I'll have a piece of that....where can I meet you after the game?

We were tired and they were not tired hence they won we did'nt and i'm sure under different circumstances the outcome would have told another story.

yeh - I remember the "smash em all over the park" comment last week!!




You may well beat us at our gaffe. In recent years you've done well against us. But like I said at the weekend, all the Tubthumping has a habit of making you look daft!!!!
I'll reserve my comments til after the event!!!





Keep smiling owd cock!

theres the rub!!

our dual reg lads are head and shoulders better than all other clubs, so it makes a big difference when they're not out on the paddock.

I'm sure your defeat to us last night was just a blip, i've seen you 3 times this season and been very impressed, granted you have some more DR players but your own players aren't too shabby either.
We had the same scenario last time out against toulouse, we were sluggish and let them get under our skins, we weren't tired though we were poor. I don't buy the too tired thing though, they are all fit sportsmen and you had more time off since your last match than you'd have between a sunday game followed by a sky match.
That said i'm quite certain that both clubs are suprising all the rest with our starts and I for one can see it being us two at the end of the season bunfight.
Good luck Sunday though you won't need it, haven can't tackle full stop and after a couple of quick tries their heads go down, you'll hammer them.
all the best

Some fans are moaning about stanton ie. weak in defence/hi-ball/no trys
anybody playing on the left wing alstead/stanton will not get many trys.
The 9 trys that dave alstead as got how many were score on the left wing [1 for D.parky
Stanton work rate was very good last nite look at the yards the team makes after stanton as took the ball in 9 time out off 10 he wins the floor and get a fast P.T.B maden made an half break off the last nite and also at bradford.
imo he should be on the righ wing maden a chance last nite and cut back inside.

Our right is gash, last night the sticky plaster was removed and they got to the wound.
Blythe to wing Higson to centre.
McCarthy and Mitchell give us line speed, Emmett impact and offload. Morrison, LuLu and Stanton do not fill what we have taken away.
We need to know where we stand with the DC's as we plan the business end.
We must win the NRC or reach the GF, that must be our focus.

But thats the thing with the DCs of the standard we have. Any of them can be called into their SL teams squad at any time. Their club has first call, which must make it difficult for Basil coaching wise. It would be nice if the SL team could gaurantee the player won't be used by them for the rest of the season, but it just isn't going to happen

Recalled and played I have no issue with, recalled and not played cant be good for them or us.
ie what is the policy, bring them into the squad for experience of game day only or to play them.

What is the policy, ask the RFL. Basically we are expected to be grateful of the opportunity (which I am sure we are) and live with the obvious inconvenience. We've been far luckier than some who have tried to take advantage of this system...Widnes I think being a case in point. Noticed Ainscough will be missing for the next 3 weeks for offences not even committed whilst playing for Widnes

You could put the best winger in the world on the the left wing and he would not get any ball/kicks alstead and stanton only get the ball from D/H are going 1st man at the PTB.

Shawshank do you watch the same Leigh team, we use the full length of the pitch on both sides and the backs see plenty of the ball, they usually dont have the pace or guile to get through!

I must be at the bar when nanyn puts is winger away.
mick nanyn 17 games no tries assists [not have a pop at mick by the way
Alstead/stanton can go 80mins and not get 1 pass are a short in goal kick to chase.

aye, Stanton has to take it up 'the middle' of the field, trying to burrow under folk.

I suggest you buy a DVD off Freddie.

I wish someone would

who ?

Dewsbury away on sky higson went off after 20mins stanton playing left wing did not get 1 pass in the in 60mins from a leigh player he got a pass off a dewsbury play when nanyn missed a tackle and stanton got back to stop a try.

Toulouse away i watch this game on the net stanton played the full 80min he got 1 pass all game he scored a good try from a very good ridyard kick.

widnes played 44min not 1 pass alstead played 38min not 1 pass

fev on teusday played 80mins not 1 pass from halfback/centre

Chris Dean played in friendlies,ainscough has rarely played,Farrell has gone back and is doing well for Wigan.Ben Davies is the only one that has played regularly.To be honest you have done well to keep your dual registered players.

oops

You spent some time looking for that thread....... well done.....

Well iv never met a set of fans that leave there sens open as much, at the start of the year you never stopped mocking after the rail cup. You were going to do this that and the other with the returning Basil Brush, we were in a false position bla, bla, bla. You even sang to our fans at your "were was u when u wa shiiite" good how these things have a habit of coming back, the only club who have brought less fans was Toulouse

And how many fans COULD'NT make it due to being stuck on the M62 (incl. the supprters coach)? Still more there than you bring to Leigh you hassole!

YOUR CLEVER< get your facts right.
I run the supporters coach and we was all on the bleeding motorway, stuck for and hour and half and ended up watching the game in a pub in Prestwich, and a lot of fans who travelled in cars will have been stuck in the same traffic jam.

he cant say much 1600 fans in attendence!
