New Coach Needed : Sun May 21, 2017 5:30 pm  

After losing 8 league games on the trot and going out of CC to HKR I think it's time for a change of coach before it's too late, otherwise we will find ourselves back in the Championship as both HKR and Toulouse would fancy their chances to beat us at the moment.

We've had injuries and suspensions but so have the rest. It was always going to be difficult but we need a new impetus going into the Middle 8s and, unfortunately, the current coaching setup isn't going to provide that.

Jukes has done his best but it's time for change.

Correct

Don't all turn on jukes now it's not his fault that he not got the qualities needed for super league he was thrown into the job he a good assistant but just lacks that super league experience. I don't think a change of coach will change things better of sticking with him till end of season sign well for middle 8s then regroup and go again next season hopefully in the big league

It isn't Jukes's fault and no one is turning on him but 8 league losses and going out of CC to HKR speak for themselves. Any other SL team would change coach and so should Leigh if they want to be playing SL next season. Just being realistic, that's all.

Judge him when he has a full squad to pick from. We weren't far off the team that is top of the table. Some good signs today. The half backs are starting to look better with a couple of games playing with each other. Getting Cory back is helping, Mitch looked good at fullback, We just need to get Micky and Willie back on the field and we will be ok. can't see us going down.

Cory being back is massive good news after all the wild rumours to the contrary. Willie? For how many games this time. Micky? Now that would be fantastic but, as we are now more or less resigned to the M8s, there's a balancing act to be performed there (some of Charlie's colleagues may be able to help) twixt gaining stamina on the field in those vital games and avoiding injuries as his age takes a toll that would debar him from playing.

On a whole we just arnt up to scratch lets be honest about it

Re: New Coach Needed : Sun May 21, 2017 6:46 pm  

We are not that far off. Scored some cracking tries today against one of the best teams in the league. Hopefully the glass half full mentality of the Labour voting majority of the town doesn't rub off on e players.

I agree with THECherry&Whites.
