What's the answer? : Mon May 24, 2021 11:24 am  
Sad to read the downhearted posts - especially from guys who are able to watch the team.
Its now obvious that you can't build a team from cast offs and journeymen. Also there isnt a pool of quality players wishing to come to Leigh! (Its good to read Charlie and" Dick" posting again.)
The answer then is clearly relegation - sooner rather than later. Most of these players will disappear so will have to build up from basics - Roll on Academy.

Thank you for the mention , I’ve not been well for a while now , but I’m back feeling better, yesterday’s performance didn’t help , I agree we will finish bottom of the League , even at this early stage it’s inevitable,but I’m not sure relegation is a certainty so I won’t comment on that .

Things seem to be going wrong in every way , injuries to key players , mainly , but we lack size in the forwards , and have 3 trundlers in the pack , a six who isn’t up to SL standard ,and a Coach who the players like , as I myself do , but popularity doesn’t win games , I’m a big Derek fan , without his cash we would be in dire straits .

Whatever happens , I will always turn up at the LSV ,as long as my health permits ,it pains me to criticise the Coach , his back room staff and the players ,but it’s down to them , something has to change ,and soon .

Some excellent points Charlie, best wishes.
Yesterday was a hard watch, confidence is very low. I too can not see anything other than this continuing. Changes to be made, big decisions to make, planning for the future?
The biggest shock is how poor we started the 2nd half.

Quite a few matches now where we haven't scored at all in the second half.

If there is relegation this season, I really don't understand why we went for promotion.

But then I'm still miffed at the 2020 season being curtailed, naturally, but that would have been a great season of Championship rugby and a great proving ground for the team that did eventually get promoted.

Good post Ian. Nice to hear you're getting better too. Yesterday was enough to make any Leigh fan unwell. I remember posting on here before the season started that i was very apprehensive regarding our halfbacks,and i did say i hoped i was wrong, because otherwise we would be in the brown stuff. I accept that we've been unlucky with injuries but, we only have a decent top championship squad.I think we are now doomed for the rest of the season,and i can't see where we can get a win. Roll on 2022 :?

I see you're making a dog's dinner in the Fantasy league :wink: :)

See ya soon pal. :thumb:

Derek , I somehow haven’t got the hang of this Fantasy League , unlike you , who seems an expert .It’s this Transfer business I can’t understand , never was a clever bloke you know that .
I’m feeling good at the moment , had a difficult few months , but I’m ok now thanks .

You know I always say what I see , sometimes I can’t control my mouth , but that’s me , anyway hopefully see ya soon .

Thanks Reffy ,it’s good to be back , not only on the Forum but the LSV , yesterday I took a breath of LSV air and it felt so good , a bit strange in the East Stand , but very nice .

Shame about the teams performance , I’ve already said what I put that down to , I’m not being negative either just realistic ,I think WHEN the warmer weather arrives it will suit other Clubs more than us , I also think some fans don’t give Wakey , Hull KR , Salford , even Hudds the respect they deserve , although it was very close till half time .

If the the reason for the inadequate squad is a lack of available players and this was known at the time of the application, and that that relegation was definitely on this season, then then why on earth did we apply in the first place.

Also if most if not all of our players are on one year contracts, who will be in our squad next year? I have not heard of any players we have been linked with but glad to hear of any that we have.
