The players people identified as being disruptive influences (Hansen, Patterson) have been exceptional and brought a professional attitude to the club - as has Weston, Smith and Whiting.

Chase was a terrible signing, but he's in the past.

Cooke joining the coaching set up, and Purtill soon to join, adds to the professional set up.

Rowley has proved to be a sly git since he left us in the cack 10 days before the season started. Any players that want to crawl off and follow him can do one.

Jukes has done a fantastic job this season, regardless of what happens in the 8's

If you think I have an ulterior motive for posting thats youre perogative. But I assure you there is none. How posting on a fans forum can disrupt a team is totally beyond me.
As for the Whiting contract, I suggest you check youre facts, it was never signed!
Anyway there is no point posting on here, just just get slagged off by the 6 people "in the know" or so they think.

If I have been fed a load of bull, time will tell.

But as I said theres no point posting because you lot already know everything!!

Whiting himself said he'd signed a contract for next season in the Legends Bar before the game last week so time has already told you to be wrong. That was quick.

I love these lifelong fans who never go, but have a mate whose being fired off.for point of reference I am Neil Wilcock, who are you Johnjohns?

What?!?!?!

I always assumed you were Maurice Lindsay!

What a 'silly/pointless' topic !!!

Never read a bigger load of rubbish.

JohnJohn' s never posted on here before, and you want some believable credibility..

Jog on with your tripe

Joined on Saturday 9th July. Must say Kay and Dixon didn't try at all today.

PS. I am joking

Just this .....

"Derek lost the team?"

A few hours before the best performance of season



So no, Derek hasn't lost the team. Much like we haven't lost a game since the start of February!

Derek's lost the team? Where did he have them last? Has he checked down the side of the couch?

Johnjohns joined on the 9th on July as already stated..... sounds like its Paul Rowley trying to stir some s#@t!

We have the best coach in the league in Neil Jukes, just imagine if Rowley hadn't have dropped him in the depend and stole all of his players, we might have even gone unbeaten all season!

I just thought you enjoyed shouting that out in our moments of passion

And your name's really not Maurice?!

Probably the worst post I’ve ever read on this forum in its 17 years of existence. 1 player not even at the club, 3 not played a game all year, 1 out on loan, 2 currently injured, 1 retiring and 4 who have played regular who you have made stuff up on.

This of course followed by a 58-18 thrashing of Halifax.

That sort of messes up peoples theories that JohnJohn is really Paul Rowley having yet another attempt to disrupt the club Ste

Has Derek signed for Toronto yet?

I am not stirring on here, I am asking there must be something going on to warrant all these players leaving. As for Whiting if he has signed a new deal, why no official confirmation? If Ridy has been offered a new improved contract why has he not signed it. Why is the club so secretive? If they would be more open with the fans there would not be all the speculation.
By the way my name is John Johnson from Lowton, I was at the game yesterday. So I do go to games, not that I sholud have to disclose myself to the fans forum mafia

The official confirmation about whiting came when he signed permanently www.rugby-league.com/article/339 ... l-at-leigh

That's one ticked off then for JohnJohns

What did you think of the game yesterday John, what were your highlights and why? Did we look like a team torn apart and who told you all that carp?? A current player who currently isn't playing really narrows it down, bet he hasn't got an axe to grind if true.

That isnt official confirmation or am I missing something? I thought Leigh were excellant yesterday, my MOM was Dixon after his long lay off closely followed by Patterson and Fui. Smith played well at centre and Reynolds didnt look out of place. Disappointed with Fax performance. Were they that bad or did or Leigh make them look that average. I havent got a problem with the team and the way they play. I think the club should put all these rumours to bed. Its no wonder no-one new joins this forum. Its like you have to pass a test to enter the 'elite posters club" Its obvious it must just be me who thinks something is wrong, I must apologise to you totally deluded die hards

The club did a release confirming Whiting had signed for next season when they announced he was on loan for this season

John do you work for a reasonably sized business, do they respond to every rumour started in a tea break? Owners lead and managers manage for a reason, we aint a social club committee any more although I accept that some feel we should be. Owners players and coaches continually change, we support a club and those owning it pay for the privilege to make the decisions.
Can you imagine the man hours needed to satisfy the whims of a few, time will show who is staying and who is leaving enjoy the now and trust that the 2017 squad will be better than the 2016

Why should the club put all these rumours to bed? It will all come out in the wash. If a player doesn'the want to be here I would rather they went. Ask yourself the reason they want to play in Championship 1 rather than the Champ or SL. Most of the ones leaving could get a contract in the championship but they have chosen to play on the lowest tier of pro RL in front of sub 400 crowds when over here
