What a great comment, experienced professional people sticking their hand up to take a sport forward or woke pen pushers taking what they could without commercial ownership or repercussions ? Take the former every day

We have absolutely clueless “journos” chucking their opinions as fact at us daily. - most have whom have never run a bath let alone a multi million pound business Viva la parasites

Clueless

So let me get this right. 11 club owners voted on a new Chairman, owners heavily invested in our sport and its future but some people on here think they know better.

Just watched the owners update at Leigh - some key points about income streams, opportunities, media and fan base. He didn’t put a figure on female memberships other than it is high and getting higher but he did say less than 10% of memberships are to over 65’s. That 24 corporate boxes are already sold for 2026 at about £20k each, he talked about delivering value to commercial partnerships, growing the brand, controlling and growing merchandise and finally about expanding the capacity. Good times ahead, especially as we seem not to be currently reliant on owner charity

You know him or looking in a mirror?

Because a load of clueless tight gits with big opinions probably filled it in - we shouldn’t be having surveys it’s a sign of weakness. Most fans invested in the sport don’t go anywhere near the echo chambers of the self proclaimed illuminati

Yet he is prepared to give his time and money to help those clubs, despite being a Leigh lad, a former Leigh East player and former Leigh board member

Too many fans think we have time to fix the NOW, we don’t - we are here due to the pockets of a few. Most of the fans who profess to know how reach utopia are not willing to remortgage their house confident their way will ensure payback. I have no time for those with big gobs, unwilling to financially back it up but willing to pees off those who are. put up or shut up is the order of the day, if your club needs £500k pa then it only takes 50 of you at each club to remortgage and run the game for 5 years then get your money back

And that’s why they shouldn’t be in it

Not really many successful players would want to finish a long career PLAYING back where it all began eg Hall. He’s signed an extension at Leigh last week though

I see a totally different mix at Leigh games to that of 10 years ago. Yes the hardcore is getting older as folk live longer but the number of families, women and late Teens of both sexes is what has driven our crowds. HKR seems on a similar path as does Wakey.

Halton ONeill and Trout put in huge shifts, add Mulhern to that when he’s back. Halton has been brilliant for weeks

In todays game getting yards from your line and putting you on the front foot is vital. Charnley and Hodgson do that in bucket loads

at least 3000 will be heading over to Saints on Thursday - the seating has already sold out
