So all those saying what a poor decision and we're doomed. Were you happy with the half-back selections, or the inability to move the ball out wide,and not getting decoy runners making defences think

Maybe it would help a bit, if the club could put out an interview with James Ford before the next match. Maybe spell out, how he see things and the way forward. Could calm things down a bit, and hopef

Totally the right decision.  I said at HT yesterday that maybe a defeat would be a good result in the long term.  I understand why some fans think this is a knee jerk reaction and that we've lost only

Probably the right decision, but I’m far from convinced that James Ford is the answer. 

I said the same day James Ford came he would be next coach,we shall see.

A big decision at this stage of the season. And anyone looking in will think it odd after winning 17 out of 19 league games. Let's hope it doesn't cost us the holy grail.

I’m working on the basis that I’ll be visiting Halifax, Bradford, Batley again next season. 
 

We’ve cocked it up again

Is there more to this? It seems really odd that Fev are top of the Championship, with only a couple of defeats, play offs looming with Super League the prize why would you want to cause the upheaval of bringing in a new coach, what has Sean Long done to upset the Apple cart?  Fordy was at the Knights match on Saturday  watching Toulouse apparently.

Not too surprised, when it showed them in the stand yesterday they didn't look together. They sat a couple of seats apart and there didn't seem to be any communication. 

With Long clearly miffed when Ford was recruited, and the rumors of Long going to Warrington as assistant maybe its a logical end.

What will the effect be, only time will tell.

What a load of BS from the club

. The Board have backed this ambition by investing in a playing squad of Super League quality

NO you haven't  leigh had a super league team were nowhere near 

have been disappointed therefore in this season’s team performance against some of our promotion rivals. 

we've lost two games sitting 8 point's clear  at top of table

Nowt to stop James going to York we weren't playing. People can say what they want but this is down to money, plus the rugby hasn't been much different to last season and there's rumours Longys off to Warrington.

As I've posted before I make that 11 (including caretakers) who've come and gone since Powell went in 2013.

Sean Long is a good coach but is distracted easily, He had a stint coaching at London Broncos  did his job well but returned back North after "a incident " while he was at Royal Ascot for the day..

Burgess has been announced as Warrington coach, Marshall as assistant, with a second assistant to be announced.

Seems like the rumors are to be confirmed.

True B but not while 24 Chambers will remain in interim charge for the remainder of the 2023
