There are [iloads[/i of positives surrounding Leigh Centurions at the moment, but do we have a problem with indiscipline?

For me, we currently do have, which needs addressing asap. It's been creeping up on us for a few weeks now I feel.

And having just watched the reserves play at Dewsbury last night, indiscipline was evident again.

Having checked the disciplinary page on the RFL website, we do have the poorest disciplinary record in the Championship. Does not make good reading

I'm suprised that you're suprised

How is this a shock to you?

Could be about to get a whole lot worse, good job you hired that sports lawyer......

Homer why don't you just say what you think you have heard and why you believe it ?

Really winds me up when Leigh are seen as a dirty team and everyone we play are Angels,particularly when Fax fans jump on the band wagon.
Our record is not good but how many straight reds have we had over the last couple of seasons,not many .
We get caught out responding to continuous niggling,slowing the game down,sly digs and this will always be the case when you play like we are doing at present and have some players who are known to respond.

I'm not defending our disciplinary record it needs to improve but so do others in the Championship and SL where a blind eye to lots of indiscipline is evident ever week.

I think some of backs in particular get more late hits than any other team and this again is something we have had to live with,but two wrongs don't make a right and we must learn to walk away from trouble.

Why, do you watch us play every week ? Obviously because we 'keep winning games' we feel the need to "rough it up "
Oh and well done ant7t2...invites lots of posts from other clubs Trolls.
Why not start a thread, say for example "We are not as good as we think we are"

Getting quite sick of the we know something you don't know from Fev and now fax fans , you know nowt !!!
We are better then everyone else and no one can praise us and say well done
We have to be cheating or dirty etc etc etc

"Trolls" will ALWAYS be around wherever the internet is in use. The internet is a lovely safe breeding ground for the cowards that they are. Nothing will change that.

But, there is no way I am not posting about certain things just to keep so-called trolls at a minimum. Sorry, Budgie.

Some folk really make me laugh on here...

The fact that you used the word "could" speaks volumes...

Discipline isn't a problem as such , I suspect its more frustration.
What the players need to do is hope that the officials (touch judges, ref etc) see the off the ball stuff that often causes our players to react and which has been on the increase for a while.

Its a huge compliment that certain opposition players and coaches feel the need to use the off the ball stuff to compete with us and whilst it must be frustrating for our players that it does sometimes seem to go unpunished we have to leave the ref /touch judges to control the game and not react, its harder but much better to smile or blow a kiss at the protagonists and realise that at some point the pendulum will turn and we will get the calls in a game rather than after a game.

I don't claim to have any inside knowledge, all I know is everytime I've seen Leigh play they've been dirtier than a curry house that has run out of toilet paper

there's no doubting you're one hell of a team but there is a reason why you're always in trouble

Well have to admit that is a good post.

your point is exactly ? are our reserves a dirty team as well or was it just a one off. please let me know

Some of the Leigh reserves played with indiscipline last night. 2 sin-binned tells you enough.

Not sure where you got the word "dirty" from though. I never said that.

really - that is absolutely shocking !

Yeah, shocking. Absolutely too! I couldn't really believe my eyes!!

In fact, I almost shed a tear.

Are you taking into account the "No Charge" or just names on there?

why luv ?

Don't think we have any sorry of problem with indiscipline at all. Getting a bit of a problem with insubordination to refs which needs stopping but that's it. Might be top of Championship disciplinary but not by much & much better than many super league teams. Always makes me laugh when other teams call us dirty, notice how it's only ever the dirtiest, roughest, most physical teams that call us dirty, teams that play good rugby never seem to have any sort of problem at all. Funny that. Our "indiscipline" is nothing but the fantasy of fans of teams that can get away with bullying smaller teams but don't like it when we can do it to them better than they can do it to us.

We have to learn to respect the referee and get on with the game. They get some right for us and some wrong, like with EVERYTEAM. As SalfordLad said somewhere, like players, they have good and bad days which occasionally affect the result, but not as much as missed tackles and poor handling does.

There is nothing wrong with our discipline, just occasionally our players attitude towards referees.

It's called sarcasm, sunshine.

And Touch Judges..

Jake Liam and a Batley player all gave statements to say jake did not abuse the linesman and the RFL backed their linesman as he said he knew 100%what Jake said , obviously Liam would back Jake but why would a Batley player lie ?
