We've had 2 great seasons. Credit to Paul Rowley for getting us this far. Do we need a coach with proven super league experience to take us to the next level?

NO! YOU FOOL.

Is that a genuine question?

Not a chance..Absolute rubbish.He got us were we are now,enough said.

And where is that 7th in the table after 3 rounds played 3 lost 3

Not Super League quality i'm afraid



*edited for accuracy

To be fair the team isn't so quality, they did Ok against wake should have gotten atleast a point out of it. It was players decisions that cost u yesterday n few harsh decisions.

I think that it will be hard for any side to get into superleague it's the first year of this format and I fhibk u guys have been a little short. A super league coach has a bigger budget to work with. I'm not sure they will necciseraly mean u go up. Retaining core of the team and a few additions to playing staff is what's needed.

None so harsh as the knee in the face that should have seen red imo thug tactics....... deserve to be where you are thats why your there.

Congratulations on e post of the year!!

Bless, you are not very bright are you....Did you sit your English GCSE exam ?

Are you for real Chancellor?
Paul has a two year plan if at the end of next season we are in this situation then questions will need to be asked. But for now let's give praise and recognition to Paul the board the players and our fantastic fans.

We will be a better all round next season after the experience of the super 8s. I'm convinced in 2 years we will be playing in Super league.

Rumour in miners before yesterdays game..Smith to Catalans,Rowley to Wire?

Well there you go then. Rumour it is.

Much as we are disappointed with our current position, I think it would be pure madness to contemplate getting rid of rowley

EMPTY YED !!!

I agree.

............ how about if Rowley leaves of is own accord, rumours are never wrong are they?

No way. He has and is doing a good job. You cant expect to be Super League quality, you're not, neither are we. Put either you's or us in Super League this season and we'd have finished 11/12th.

The best clubs in our position can hope for at this stage is to be in good form and pick up a couple of unexpected good results and win those you're expected to. It's just how it is, a grossly unfair system that is heavily stacked in the Super League sides favour. It's bent, whether any Championship side goes up or not.

For me, I long for a 1up 1 down system and you deserve promotion this season. I still hope you go up, but not at our expense. Fingers crossed for good outcomes for both clubs.

I think Anthonys Travel have done a fantastic job transporting the lads around the last few seasons and like the way they've put the Leigh Centurions club badge on the coach door.
I see no reason of getting rid of it as its modern and looks very smart, I've seen some of the coaches other clubs use to travel around in and I think ours is one of the best on the road.

Very good.

Get a Grip !!!

Thanks Bulls4Champs on your very well measured & fair post, it isn't that often an opposition supporter comes here to talk sense anymore.

FWIW, I have just been on your board to post congratulations on a great result today & if it isn't us in the hat for SL then I hope you Bulls do it, you lot can replace Almost AWakefield any day for me.

Best of Luck....

But hope we batter you at Leigh.

Even if we don't get into SL next year I don't think we should get rid of Paul. That man can only do his best with the players we can afford. If there are some other millionaires out there that would like to help out Derek with the burdons of funding this club and gave Paul a team of SL/NRL players that didn't get us there, then I may change my mind. We are a club that is a familly and we will prevail. I have confindence in Paul, his team, the players who will be under him and the board to take us there.

Guys/Girls/Confused .... *that's you Tigernumpty*

Am I correct in thinking or being led to think that Ryan Brierley has an agreement in place to go to Salford should we not be promoted to SL ?

If so & he is under contract, would it be prudent to allow this in exchange for their forwards Corey Patterson & Harrison Hansen who have both reportedly expressed an interest in coming to Leigh ?

As I understand it, Ryan has another season on contract at Leigh, while H.Hansen has another season at Salford, not sure about Corey's contract.
With both Salford players seemingly wanting away & Ryan & his Dad being Salford fans *Ryan rightfully wanting a shot at SL* is this feasible ?

H.H it should be pointed out is good friends with some Leigh players & has been to watch Leigh when not playing himself.

Obviously, should Ryan go then we would need a new 7.

Thoughts ?
I don't mind being set straight.
