Changing the coach would achieve zero IMO.

Facts are we are a club that is unable or unwilling to spend money.

I suspect its being run as well as the current people in charge can do it (and i'm no fan of AT etc) and is there a real need to invest in a league that has lost its identity this season .

We have a young(ish) squad that is NOT and was NEVER going to finish in the top 4, we have however slipped in certain games regarding effort /concentration.
Concentration is understandable, effort is unforgivable, tiredness does play a part though with some pretty dire fixture planning for a part time club.

For me this season I want Leigh to compete with Doncaster, Batley, Whitehaven, Sheffield & Gateshead (pre Gateshead imploding i'd have settled for the others), I hope Leigh could finish top of this smaller financed group.
Playing and competeing against the full timers and big spenders is off the menu for a while.....maybe a long while

Getting rid of another coach would be a bad move.
Sorting the club out off the field to maximise opportunitys to bring in finance and realise what potential there is in the town/area is a must for those currently running the club.

It's ridiculous that people are even considering getting rid of the coach as an option, we need some stability all over the club, we need the attendances to increase and stay that way (will be hard at the moment for numerous reasons, recession poor rugby etc) a team that is together for more than 1 season (not just starting a fresh with a completely new team every year) and stick with a coach with that same team, they wil get to kno each other strengths and weaknesses!

Someone has mentioned they are only training together 3 hours a week it's no wonder our rugby is so flat no one will have a clue what anyone else is likely to do! give em a chance if we stay up we can hopefully add to the squad and get better next year and the year after!

they ave been training mon, wed, fri and sat morning upto the last couple of weeks due to games been on diff days,wot i dont think sum people realize is that the players dont ave there own gym to use at the club so ave to make there own arrangements which for sum means going on their nites off from training at leigh so you cud say sum train 5 nites a week aswell as work thru the day

It's a credit to semi-professional players. I was always of the opinion they work harder than your top professionals in Super League.

Depends who let them go out on the razz? Did they go on their own accord or did Kelly know?

Absolutely right Frank. From what we saw over the weekend they were all extremely professional & well behaved.
