You seem to have some real problems at the top with understanding why players chose Leigh over Fax this season. I will list a few 1. Ambition - players were told what the vision was and how we get there 2. The coach - they liked what they were sold 3. Facilities - perfect pitch and training facilities on site to match
The end result was a very close, young squad that was trimmed as the season progressed, the youngsters stepped up allowing some old heads to depart to pastures new. The cost was below the £400k granted, and we have so far secured £525k in prizemoney on gates up 40% with record commercial income and all those players have secured 2 year or longer FT contracts - we are bringing in 3 players, two are already here, for next year, no major surgery for the next leg of the journey and spirit you cant buy

Who asked you owt?

I don't think you give your team enough credit for their second half display. I thought we (Fev) were really under pressure at times in the second half and it took two last-ditch tackles (one of them by M.o.M. Sharp) to prevent you closing the score. Two seasons ago my top memory was Featherstone defending six sets on our own line at The Shay and yesterday it was the defensive effort of the second half that again impressed, possibly our best this season.

Nah Fev went through the motions second half as they knew if they kicked the ball into our 20 we would struggle to get up the other end and we did, the game was won in that first 22 minutes we never looked like getting back into the game I even thought we might get nilled for the first time since 2003, we have no cutting edge when it comes to the big games and that suggests we aint good enough sadly.
