Make it 9!

Is the role of Forum Moderator to help or hinder? Atomic's behaviour seems more than a little infantile. Does it also help if they are able to write in English - "Yes H.. How’s the lack of feeding back to the site your at going?" I am afraid this is just gibberish.

Just for Atomic - "Gibberish" - NOUN
unintelligible or meaningless speech or writing; nonsense.

Feel really sorry for James Bell. I picture him settling down at home while recovering from injury to read the three pages of posts about his latest performance.

Shouting out in horror to Mrs Bell "Remember the short story - I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream by the late Harlan Ellison? - that sad tortured character is here eating my freaking forum topic!"

Assessment of James Bell, or as Lammy likes to call him Bell(y) (in that great Rugby League tradition of adding a Y to a name). Bell is too good for Leigh and not good enough for Saints. St Helens have a non-event Cup match against Whitehaven and want to give him a run out. He unavailable for fitness/injury reasons and so will probably continue at Leigh in order to get some game time.
The best hope is that he spends most of the season at Leigh and we re-sign him at the end of the season. There are are very few genuine 13's in the game, and personally I think the game is poorer for it.

I disagree with your opinion that Bell is to good for Leigh , for me Leigh are worthy of any great player , in the past John Woods , and Alex Murphy ,and had in Harry Pinner one of the best 13s ever to grace the game .
James Bell is a very modest guy , I have spoken to him a couple of times , in Pennington Hall Park , he is glad to be playing at Leigh ,and I feel an offer us so much , I’d love to see Dan Norman sign for us as well,hopefully James will be fit enough to feature on Friday night for us .

I am not trying to be disrespectful to Leigh's great traditions, but we have to be honest about our place in the food chain. Leigh are currently somewhere between 10th and 15th best Rugby clubs in the Country (including 2 French Teams). St Helens are the number one team, that incorporates a shed load of players of various abilities.

If a young John Woods was at Leigh now, I can guarantee he would be playing for Wigan, Saints, or Warrington next season.

Leigh have seen some great players, but they always appear at the twilight of their career - Tommy Martyn, Sir Harry Pinner, Micky Highham and Fuifui Moimoi. The days of paying big money for Mike Ford, David Stephenson et al have gone. Leigh depend on young career aspiring players or bad boy Aussies, with drug, drink, gambling or sexual peccadilloes and a desire to get away from the glare of the Aussie media.

Not sure what your point is?
Mine was the fact that despite a good draw in the cup this forum has become so toxic that very few people post.
Not aware of a rule that you can only have an opinion based on the volume of posts., (full stop comma to keep things uniformed)

Good luck with your 5th post.

Bell injured.

Thanks, unsure what is so funny though . Tiny things amuse tiny minds I suppose.

How do I report inappropriate posts

OK you can count, now can you sling your bloody hook.

Click on the yellow triangle next to the "Quote" icon, your message goes to the site moderators.

Site admin acted on this.
Let’s clean this forum up and play nice like we always did.

So what did site admin do?

It will became apparent soon I’d say

Looks like they removed the problem.

Looks like a large enough group of members said "enough is enough" and complained independently, prompting the site moderators to take action.

Good to see.
Hopefully some of the old regulars will now return and we can see more informed discussion rather than the petulant cynical comments which ruined this forum.

Bit disappointed, I wanted a few more wows after I’ve posted.

As the old saying goes, "Least said, soonest mended".

So...about James Bell...

Precisely Deeks, hopefully he will guest with us again on Good Friday , I hope so .

WOW!!!!!!!

Same here, Charlie, for the enjoyment of all Leythers that make the trip though Bongser will be at work on Good Friday. 17 days without RL in the flesh? Toying with the weather dependant idea of going to the rearranged Bulls v Barrow match. London at LSV ringfenced though and hope to see Belly with us then too.
