More brawls, more sin-bins, more sending offs. Hock given ten minutes twice. Surely it should be like footie and two yellows equal a red? When will the RL question Leigh's disciplinary record?

On a previous topic I have suggested that the RFL have been prepared to turn a blind eye to Leigh's indiscretions.
ie breaking the salary cap, again.
Beaumonts disgusting behaviour, Offering the Bulls players out.
It is obvious that the RFL want Leigh to get promoted so that their decision to appease us fans re promotion and relegation seems to have worked.
The RFL will continue to put up with Leigh's disturbing behaviour.

I know how to give a women a great evening.
MMMMMmmmmm

No doubt Leigh will claim complete innocence again starting with their coach and quickly followed with another dozen or more letters in the RL press saying they are always the victims.

It's either that or just a coincidence that virtually every week the trouble is in the games they are playing in.

Dirty Leigh. The RFL have just built them a cloak room and made four permanent car park spaces available to them.

obsessed much?

Not one ounce of trouble until Batley went behind on the scoreboard, Lillycrop came flying out of the line and hit Acton without the ball maliciously, watch the video, it was there, it happened, leigh got the penalty.


Next scrum fight.


Acton & Lillycrop kicked off, Red cards, right decision.


Spencer flew ut of the line and mis-timed what would have been a great tackle.


Hock had played well all game and was unlucky to get dragged into a scrap he didn't want, dissent on the other hand is just basic.

Cmon John,I think you do Leigh a great injustice,we haven't broken the Salary Cap unless you know something we don't? As for Derek's behavior?As far as I know most of the accusations are only alleged nothing has been proven,and the RL wanting us to get promoted and turning a blind eye is pure Fantasy if we get promoted it will be on merit.
Today's game wasn't dirty there was no trouble till Batley lost the lead,Hock was first sin binned for descent after the Ref put the Leigh Team on a warning,Acton and Lilleycrop deserved to be red carded ,Hock's second yellow was reaction to being wound up,we are far from being a dirty team,though we were average today in our performance.
Anyway another 2 points today,and 2 more points for Fev and London , should be a very interesting finale to the season.Charlie knows.Wigan Infirmary tomorrow ,fasting after 11am tonight.Mmmmmmmmmm.

Charlie, are you Egyptian because you're certainly in denial?

In over 50 years of watching RL the curent Leigh club are far and away the dirtiest outfit I have ever come across.

It's always someone else's fault. The common denominator is simply Leigh. Week in, week out. Rowley will have to think of something else if they get into SL because those type of tactics will be soundly beaten by better full time SL players.

Do you honestly believe that the RFL are colluding to push Leigh into Super League?!

You say we've broken the salary cap, again. Any evidence to show that we've broken the cap this or previous seasons?

The brawl yesterday started after the game was won, with 2 players on Higham before Acton piled in. The Featherstone game was unneccessary handbags until Wood got his fingernails out and against Bradford Siejka and Williams were equally culpable as any Leigh players for the indiscipline in the game. That said, I thought we let ourselves down at home to Fax, with some wild overreactions to messy / niggly rucks. That's the one flare up I struggle to defend the team on.

Probably thinking about the collection buckets.

They also missed Brierly.

I think most teams would miss their first choice scrum half to be fair. Was only rested though, and won the game.

When we finally have a settled first choice scrum half we'll let you know.

Looking through the Leigh posts you guys should really consult with one another.

We have one saying not a bit of trouble until Batley went behind and another saying the entire Leigh team was on a warning.


What was the ref warning Leigh about?
Look out for Batley because if they go behind on the score board you know what they are like



He flew out of the line and it could have been a brilliant tackle but miss timing meant it wasn't

There was a lot of penalties, quite a few for offside, hence the team warning. But no fighting.

One indisputable fact is that Leigh were in the lead when the brawl happened.

Yes, but that's only because Batley were losing.

Leigh got confused and started it anyway, sort of force of habit like.

Faxcar I agree with LeythIg

the Leigh team were put on a warning because of a few offsides and Penalties there was NO foul play till very late in the game.As for myself?I'm from Italy a Napoli Caroli I've never been to Egypt

again there is no firm evidence of wrong doing on Leigh's part , so how can I or any other Leyther be in Denial?
As far as Fax are concerned it's a case of They are Behind you , by that I mean Dews,Fev, and London, but after Sunday it could be a cease of They are in FRONT of you .

whereas Leigh will be in FRONT of the disciplinary board AGAIN

Charlie, is it true that the MC at Leigh games home and away introduce them as "Out of the Red corner" when the come out on to the pitch?

Regarding other teams being "In front of you" I bow to your greater experience in this with Leigh's past track record, especially at Red Hall.



Watch out for them doctors in Wigan, if they find out you are from one of the small suburbs they might slip some rugby sense under that old bowler when you are under and then what would you do, none of the other Leythers would understand what you were saying.



Seriously though, I wouldn't be too surprised if Fax came away from Dewsbury with nothing, it's happened a few times in recent years.

Is this just a visit or the op?

If so I hope it goes okay for you.

Faxcar we at Leigh are not given the praise we deserve, believe me we are NOT a dirty team ,we do have a few players with short fuses who are suspect to being provoked from time to time, as you may know I'm a bit of a closet Fax fan but see next Sundays game for Fax as a MUST win,anyway I've also sent you a PM.

As much as you protest and crave validation for your saintly side the disciplinary attendance at Red Hall would suggest that you are in fact "dirty Leigh". But it's OK. You're still the best.

Charlie your right about Dewsbury being a must win game and I think you can add all the others as well.
The others teams will view it just the same way.
Leigh, Bradford and most likely Sheffield look to have the top 3 spots with say London, Dewsbury and Fax all busting a gut for 4th.
We have all been asking for meaningful games and something to play for and now we have it.

PM answered mate.

Dismissed Fev as non-runners then? They will be upset over at POR!

Sorry Fev, and to anyone else in with a chance.

As an after thought at the other end of the table there is another battle going on involving several other teams to avoid the drop, every game counts.

Thanks for the message Mart

as far as Sundays game for Fax is concerned , should be a cracker so much at stake this season ,a win will see you in the driving seat for a top 4 spot , but a Dews win would put you up against it as Fev and London both have very winnable games and IF we beat Sheffield at the LSV it is all to play for.UP THE FAX as Hudd Shay says.
