Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

First game was in 1967, and have been hooked since day 1. Now live in Vancouver, Canada but follow our team any way I can.

Was the suspended player Adam H by any chance Mish. I only ask because he was fantastic when my Dad was sick earlier this year and then again meeting my entire family in the summer when we all came over to bury his ashes.
I don't know why Adam is not playing, but I do know from talking with him earlier this year that he loves our club and loves the supporters as well.

Maybe Tony as director of rugby, as KC is only at Leigh until end of season I think, as he,s considering other things.

Re: Tony Smith......... : Mon Sep 11, 2017 9:27 am  
Not being around the club anymore, I am not privvy to the goings on there. I do read what people write on here, and there are those who I know, and whose comments I respect and believe.

It is blatantly obvious, even to those who are not 'in the know' that something is not right. There have been too many of our players who have mysteriously 'disappeared' at various times of the season. This is a situation that we can't allow to happen, especially as we have such a threadbare squad at the moment. We are just a couple of injuries, or suspensions away from being unable to select 17 players - and we still have at least two games to get through.

I will not criticise any individual player, who is brave enough (yes, it takes real courage) to step over that white line and play for 'my' club. I believe they give their all every single time they play - yes, even against Widnes last week. In fact, their effort and courage almost got us an unlikely victory at Warrington - personally, I felt they were unlucky. We have a team that, if it sticks rigidly, to a robotic game plan, is in with a chance - providing the opposition hasn't got the talent/pace to beat the 'robots'. However, what our current, depleted squad desperately lacks, is that pace and class. No way were we going to get away from our own '25' late in Saturday's game.

So, to the point of 'missing' players. Unfortunately, some of these guys are the ones who are capable of doing the 'unexpected', or have the pace to make something out of nothing. Players with talent often have the 'idiosyncracies' to go with that talent. No way is Zak Hardaker 'perfect - neither was Alex Murphy, or John Woods. Yet they do/did possess outstanding, world class abilities. Their coaches are/were prepared to make allowances, to harness those qualities. Sure, as a man-manager, you do have to have a disciplined framework, to work in, but you also have to make allowances for individuals. Like it or not, they are not all robots - they are all individuals.

To an 'outsider', our managers (i.e. coaches) do not seem to have been prepared to make those allowances and, as a result, we have lost the services of absolutely key personnel, when they should be out on the pitch. I honestly believe, with great sadness, that this is what will get us relegated at the end of this season. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I have this awful feeling.......... :(

Yes it's a business and the employees all have the companies rules to follow. Like your good self Alan I'm not privy to internal affairs,but it doesn't take an Einstein to know something is not right in camp.

Like you say,it's needs them all to set their differences aside and all hold their hands up to keep the club in SL.Not a time for egos.

Absolutely - although unfortunately it looks like time has run out for a couple of those players.

He's no good - the lad is huge but couldn't bust through a wet paper bag. He was crap at Wigan, he was crap here, and christ knows why Saints then signed him. Predictably, he was crap there as well.

He's now where he belongs, in NL1.[/quote]
