I reckon we'll fill 4/5 spots leaving space for the 8s.

Col,apperently McNally has already been informed he is surplus to requirements for next season,and I never said he was a failure,though I don't think he is a SL player,I agree again he would score plenty of tries in the Championship,but it seems Jukesy or KC have no plans for him.

Well as far as KC is concerned he can't possibly know how good McNally is because he hasn't seen him enough!
The best individual try last season was Gregg's effort against top four Salford, pure class ! it was much better than Hardakers 'run' against Leeds. Nobody gives a better long pass at Leigh than Gregg and, he always gets it away.
I've not seen Owens a lot but, I know he's nowhere near as classy as McNally! I wouldn't keep Brown either, he is very poor at centre and worse at fullback! The four away games he played consecutively at the back end of the season he was diabolical, particularly at Wire and Huddersfield!
Very very poor decision to release Gregg and I personally am disappointed if true, sadly, the coaching staff at Leigh obviously cant see the ability Gregg has and I'm disappointed I never got to see him at scrum half or, stand off!
To answer your opinion on him being SL class, he was getting stronger by the match and, it was a baffling decision to see him dropped for the last two games unfortunately, the last two seasons had seen him obtain serious injuries and he was only just getting back to his best! I will miss watching him play, good luck Gregg and thanks for giving us loyal service and superb entertainment!

Kirky, I have watched Greg for a while now , I respect your opinion about him , but my opinion is he is a good Championship player but not in SL, it seems Jukesy and KC agree, for me Hopkins was a mistake to release , but I feel the Management know more than me,m very happy with the recruiting for next year.

Sorry but I think you have that the wrong way round Hopkins is error prone and only does short spells.Greg I thought was getting back to his best after 2 major injuries and he makes as many tries as our half backs with his linking play

We are putting a very good team together that should walk the championship.Sad to see hoppy and Greg surplus to requirements. However, you don't build a 747 and then ask a bus driver to fly it. Under jukes we played boring predictable rugby and were rightly relegated. We need a coach with SL/NRL experience. Jukes had his chance but failed. Time for change.

Looking at our recruitment so far, would it be fair to say that,although he didn't get it right at times last season, that the resources will be different next year, so he deserves a chance to prove that he as got what it takes to be a successful coach?

Skid marks!! (note to Admin: there should be a smilie for that - useful in other situations too).

Finding it hard to follow the (sub) thread of that post, WYSI. Whilst not commenting on the contents of the two non-seguiturial sections, Bongser feels that a half decent bus driver may well have avoided swerving across the central reservation into oncoming traffic on a completely different theme.

Well Jukes is in charge so that's that. I suggest we back him 100% and see how he goes this season. Just because we got relegated does not make him a bad coach in any way . The injuries last season where crippling and the players who stepped in under achieved so now they are going. Re: Greg McNally, unless I've missed it where is the link?
