There were some very questionable decisions that prevented Fev being promoted in 2023 IMO. Choice of Long as head coach was a gamble, removing him right at the business end of the year and replacing him with a fairly average coach was an even bigger gamble, and then there was a scattergun approach to recruitment. Signing Aekins was a great move for instance, but signing Aekins whilst retaining MK and BP then playing him in the centres/halfback was mind boggling. Leigh's best signing going in to 2022 was Chris Chester, he has arguably one of the best records of anyone in the UK for identifying talent from Oz when you consider his Leigh and Wakey signings and he's absolutely nailed the recruitment side for us.
