Cas have announced him as ians assistant

We're finished!! What is the point now, no coach no players....would rather go and watch Miners now!!

Can't believe we have ended up this way!!!!

Havnt you been on here for a while? We have started to offer contracts to players and are very close to announcing our new coach...I would say we are doing ok without an investor. Tommy G signing on is a big boost

well as he was going to retire anyway cant see how this news prompts you to not go again

It's not all doom and gloom "dezyis21," we'll have a team next year and a coach so stop panicing. You can't just give up on your team and say "whats the point," you need to support the team through thick and thin, especially now when we are short on cash!!! So stop being depressed and get down next year

Didnt think we needed him back im the first place,i think morty should have been given more time and johnny pownall should of been given more game time.

When Tommy signed, the other few to sign were Taylor, Duffy, Riddy and Maido.......so we have a real backbone to the squad.......Personally I Dont blame the lads who moved on.......but cant wait to cheer the loyal players on and welcome in the new lads......Including the coach WHOEVER he may be!

Jimmy and Tommy were the best back row i that division last season and its great the will be there again knockin the stuffing out of whoever is put in front of them!!

well Pownall will be given all the game time he could possibly want next season lobbyman

Agree on all counts. Donlan did play some good stuff while he was here, no question about that, but at that time, with good backup in Morty & Pownall developing, I would have persevered with them and spent the money on a different position myself.

And speaking of FB's coming through - whatever happened to Dollin? Wasn't he supposed to be the next one after Morty?

Stus a nice bloke , i helped with his Testimonial, but cant say im to bothered about him leaving , the lad could barely walk after games last season ,so thanks Stu , but life goes on ,Leigh Centurions will survive and in time Prosper again , i think Pownall, or who ever gets the Full Back shirt next season , will get my support ,LONG LIVE LEIGH CENTURIONS .

No I've not been here for a while because to be quite honest my love for the game is dying because of the RFL are ruining the game!!

We are nothing but a feeder club for Super League....FACT!! Proof with all our best players being taken by SL clubs. I don't blame the players they have to do whats right for themselves as it is their career but the club must of known we were in a mess for a while, so why not start fund raising earlier last season and put a plan in place instead of putting all our eggs in one basket trying to get to the Grand Final!?

Look at the debate in football now....They will NEVER get rid of promotion and relegation as it means too much too clubs in lower leagues, at least they have the hope of maybe one day getting in the top league!

What chance do we have now seeing as within a 10 mile radius already there are W!gan, Saints, Warrington, W!dnes, Salford!! There is no room for, as they class us, little Leigh!!

It kills me saying this, I've been watching us since I was 7 years old (20 years) and I will ALWAYS be a Leyther through and through but unless the game changes, AND QUICK, I can't see us being here in 10 years time!!

JUST MY OPINION BEFORE YOU ALL START WITH THE 'STOP BEING NEGATIVE, MOANING ETC'

Thank you & good luck to Stuart. He's put his body on the line for us in many a match.

Theres only one answer to your last post Dezy, as you can see we have all been here before

some here longer than others , but we are all searching for the same reason to carry on ,you however must be strong and must find another goal to reach or you will become very unsettled in your approach with what youv say , i feel you could easily achieve this by going to the other sideand furthermore , be happy.

ok sod it lets all throw the towel in!

Look friendlies being sorted with 3 SL clubs, good signings, exciting times coming to Leigh....... just be patient.

i was being sarcy

Stuart has been a very good player who has served the club well, but his best playing days are behind him. Good luck to him in his new role.

Agreed.... dont think he would have played on, even if Cas hadnt have come in for him as Ass coach.

Nice spot for Danny Hulme there

You never know, he always seemed decent for you lot.

Been reading debate from a distance - i live in Kent!
Leigh success is always followed by a crisis - its our history, but the answer is usually local lads coming through, so thanks to those departed, and I look forward to new coach and more local lads to bridge
the gap . Keep posting the local news - we exiles need it!

You`re that Lister from the VT are n`t you.

Nay lad, I,m Matt from Ellesmere St (1951 vintage)

owd Ellesmere St , some good shops there and good memories , you wouldnt recognise the St now mate .

Two lads I have known for a lot of years lived with their mam and dad in the first block of terraced houses on the left hand side of the road walking from St Helens Rd.

They were all rabid Leythers. Two still are' one has moved away and their parents are sadly no longer with us.

The one who moved away went down South. Not you is it ? Clue brothers Eric and Barry ?
