HOW can Leigh RL chairman Mick Higgins go away for two weeks, missing three games, and still expect the fans keep on supporting the club?

He keeps on saying he is dedicated to the club and he only does it for the Leigh club. But the fans are beginning to suspect all he does is for - Mick Higgins.

He is all talk. It is rumoured he has been less than 100 miles away, setting up his new home. If that is true, surely he could have come back to the matches - or was he running away from the fans?

I only hope he is not going to travel every day from his new home to Leigh. We will need all Murdoch's money to keep Mr Higgins in work. I am sure the club would be better off if he went away for good.

If he intends to stay at Leigh it is time he had a public meeting to let everyone know what is going on at the club and what future we have.

Does he intend floating some shares then we can have a shareholders meeting and see a balance sheet? Come on Mr Higgins . . . be open with the fans.

We are now down to less than 800 spectators with approximately 300 of them on Sunday from Hull KR. You can't blame Norman Turley. You can't do a job without the right tools.
