Why is that so bad? People talking about bringing Briers in happily who's never been a head coach yet we've got someone here who knows the players and could be the next best thing but if he's not given a chance then how will we ever find out? He's now got a DOR above him sorting contracts and players issues and if given a decent backroom and coaching and conditioning team I believe he could be a success.

he has the rest of the season Seb
Just lose whats left from Toxic Tony from him and lets see what he and Gaz can do with this poor squad

Be a bit disappointed if we aren't linked with 10 new coaching candidates this week plus the rest of the Leigh squad.

Realistically? I guess we'll see Brown leave and Aydin sign...

Not even 9am on the first working day of the week and we've got our first signing in - Tiaki Chan in on loan from Wigan, great signing, will want to try prove himself to force his way into Wigan's first team and gives us some more size in the front row - last week we struggled when Ese ese and Sao went off, hopefully this helps us keep momentum

I guess he'll play on an edge and Scott will go to centre?

Or put Sao back there?

What do people feel regarding the principle of these loan signings? I get Chamberlain to shore up our defence. Maybe having better performances builds confidence in turn improving outcomes. However how important are results versus using our own club resources to develop players (and injured players returning) given we don’t get relegated this season? Is it to limit the disillusionment of the fans, to change the spirit in the dressing room, something else?

I think we have to start winning some games (starting with this week), these players IMO will give us more of a chance of that.

Imagine the damage if we lose every game this season, confident would be rick bottom for the players and fans, it wouldn't matter who we signed, losing mentality is a tough trait to lose.

I'd rather keep Sao in the middle tbh. Might depend on what Wigan want too? Do they see Chan as a middle or edge

I'll be disappointed if our squad numbers don't hit 50 this season

I'm still a bit sensitive around seeing 50 against our name so I hope they don't.
