I'd heard that the tweet he sent had been sent to the management and it was been investigated.

A bit stupid by him it was, as the ink was barely dry on a new deal.

We are in a bit of a pickle here, and may have to look at bringing someone in.

One half back in the NRL, not getting any game time, is Sam Walker, son of Ben, the ex Leeds player. He was also born in Leeds, so wouldn't count on the quota.

Do not know who decided to let Hampshire go,but think that bad decision ,as only been passed by the decision to keep Chester on two year to long ,and picking the presents Coach

Nail on the head there, legend

I like Hampshire but it's not like he's an organising half back. He's just more of what we've got.

Remind me PT which one of our current players has the lightning pace off the mark that goes through gaps like Hampshire?

Oh come on. Hampshire is just a solid player who offers great utility value. If Gale was fit nobody would even raise his name. I know he has a small supporting cheer squad on here but he only ever gets discussed when we have injuries.

We always have injuries, most of which appear to be not game related. What happened to all those players that were ready to return two weeks ago. I guess we are adopting a war mentality “loose lips sink ships” but it would be good to know when or if we will see any players return.

Sadly gales not playing Friday but Hampshire is in a very strong looking Wigan side

They’re usually discussed weekly but I guess they don’t want to give much away to the clubs we are facing who can probably prepare better. Especially with the position we are in.

Maybe it’s something to introduce at some point.

I'm not disputing that. But I think we've pretty much confirmed to make the team tick, we need an organiser, and he isn't it.

So we support the player who comes in at 7 and forget Hampshire.

Looks like it could be Butterworth or Kaye at 7. Guess we will see who Mash goes with but they hopefully need to play like Gale did and get the ball moving and give the edge runners space.

It’s probably the kicking we will need to address as Gale did most of last weeks.

You reap what you sow.
They used to share information but the barage of negativity returned, no matter what they say, has put paid to that.

You must have a long memory because I don’t remember the current incumbents being forthcoming with information on anything.

To be fair I recall them sharing some training videos for a few week but the some fans were just commenting and taking the Mickey. Completely ruined the communication attempts from the club from memory.

Also I do remember some injury updates a while back. There’s some fans who have enjoyed taking the Mickey out of the club when they post things (sarcastic comments etc) but yet moan when the club don’t.

The club I suspect have on occasions got tired of this on social media and taken a step back reporting stuff.

Probably an argument and learning points on both sides for a bit more perseverance from the club and less Mickey taking from fans.

The very fact Carter used to be all over social media should answer that question.

John Minards even said that he was reticent to post good news on his Twitter for fear of all the negativity he usually gets.

Like I said, you reap what you sow. And although I mean a big group 'you', I mean YOU as well. I have a long memory as you say and you were a star performer when hounding Carter off here.

The usual two are still blaming the fans for being unhappy when the club is the one that causes its own mess.

I think you overestimate my influence, next you will be stating I was the one on the grassy knoll or the one who shot JR and Mr Burns.

What’s your source of information for this that they are presently or in the past blaming fans? Can you provide a link or point me in the right direction. Just curious and a genuine question as I haven’t seen either.

But you do admit to hassling him though?

Oh give me a break, Carter & Minards need to grow a pair then

I’m not buying this, I won’t share because I’m afraid of negativity from a tiny handful of supporters!

Firstly, they didn't say that, I did.

Second, you can't have it both ways. Either let them speak or don't moan when they decide not to.

And third, they are small minded but not small. The "I don't tell lies" brigade are loud when they spread malicious rumours but very quiet when proved to be wrong.

Hello, three, two, one, back in the room.
Turned ankle, sit down and take the weight off your bulletins Mr. Baker.
Let’s hope, even you doom mongers, let’s hope, it may not be as long out as feared.
Fingers crossed.
Apologies for showing any signs of positivity, and yes, I have been through the mental torment of being a supporter this year and think some dumb decisions have been made, but I’m trying to BELIEVE.

Think M C and J M have done well for the club , got us a ground for for S L The down side is they did not know enough about putting a good team on the park. So all they got was poor advice from people at the club, that is why we are were we are now .The good thing is when \ if we go down by the look of it ,we are staying full time Hopefully this could see our fan base be high if we see a team that is playing attacking rugby and winning

I don’t agree with many things they have done and the opportunities missed by their profit at the expense of squad. If you believe pointing this out is hassling them then so be it but I would say it’s my opinion based on what we have experienced especially this season.
We are now trying to rectify the squad weakness but how much of this is down to the new board member and his sponsorship rather than the incumbents.

Bongser has a long memory too. This from earlier this year:



Bring back Chris Chester, he's doing a sterling job at Leigh with recruitment.
