That will save the Club a nice wedge.

That's about a dozen plus of the 2017 squad who are now said/rumoured to be leaving. Whilst most of them are players who I wouldn't necessarily be disappointed to see go, I have an unease about starting virtually afresh, with a mostly new squad. I guess some continuity would have been of benefit? That said of course, some of the newcomers could well be an improvement on those leaving. Here's hoping so. Also, the pleasing aspect of the signings announced so far, is that they are all young players.

As for the coaching set up, I just have a feeling that Neil and Keiron, (Purtill) assisted by the other Keiron, might be a better combination. Totally without any inside knowledge, I just think that Paul Cooke may have been a 'strong influence' on matters. As I say, just a gut feeling!

Onwards and upwards

That should boost their average age!

What's Cooke got to do with it? The issue was Jukes not Cookes

A few players had issues with Cooke as well believe me. 'Binosh' is a close mucker of Ridyard and knows him better than I, and his thoughts on Jukes are pretty damming IMO.

I have placed on constant record here that I am a big fan of young Ridders. Has he been given an opportunity to cement his place at 6 for Leigh? Categorically not. It is a clear failure on Jukes part for me.

Will Ridyard be here next year? Well he could stay, as contracted, earning a living as a full time Leigh Rugby League player or he could go back roofing.

What do you think he will do?

I am hearing now Paul Cooke has been binned off. Young Drinkwater may be having second thoughts on leaving Leigh and returning home.

Watch this space.

Jukes has a huge Rowley shaped chip on his shoulder, unless he stops trying to destroy any last remnants of that squad he will never move forward here. Riddy is a prime example of that.
