| Quote ="JackDiggle"Harold, thanks for clarifying this - for those of us who are distant from the club some of the recent rumours didn't make sense. I noticed one of the coaches got married the previous week - something I would have expected to wait a couple of weeks until season close. Let's hope his column in Hull Daily Mail didn't suffer.'"
What's his column in the Hull daily Mail got to do with anything?

| Warrington have had a blip this year like Leeds last year (if Wakey etc improve someone has to miss out). Don't judge Tony Smith on this year.
Tony is an excellent coach and has taken several struggling clubs to success. If we didn't already have Sheens on board for 2 more years then Tony would be worth a shout for us. Leigh could do far worse.

Its not a blip, arguably, last year was a blip in the opposite direction.
For a lot of us, we've been on a decline since Grand final 13, case in point us getting cleaned out by your lot in the CCup semi in 14. There were a few of those type performances.

Don't know about the rest of you on here, but a CC semi final sounds good - I'd settle for that next year! (as a SL club, of course)

Well, yes granted, but based on us having won 3 out of 4, we'd then performed quite badly in several semis(almost embarressingly)
2013 we were pathetic against hull at huddersfield.
2014 against leeds at sintellins we were laughable.
2015 we were an absolute joke against KR, who then got cleaned out in the final.
Yes being in Semi finals is an achievement, but when you've been in the final(and won) then end up performing really REEEALY badly in semis, you start having doubts and asking questions.
Added to that, 2015 was pretty poor overall, somehow we were close to the GF in 14 and then obviously got to the GF last year which papered over a whole lot of cracks, we weren't happy about how we were playing, especially after losing sandow to injury.

| Quote ="Harold Rigby Jnr"The fact Higson was out on the lash the night before missing training was mysteriously missing from Mish's post. It was a wedding. I hope he had a good time, nice lad.
It's not a social club here, turn up when you want, it is proffesional sport with well paid Rugby League players paid generously to represent Leigh RLFC. At least show some bloody commitment in return. This clubs future is on the line.
If your not committed, dont bother coming in. We will have to run with those who are. So be it.'"
Unfortunately though, this is only one of a number of issues with players this (and last) season. The issue isn't the players, it's the coaches' ability to manage them.

Hence the introduction of KC no doubt. What do you do? Bin young coaches without attempting to educate them further.
If anything the introduction was too late.

I understand what you are saying but the lad has been warned about his timekeeping of late along with the other lad.
It is embarrasing when we have players such as Higham and Danny Tickle in at 7am EVERY day. 100% committed, focused and working as hard as possible to preserve this clubs prized SL status.
Missing or rolling in late for sessions at such a crucial period is totally unforgivable for any FT player, irrespective of who is in charge.
It is interesting that I note Toronto rumours for him next season are now surfacing on here simultaneously. Probably a bigger pointer than the coach really.

I cannot imagine what bringing in KC to your club can do to improve the coaching. He can hardly help educate someone in a skill that he does not possess himself.

Would have been great to have Micky in at 3 pm last Saturday, or at 8 pm tomorrow!!

| If - and it's a big IF - Jukesy left, who do you think we could attract to our club?
Rumours about Sean wane?
Warrington linked with former Aussie player Dean Pay - could we attract a legend of the game to come to Leigh?
And not all great coaches were great players of course

Yes, it is unacceptable. But Toronto rumours aren't a bigger pointer than the issue of management and coaching staff losing the dressing room.

| I am definately not a Tony Smith fan and that goes back to his days at Huddersfield. He took Huddersfield down with a Parachute payment and steamrollered everyone on their way straight back up! They were the only fulltime club in the league, not his fault however, there was a complete arragance about him, particularly towards us and therefore, he's not the man for me!
I have many 'friends' Wire fans and some haven't been this season because they wanted rid of him at, the beginning of the season, before a match was played! So its not a decision thats been a shock to Wire fans!
As for us, forget whats gone in the past, it happens in all work places, we have a job to do as a club and that is to retain our hard earned place in Super league! Win the next three games and we play Super League next season, simple as so, lets start tonight with a 100% effort from all the players and staff and the supporters too, of course

He's not geet oor us tekin Mickey off em.
If warry were challenging for the top 4, He would've just kept his silly trap shut, and would most likely be in charge of them again next year. It's sour grapes from the T@@T if you ask me.

| The text in that tweet was taken but not qouted in full from his after match comments at Fev, he also mentioned Leigh should not be in the same situation to be relegated, I am not a fan a Tony Smith and would not want him near Leigh, but I also do not want to castigate him for being misquoted.
