I'd love to see a fly in the wall documentary on what they actually did last Winter. Carry On Pre Season from Tony Smith

Oh well we're well known for big finishes to seasons so let's see what the rest of August and September have in store

Today’s score line wouldn’t bother me too much if Leigh hadn’t played 3 games in 10 days, they looked fit, sharp and even when down to 12 by far the more comfortable team.

I appreciate there’s young lads and loanees in there, and it can’t be easy, but I’m truly fed up of these results happening towards the back end of the season.

Same here, let's see if the squad have another end of season jolly boys holiday during the playoffs...amazing how they find 30 seats on a plane together at such short notice...

I thought it would be this week in the lead up to the game.

What are you intimating Dave. Are you offering a glimmer of hope that it's not a done deal

Well, that was fun, was it not!!

They look like a team desperately wishing someone would announce that this season has been cancelled forthwith and we can all forget about any remaining fixtures and, quite frankly, they're not the only ones who feel that way!

I get an impression that virtually everyone connected to the club, in whatever capacity (including the long-suffering fan-base), would like the whole year to disappear down a large sink-hole. Watching that this afternoon, I wonder how much energy and fight is left in the tank for the remaining six games? which may turn into six very long games for all concerned.

Sounds like the other game this afternoon was a real bell-ringer. Think London will approach next week with energy and enthusiasm and right now I'm not sure we have the mind-set to meet them head on!

I'm at 99% him staying at Leigh, get the 1% him signing from Reading into things that aren't there

Rather get it announced and we can move (sure the club already know)

If we match there effort and enthusiasm we will win, if we don't it will be a long afternoon.

Degsy's teasing us.

Gone back to Smiths tenure with the last 2 scorelines….Grix way out of his depth…what’s he doing with them in training?

I did say they've been two of our best players this half, which is a positive, and it did appear they were on the way out earlier in the season given they were both featuring regularly in reserves despite injuries/other out of form players starting ahead of them and we signed a fullback before he turned out to be a domestic abuser, and had agreed a deal for a PNG hooker before changing our mind after Balmforth actually got a shot in the first team and proved his worth, which I'm pleased with

we are in desperate need of a halfback,centre,and at least one big forward and the club sign a second tier PNG full back,and hooker before changing their minds.
Any of the faithfull tell me the logic there

Obviously didn't expect much with the team we had out but when are we going to stop being so dumb. Not playing the ball properly, not getting the ball out of the scrum, laying on, offsides...

All stems from a lack of leadership and how many years are we going to keep doing this??

what about trying a short kick off when the game is lost.
Not once but twice
then on the third attempt we get the ball
Where is the leadership? its not a practice game
