What a disrespectful comment.We will see where you are at the end of the season.

Did seem harsh that and may come back to bite unless he mean't you can get away will ill discipline against Leigh
as there's traditionally was twice as bad

I thought you would like it Charlie.

I found it quite disrespectful that you put ourselves and Fev in the same bracket as Leigh.

Early days yet.

BJ , that’s how I see it about returning to bite you,I don’t think we are any worse though , than the other teams with our Ill Discipline, granted Pownall deserved the response he got from his actions.But I enjoyed the game, not the Classic I hoped for but still a decent game.Good Luck for the rest of the season.

I put all the teams in the same bracket at the start of the season, how dare we have the audacity to beat Toulouse one of your BETTER teams, but we DID ,and will beat a couple of others before the season is over.
I realise I did forecast Fax and Fev to fight out 5th spot this season and I stand by that , but only my opinion, I don’t see Leigh any better or worse than other Clubs after 2 games.
Anyway I’m sure as the season progresses you will find your quote returning at some stage.
Enjoy the season should be a a Classic.

Very True Griff, very early , I however must applaud your own team in your impressive start,well done,it’s always good to see other teams doing well.Sincerely hope you have a good season.

Toronto v Widnes this weekend will be an interesting marker......

Its just banter Charlie, what I say and where i think we or anyone else will finish has no bearing whatsoever over the final standings. As I said on the leigh forum though I don't think Leigh will be within 6 pts of us come the end of the season. If it bites me on the ass i really couldn't give a rats.

We're better than last season, Charlie. But our next two games, against Bradford and Widnes, will provide a better marker of where we are.

Nobody loves banter more than me,so I accept that,and as you say you are full entitled to your opinion,I had a bit of wind up in the 3 pigeons and Vic bar before Sunday’s game .
We didn’t make a break on Sunday which was disappointing,after the Toulouse game,I think we will approach Sunday’s Fev game with different options.
Anyway plenty of twists and turns before the seasons out,have a good season,I’m looking forward to it, we do need a couple of additions however I’m just hopeful.

Well I was pleasantly surprised at both your results up to now ,Barrow is never an easy place to win at,I’m not sure how big your squad is , but at Leigh we need a couple of additions , as I said , I never underestimate anyone.

Never under-estimate the impact of two good half backs. Those around them, who maybe haven't stood out before, suddenly become players to watch.

Talking Toronto V Widnes

Is this in Canada as I thought all the games were been played in blocks but sky have them down as the home team ?

Being played in Newcastle,yes it's all bent as usual and not an even playing field.Widnes don't have the inconvenience of travel to Canada this season.

"All teams are equal, but some are more equal than others", to paraphrase the pigs, in Orwell's[i Animal Farm[/i.

However, Widnes could well suffer the inconvenience of playing several more matches than Toronto, if they enjoy good cup runs in the Challenge Cup and 1895 Cup - competitions which Toronto chose not to enter, or were not invited to enter!

Same sport, different rules. It's all getting farcical and makes you wonder if it's worth following the game at times. The Championship should be such a fantastic league this season but it's skewed up so much it's unreal. But some clubs voted for it so hey-ho, moan over. Lol!

Most of our players haven't stood out before because they've only just arrived. Or returned.

21 players last year, 12 out, 14 in.

Was it the convenience of playing in Lahndahn that tipped you into the top four last year ?



Hope so, as it looks like our away game against Toronto will be in Lahndahn. The Belgrade (not in Russia, as an geographically-challenged ex-referee suggested to me) fixture looks unlikely.

Hardly, we got stuffed down there, not travelling has to help in other ways though. Why Toronto picked London to play us is another matter. Same game, different rules.

It's the game after you come back that's the problem.

It was Sheffield away-so it wasn't a problem we'd have won that even if we'd had to come back from the moon....

There were two problems at the Sheffield game, the pitch with all it's markings which just shouldn't be allowed, and the heat. I don't think I've ever attended a match played in such conditions, I was exhausted sat watching it with beer in hand, how the players coped is beyond me. Up The Fax!

True that tinny temporary 'stand' was a godsend..

It's not as big this year.
