I can hold a conversation with about 6 lads at work about Leigh and general RL, but none of them watch the team and there seems no real attempt to get them back on the wagon.

You are now playing in a good quality Stadium but seem to be making a point of showing how not to take advantage of it. Strong recruitment in the off season coupled with good initial pricing to get the punters on board and there is no reason why you shouldnt be playing in front of crowds almost comparable to Widnes. But instead the club seems to have taken the field of dreams approach ( if you build it, they will come ).

.

Don't you know we don't need fair weather fans in Leigh. Also, didn't you know this is a sense-free zone and useful insights like that aren't at all welcome.

IMHO and I did go today, we played a lot better then the last game, we looked like scoring a few times, however our defence out wide was poor, not Stanton he was excellant except for when he was left marking three players. Missed JT and AJ today with them in at second row, I dont think Haven would have beat us out wide.
BIG BIG mistake going with 3 props on the bench as when Alstead went off after about 20 mins ,Morty got shoved on the wing and Durbin came on at FB, this and the clown, Childs ,also were facters in the defeat.
I was happier with the proformance today. Wish we could have hung on for the point I THINK WE DERSERVED IT

The performance was better but still not good enough. We got drawn the short straw with injuries to both Stanton and Alstead which meant we had Durbin at fullback, McConnell in the centres, Nanyn on the wing and Mort on the other wing. To get beat by the same move 3/4 times is criminal though, we knew the pace of Calvert so why let the centres get on the outside and get the pass to him? We applied some good pressure for about 20 minutes in the second half and we managed to get back into the game but our discipline and a few dodgy decisions in the first half came back to haunt us.
