Feath played well. They are more together as a team obviously and the ground with the slope and pitch conditions gave them a great advantage. Think we will improve but squad size is a worry and half backs and spine need to work together better. Early days onto Bradford and back at LSV.

After hard work by the club,we have been unable to tempt Josh Dugan, and Corey Norman (both 31) out of retirement. Talks are still ongoing regarding Gelling.

I would imaging both Dugan and Norman would have cost a great deal of cash , which shows Derek is not put off by big contracts , hopefully when the time arrives we can attract quality players , going off Dereks statement to Love Rugby League , his intentions are there for folk to see , have faith .

Ian, I have plenty of faith in Degsey bringing in players but, we are a little fragile atm, and anymore injuries/suspensions to key players and the pressure could start to take effect. I just remember that bad start in 2018 spending lots of cash, and not making the playoffs. We have a smaller squad now than what we had then. Anyway, I reckon your spine is as good as Leyths.

Derek ,I’ve seen owd books wi better spines than mine , we will be ok yeah I remember when we didn’t make the play offs , I think Derek will remember that season as well m which is why I think he will sort things out soon ,as has been said we are light on numbers and Reynolds must alter his playmaking tactics , but I will make a better conclusion after the Bradford game on Monday .

Charlie! Mr Beaumont has put people in place to sort it. Why do you still dwell on Mr Beaumont sorting it. He may pay the bills with assurances. The only reason Bradford becomes a contest is the lack of squad Leigh have to play.

Taking players from all over the world is Mr Beaumont’s way. Chester and Lam should know better.

Atomic , I may mention Derek a lot but I feel we are lucky to have the bloke , I agree Lammy and Chester are now responsible for recruitment which is why I feel Reynolds won’t last long unless he alters his game plan ,Chester wasn’t keen on him at Wakey ,and Lammy didn’t seem convinced in his post match interview.
As for our lack of squad ,I’m happy with the 17 declared for the Bradford game ,and as for taking players from all over the world , I’ve always said I’d sign an Eskimo or a Tibetan Monk if they were good enough .
