How does the lack of news on recruitment fit in with the stated ambition of building a sustainable Super League club? The silence from the club is hardly encouraging for fans. Are we experiencing the repeat of a never ending cycle of hope? Give the fans some encouraging news about signings and they will show loyalty and contribute to sustainability by turning up through the gates.

Hi good morning Charlie, glad to hear you are feeling much better from your ill health,
As I keep saying to myself "In't it gud gerrin owdwer - sarcastically", keep your pecker up mate!

But yeah what a tonic that was on Sunday, was you there? Overall we played really well, but I thought we spurned a few good opportunities when we had them on the rack deep in their half only to elect to kick for goal when awarded the penalties, Riugby League is all about territory for me and it is not often a team has the opportunity to begin a new set of 6 around the opponents 20, they should be taken to run the ball, especially early in the game it is different if it is late on, and how often do we see from the opposition's kick off a mistake being made deep inside the opponents half and 6 points result from it, as happened to us early on when we gave a forward pass on the second tackle from a kick off after we elected to kick at goal from a penalty and Salford scored 6 points from it, but anyway it all came good in the end.

As for the meeting of two great minds not to mention wallets, in Dezzy 'n the Doc (has ring to it that) I am over the moon about it, my massive hope and wish is now for the SL to increase the Salery Cap by a million or even double it, I am very optimistic that the Leyth public will buy into this and those who were in attendance only 4 years ago will return, not every one can stomach going to watch a losing team like us who have been going for half a century or more!
Seemed we picked up a few more injuries on Sunday and with not much recovery time till Thursday I hope we can do ourselves justice at Saints, only thing is those buggers have a habit of exploiting weak or unorganised defences, I hope Saints don't go and burst our bubble of euphoria we gained on Sunday, I would love us to finish the season of
with our heads held high, there are a lot of the player's trying to impress for next season, not only us but any future employer who may be showing interest, it is in their best interests to put a show on.

Again take care and keep well Charlie.

just let us know how a significant raise in the salary cap would benefit anyone

Re: Salford game and looking forward. : Tue Aug 24, 2021 12:43 pm  

Have you not been listening to all those who are saying a 'levelling down" is doing the game no good whatsoever, we even have some player's on as little as £15K per annum, I send that much in going in Holiday (well did when allowed), but can you not see how if the good Doc comes on board it will benefit Leigh in amassing a quality squad, after how ALL the SL clubs decided to safeguard their continuance in SL by withholding funding from whoever got the nod will not bother me one bit in Leigh having an advantage at the expense of other clubs.
If the Cap is raised clubs will only spend what they can afford, hopefully they will keep within their means.

Good afternoon Harry , thank you for your best wishes , I’m a lot better these days , still a bit unsteady on my feet , but that’s life .
I didn’t attend the Salford , more fool me , as I realised I missed a cracker , I will be at other games this season though , I did say I expected Leigh to win against Salford , and also said if they didn’t they would win the rest of the season , glad they won though .
I’m extremely positive about Marwan if he decides to come to Leigh , the Derek and Marwan show would be fantastic ,and it would get a lot of publicity , it is even now from opposing SL Clubs .
As has been stated with these 2 at the helm it would give positive vibes to all Leythers , who at the moment need good news.

I think the short turnaround won’t benefit us on Thursday, and being Saints it won’t help us , but I feel we can beat Hull KR and Wakey , this season , I’m not sure about the 3 outstanding fixtures , against Hull, Warrington , and Cas , we may even have 4 if the Cats game doesn’t happen , no wonder Derek is. Upset .

£15k a year on holidays, are you princess Eugenie, good luck to you

Think you have a short memory thinking clubs will not spend what they do not have.We have a long list of those.
.I think we should have an enforceable salary cap managed by an independent body.One that is crystal clear and easy to understand not with a multitude of caveats and exemptions as we have now with the club with the craftiest, imaginative accountants leading the way..Didn't your good dr try his variation of salary payments at Salford and came unstuck.
As a game surely we need to put money into the community to get people playing and watching again
