Can’t hold my tongue any longer. We look like a poor League 1 side.
No guile in attack and the defence is atrocious.
If Duffs can turn this around he should have a statue built at the side of Woody’s.
I really can’t see it happening though.
Those lads really need the Leyther roar behind them now. If they can’t raise their game then, well it taters for us.
I know we are only three games into the season but we look very bad.

Agreed,not looking good. Different class to be honest

Testing times. That’s for sure.

Big mistake not spending full cap. Makes for an uneven contest week in week out. Why did we not sign Ryan Hall or Josh Jones?

Full cap being?

Very surprized Atomic that you don't know that full cap is £2.1 million. If Leigh were not able to spend that then what was the point of the Super league application? Without spending full cap we need the players to play above themselves in every game throughout the season.

What makes you think we aren’t paying full cap - Peats is a marquee signing so big bucks, Atomic can prove that

If you compare the Leigh squad with the Saints or Warrington squad it would be alarming if the spend on Leigh players was anything close.

Not sure,unless someone knows the answer. Pre application.

They had the majority of players on contracts for the champ, no idea if those contracts have been improved due to the the circumstances- but as they were already full time contracts I doubt it

In all honesty I don’t think we are anywhere near the full cap - I was being a bit sarcy, but at the same time do you want us to just sign players on extortionate contracts

If players are available the club seems seems to be able to give them a gig, not sure what more you want

I wrote earlier referring as to why we did not sign Josh Jones or Ryan Hall, two players from squads which are our relegation competitors. Those players were available for our competitors to sign why did we not sign them? In my honest opinion it is a big mistake to save cap for later in the season unless we are unable to spend it.

Valid points. Possibly players who Leigh want are in waiting. Unavailable at present. A payable fee for Ben Reynolds shows there’s money available.

Atomic, we need to act now , because after 10 or so games it may be to late , folk keep saying we will beat Salford , Wakey , and Hull KR , but will we , nothing can be taken for granted .

Totally agree Charlie. We cant wait. We got a million in funding get it spent on players.

Leigh were only put in SL to protect KR and Wakefield, I hope you stay up but its a tough ask.

I know they are thin on the ground but we desperately need 2 experienced half backs. We only have either crocked or Championship halfbacks. Also, as much as I like Duffy, he isn't a SL coach. Would have been better to get an experienced coach with John as understudy. We are making exactly the same mistakes as last time and we will be relegated if we don't act now.

Bang on.

Tough aak for a few.

Nail firmly on head.

It pains me to say it but Ben Reynolds for all his efforts is simply not SL standard. Whilst that is my belief, no one needs take my word for that.. Take the word of someone far more qualified than I... Chris Chester..

You where doing good at one point...

Don't lose faith because you've lost to a couple of top teams.

When London came up they had 5-10 min spells in the early games losing concentration and the game went (SL is punishing). As the season progressed they got to the speed of the game and picked a few teams off.

You are unlikely to beat the top 4-5 sides unless they send understrength teams. There are plenty of points to be had against HKR, Salford, Wakey, Hudds..... especially when injuries kick in. Play the long game.

Because both had signed earlier and neither would consider going to the relegation favourites as international players and a World Cup on the horizon

Maurice I agree with you about Ryan Hall who as you say had already signed for Hull KR before we secured the Super League place but Josh Jones signed for Giants after the Super League decision. There was also Krisnan Inu, who was available but signed his new contract at Salford.

Jones wasn't really available at all, Hudds actively approached Hull and payed a fee for him.

How do you or I for that matter know we didn’t try to sign Jones, Inu or any other player. Derek has clearly said money is available several times, including just a few days ago, so I am confident that the club has been and still is constantly working on bringing in the right players. If the player chooses to go somewhere else, there are many factors that come into play, some of which as newly promoted club, who are favourites to go down, are out of our control. A lot of time, personal effort and emotional effort has gone into getting us into SL and the various structures the club have/are putting in place to keep us there (Academy comes straight to mind), I’m sure the same effort is being put into getting the right players on the field in a Leigh shirt.
