Congrats to Paul again, but a 3 year contract, come on cabrones........ I'd see how he does this year....... I hope he proves me wrong, but I have my doubts

3 yr contract think you are gettin a bit ahead of yourself yes we had a great season but think the board need to wait till next season if we win something then i will agree with you and he gives ryan a lot more game time instead of keepin are star player on the bench for 3 quarters of the game dont get me wrong i aint taking anything away from what paul as done this year but ave to say some of his tactics havent been right eveyone knows when rb comes on our game speeds up we need to stop wraping the lad up in cotton wool and stop seeing him as just a inpact player i reallythink if he had come on earlier last week we would have been at the HJ this weekend instead of watin till we were 26 6 down before bringing him on we didnt do this with JE last season and his 2 tries won us the nrc last season hope the lad gets a lot more chances next season

I agree actually, tells the players that the coach will be there no matter what so they know who's boss.

We cannot afford to be offering coaches 3 year deals, lets see how he goes with expectations and make a call towards the end for a 2 year deal.
Paul may also see himself as a SL coach and he may feel this season coming is his opportunity to put himself in the shop window.

Well if this board don't offer him a contract someone will. If its SL he is after I think Tony Smith would have him as an assistant in a crack. There is a lot of mutual respect between them both.

More than Rowley has for Steve Simms and Phil Veivers!

Asst at Wire after next year would be a great move for Paul imo and I would wish him well in challenging himself at the next level if that did take place.
We cannot be handing out substantial long term deals for PT coaches in this league unless they have a dual role within the structure eg Marketing or community. Look how many AT paid off!!!!
I feel Paul knows he has something to prove next year, ie to win something, and that he believes he will have the tools to do it.
We will be supporting him in his goal.

3 years??? 5 Years more like!!!

Remind me again what have we won this season ? , and as I recall he wasn't the 1st choice candidate as the job was advertised wasn't it ? , and didn't he get the job because 2 of the applicants were having problems with work permits ?

If memory serves me right we started the season off playing some top notch expansive entertaining rugby , tonking both Sheffield and Halifax , and then he was offered the job and out went the flair and in came the pass pass inside ball and drive down the middle style that became our trademark for the rest of the season .

Sure he exceeded expectations for the season but c'mon it's a bit early to be hailing him as the new massiah , let's see how this next season goes when expectations of winning something are on the table .

I'd like to see a return to the expansive , entertaining , crowd pleasing style of early last season , we've got the players to do it, we just need the guidance of the man in charge .

Over to you PR , these are all your players , so show us your worthy of a contract extention by entertaining your public .

Just tell me again how big our squad is and how many injuries we have had. That aswell as loosing Govin. Duffy being injured or playing injured. Loosing DCs left right and centre. Give yer yed a shake.

Govin? He got banned back in May 2011 whilst under IM

Yes but he would have still been a Leigh player this year. A major player at that.

I Agree he needs signing up if he's kept fit when his ban has finished Mick's a dangerous attacking player & very versitile playing 6, 7, 9, 13 brilliantly

I'm not saying he should be signed up. Personally I wouldn't touch him now because the game has moved on and it's a young hungry mans game. What I was saying is that if he hadn't been banned he would have been a major player in this seasons team. A drug free fit Mick Govin at 13 this year and we would have won something. He would have complemented the rest of the team.

Oh your giving your identity away there Nino

A Leyther using a derogatory Spanish adjective to describe board users.

Now how many Leythers hablar espanyol ?

So puta madri.

TV BOY you do realise Govin only turned 27 a few month back so he'd sign for us when just turning 28 that's a prime age IMO

Yes I do and I have just read on another thread that he may have been in training with the squad for some time. If the club have done to Mick what the Pies did to Gareth Hock then maybe he could come back like Hocky and do a good job but if he has been away all this time then no I wouldn't have him back.

if he has been training with the club i hope the rfl know about it,cos i thought you was banned from all forms of rl til the ban was over.

My view is why should Govin not be allowed to keep fit by training with other RL players.

I honestly do not think non sporting performance enhancing drugs taken by an adult should have anything to do with any sporting body.

And before anyone says it is to discourage children from drinking smoking etc etc'they will do anyway if they want to once they reach a particular age.

I'm sure your near enough right there JC , but I think if he passes whatever tests and hoops Sport UK have set for him to jump through he can start training with us again around Xmas time .

A bit unfair some mentiionlng Mick Govin in the same breath as that drug cheat Hock .

Hock - deliberately took performance enhancing drugs to improve his muscle bulk , take a look at him tonight on't telly at Wiggin he's still showing the benefits of his time as a deliberate drug cheat and IMO shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the national team .

Govin - made a poor judgement call and took a recreational drug with his mates , take a look round Wiggin tonight at all the yoofs of Mick's age who have been shovelling coke up their nose and you'll find it's about 75 % .

Unfair that they both carry the penalty but only one of them has come out of it better off .

Gareth Hock was done for taking coke in 2009. Where is the difference. I think you are getting Hocky mixed up with someone else.

Madre*

Just to clear up any possible confusion. When I said on another thread that Govin had been invited to train with Leigh again, a while back, I meant Leigh have invited him back already, but with a view to training with the club in the future. ie when he is allowed to and the ban is done and dusted etc. Hope this makes sense.

I think the RFL allowed Hock to train with the Wigan squad 6 or 8 months before his ban was up.
