How is he? We're seen loads of stats showing he's actually just as bad as Sandercock. I was very happy to see the back of sandy, seemed to be a big grey cloud over the club during his time here. Whinging moaning git, but the results on the pitch are no different?

Results wise he's no better than Sandercock, performance / entertainment wise its a different league.. I actually got close to not going with CS in charge, I felt I was being robbed of the pass money (and 80 mins of my life). Add to that the droning interviews and excuse after excuse it became tiring. Chester may not be the man but he's had to recruit a full team get them playing together and to be fair he's done ok considering. CS was doing no better after 3 years, give chester another year and lets see.

Chester was always given this year to mould the team, if it was good or bad season. Pressure will be on him next year tho. Another year like this and id imagine Peacock could be a head coach a lot sooner than later.

Clarkey slagging us off for 9 years and not producing a half back. Yet were playing against burns and Walsh, the man's a clown

Since 2008ish we've produced Matty Smith, Kyle Eastmond, Lee Gaskell, Jamie Ellis and Jonny Lomax in the halves. Two have played for England in the halves, two have been picked for England Knights. Despite the fact we've managed to lose most of them, we aren't doing that badly.

So why haven't you kept a couple ? , Ellis was happy to come to Leigh to finally play against ' men ' , his words not mine

I agreed with Clarke (can't believe I just typed that!). The day we signed Chisholm for a max of 10/11 games, we let Connor Robinson leave the club having never even given him a chance. Tonight we had nothing to lose and where was Matty Marsh? The club is so reluctant to trust its own youth, preferring to gamble on someone with a handful of 1st grade games on the other side of the world.

Chisholm may turn out well for us, that's not the point though. The club should be ashamed after 9 years in Super League that our successful home grown players can be counted on the fingers of one (West Hull) hand.

Is Poching actually being paid. If he's a defence coach than there's hope for me yet.

Re: Middle 8? : Fri Jul 24, 2015 9:46 pm  

Poching needs prosecuting under the trades description act.
