Though I'm not sure I'd agree about Thackeray? We'll see, I've no doubt he'll be one of the few to keep his contract.

See the first part of my post for the rest though

I'd imagine so. I reckon we've got a handful who are still young enough to maybe get a ticket to the SL train too though.

I stand by:

Thackeray
Allen
Heckenberg (dropped???)
Kavanagh

at least.

Maybe add Flynn and Craven to this list? They have the potential to develop into superleague players with the right coaching.

The widnes fans seem to rate thackray, maybe he just doesn't perform against leigh? He seems to have all the attributes needed to be a good quality player, but just doesn't seem to apply himself or have the nouse? Kavanagh looked useful, although varkulis looked the player hardest to stop in the pack, wasnt he a centre at one time? if i was in charge, macgraff, kavanagh, pickersgill, i'anson and tyrer would make the SL squad, but i don't think any of them would be first choice initially.

OK, so keep the players and get rid of the coach then? Betts obviously can't coach them to a good enough level of either fitness or skills?

Cant fault the Widnes speccies who came to Leigh tonite they gave there team plenty of vocal support even when they where well behind , I,m sure with a input of several class players Widnes will become a decent side over the next few years its surprizing what a couple of new players
with talent can bring to a team just look at Hull KR since Dobson got injured they hardly won owt
Keep the Faith with speccies like Widnes have you cant go wrong things will improve over the next couple o years.. All the Best in SL
A very happy Leyther..

This a silly thread as this be a totally different team with 1.6 million to spend, and buy some off the team going down.I think alot goes down to bad coaching.Thackeray never a fullback,Gerrard not a standoff,and Lunt is much better than Netherton, but plays this fat slow machine.Ropati should be replaced by Ford and why was Hecky and Grady not playing?Basically players ill disciplined,penalties,sets,composure and a leader is required.Noble or Kear to come as coach.

Aye, good support for you men tonight. A good 700 tonight, which is great for a thursday night Championship TV game. Vocal early on but obviously quiet later on. Double what anyone else in this league would have brought.

Having said that, you'll never beat the leythers!!
