though , and would agree about bringing back Nico and giving him a chance . i hope to see you there Friday .

No Charlie, the above mentioned should be [uproviding[/u the answers not looking for them.

I am a believer in anything is possible in business but it is sales driven, not cost driven. I believe our club works on the latter and in business saving money rarely makes money. The solution lies in a completely different strategy based on controlled ambition, spending wisely, Director investment to kick start it and supporter inclusion.
This season has gone, if we can go into pre season with a new board, PG's written off and a new coach we will have a great 2014.
I am in two minds about Friday but, they way I feel, believe I will give most of the season a miss after yesterday to help force the changes we need, as that is all the top table seem to notice.

Reffy you are so right ,hopefully , they will find the answers , and address the problems , its not our job as fans to find the Answers , all im saying is its not going to be easy to find the Answers and Solutions , i hope it can be done though .

I fully expect Paul to go as defensive as possible so I think he will stick with what he's done most of season i.e BB @ 7 etc for what it's worth I'd go for a strong defensive pack two defensive sound centres and runner to chime in from fullback and try to ask them questions. If we sit off these men they will get a real rolll on so it's important we try and complete and kick well and the chase and defensive effort will be key in keeping the shoreline as competitive as possible

As for that little pie eating runt scoring 11 tries pin that up on dressing room wall and all club in 20 quid each before game and bang it on Ryan Brierley to score a hat trick from full back.

Everyone will tackle that bit harder and try and put him through gaps if he gets his nose through line inside opponents he will get over so god knows why he only gets fifteen minutes here and there.

Get Greg mac @7 and ask him to take the line on and make play remember those days when we had scrum halves who did that??? Punished us in a seven jersey for Haven

Just coz Wigan play Tompkins fullback after coming through as a half doesn't mean every good half must play at fullback!!!

I think the BOD and the CEO should call it a day, walk away from the club and leave it to those on here who think they can do a better job. I can't wait to see Mo and Starbug at the helm and I'm sure we'll all be totally in awe of how they manage to bring in 1000's of kids and a stadium full of speccies.

I'm also sure that all those investors who are desperate to put tons of cash into the club will be banging down the doors for a piece of the Leigh pie.

Bring it on.

You need therapy.......Seriously!

Well my personal opinion on your statement is that at least one of those would bring benefits to the club.

Riddy is the best 6 we have and runs the game for us.......the problem is at 7 - Beswick is a 9/13 and is were the problem is. We need someone who can help direct the team around with Riddy......McNally at 7 and Brierley at 1 for me.

I'd go with that but maybe McNally does not want to play at scrum half or it would have been done a few matches ago ?

Play him at six then with Penky at seven and Beswick at nine

We need to make them think twice when we have ball I'm not going to bag riddy but he's not going to worry a SL team as he doesn't have the pace or speed of hands. Riddy can at times slow our attack down.

A stand off needs to have 3 basic things in his game........

1 Take the line on

2 A decent turn of pace


3 Throw out a decent pass under pressure!

You were saying............

But were not a SL club......our league is what matters not SL - McNally at 7 with Penky at 9 (can cover 7).....Beswick at 13 (can cover 9)

Greg and Ryan B both better bets for six IMO and could interchange between six and one with good options at nine Penky could fill the problem seven this season with nico backing up Beswick

Sorry I thought we were discussing a team to play against Wigan on Friday

So who do you play at 7 if Brierley and McNally play 6 and 1?........Penky will do better ay 9 IMO and Beswick will never be a HB - he`s a 9/13.

As we've got three good nines I'd play as stated above Penky at seven like he did for fax in his early days and even before his drugs ban was a SL seven

Friday nights game is 1 we are all looking forward to but the championship is our priority.......thats the level were at BUT playing lads in wrong positions is not helping and if we are to continue with Brierley off the bench then he needs to be on after 20 mins till 50 mins point.....then back on with 15 left to add some zip into the attack.

He`s being wasted at the mo IMO.

McNally is younger and faster so will be a better 7 than Penky.......you slow down with age and Duffy did the same ....HB to 9 - but covered when needed.

Kevin penny is faster than them all mate would you play him at seven.

Like Duffy showed last few years a good pivot if they have the talent can get better with age Penky can take teams round the park better than Beswick and Beswick can defend the ruck better than Penky with nico interchanging at nine after 20/25 and posing a different threat jumping out of the POB and attacking the fringes
