First off, on a positive note - thanks a million to the thirteen guys who put on the shirt this afternoon, in an impossible situation. I salute and admire each and every one of you



I was proud to see your efforts.

Now, to whoever it was who was responsible for risking the health and welfare of those thirteen lads, be they as employees, or team mates - you ought to be ashamed of yourselves! It is totally unacceptable, to expect any modern day forward, let alone all six of them, to put their bodies on the line for eighty minutes. Thank goodness we had a compassionate referee, who took every opportunity to pause the game for a while, so that players could 'enjoy' a desperately needed respite!

Back on my 'soap box' of communication. This week, we were fed a scrap of information, in the form of a sixteen man team sheet, for today's game. That team sheet contained the names of Matty Dawson-Jones, Ilias Bergal, and Jordan Dezaria. I've seen the explanations on this forum, but could anybody from the club, please enlighten us on the whereabouts today, of those three players? It's one thing giving only 'positive' information, it's another thing not giving any information, but it's surely the final straw, to dish out what appears to be out-and-out untruths!

I went to Dewsbury, and I was immensely proud of those thirteen guys, but I feel absolutely dejected at the situation we are now in. I don't feel like going to Featherstone, because I can't see how we are going to find thirteen players, and I certainly don't want to spend another eighty minutes worrying about the health and welfare of those who do wear the shirt!

Have you e-mailed them - hardly likely to answer you on here are they

both the French lads got on a plane and went home and Dawson has not been payed along with other players,I'm sorry but the club has been given money to pay the players for at least this year so I'd like to know were the money has been spent from the 1.2 million £500000
Parachute payment getting to the 1/4final of challenge cup and the transfer of Goodwin on top of gate money sponser money and corporate money as well as the money the club has saved in the last 10 weeks not paying the big earners

You'd be surprised at who reads this Col, (

) and I have had responses before.

So I have read, from contributors on hear 'gg13'. So why did the Club announce them in the squad, I wonder?

It's very sad Alan I wanted to hug them all but I shook their hands instead and thanked them as did everyone else
Apart from Drew who walked off at the end

They only went home middle of the week pal and at the time they was playing,Mickey not been payed for a couple of weeks apparently but because he loves the club and there's no way he wants to go out with Leigh fans thinking he left them in the because he cares about them

Ah, but the squad was only announced on Friday.

Hi Lynda,

And he did not look one happy bunny!!

Would u if ur miles from home and not getting payed and just been beat with 50 points,I know players should still thank the fans but how ed off is the lad,he is one of the players that has not missed a game all season so give the lad a bit of slack

Well as he got to the changing room first let's hope he had a good look in the mirror, big money and credit as he has given his all and put his body on the line week in week out, and indeed you can see the ability he has - but the first few weeks he of all of em looked way off the pace

However I can now see him getting a gig in the NRL, i do believe he could be a class act but (not on his own) let us down probably thinking it was easy street early doors

And I think that was the crux of all our problems, Col.
