We did just like we gave Acton the plonker a 3 year £100k a year deal.. It’s no wonder we are in this mess.

Yes correct Starbug, you do as a fan buy a ticket and watch it. The rest should be left in capable hands.

[quote="Michael_Ward"]Ricky Bibey = cack.

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]

Can understand that sort of deal if you want to keep a top class player, with other clubs sniffing around, but I don't belive we had anyone of that calibre last year. :(

That does seem to be the situation in a ' nutshell ' , going to be some bumps in the road ahead , but again it's just a game , not life and death , you enter into the world of Pro sport ( as an employee ) knowing it isn't the safest of jobs , that both from the playing and admin sides

As for us fans , you just buy your ticket and watch the game


Steve, I really admire your apparently relaxed attitude to all this - especially after all the time and money that you and Lynda must have given, and are still giving, to the club.

As someone else who put a few years of my life into helping our club, I feel extremely frustrated and disappointed at what has happened and, for me, it has meant, and still means, an awful lot more than just buying my ticket and turning up.

Anyway, if you have any of that eternal optimism bottled, would you be willing to sell me any of it?! :wink:

I thought the deal from Leigh was they could leave on a free. No signing on fee as such.

He should of been on a pay to play deal, that way he'd only get rewarded for not being an absolutely moron. Missed how many of our toughest run of matches i.e. the Middle 8's

Seems to me no players means no rugby in 2019. ( are there really 20 decent players sitting around waiting for a call from Leigh??)
An off season gives us a year to form a club, build a team find a ground and get a coach - none of this is easy!

Can't see RFL letting Leigh have 2019 off. Bulls considered this approach for 2017 but RFL rejected it.

Players we will find , how ' decent ' in relation to us being in the Championship will be the issue , I'd expect us to max out the loan rules and DR

Doubt it will be pretty , but plenty of clubs are/have had decades of similar seasons , we will overcome whatever next season brings , and build again

Going to be very difficult for Derek to escape massive criticism and be regarded as having damaged the club , which is a shame as I do believe he genuinely tried his best for the fans and the town , in truth this is what I was worried about when I heard he was getting involved again , rarely does any owner leave a sports club in a good light , Similarily coaches , the vast majority leave on bad terms

Pro sport eh ! , who'd be daft enough to put money into one ?
