That's like me saying I like Wire and their fans , I liked Cullen to a point but I don't want them to win anything because of Simon Moran
Ridiculous

| Yesterday we had a stinker.
Collectively our team somehow completely forgot how to catch or pass a rugby ball.
Jonny Pownall (who i rate highly) had a NIGHTMARE at full back. He dropped everything, his passes went everywhere. Toulouse scored their one try due to him slipping on his ar$e trying to deal with a kick and they picked it up and strolled over. We need Smith back (or McNally) as JP clearly isn't a fullback.
We stunk, but if the team was ill then it explains a lot.
Our defence wasn't bad, the effort was there (when you are stood 5 yards from the pitch you can hear the players clearly and they were trying) but sometimes you just have one of those days. Everything we did went wrong.
Toulouse impressed me, they were the best side we have played this season.
It has been a great weekend. Didn't expect to get soaked to the bone playing in the South of France though! Wasn't a cloud in the sky in the 1st half then 2nd half was thunder, lightening and the heaviest rain I have ever seen.
Also ended up getting drunk with the Toulouse Winger Kuni Minga in the Melting Pot after the match which was a laugh.
Great weekend, poor performance.
Glad this performance came in a Cup game. The league is what is important this season and we are top at the minute. Use this defeat as a kick up the backside and make amends next week at Fev.
Featherstone is going to seem a bit of a comedown after a trip to Toulouse

My feelings exactly on your club, I detest "whinging Pom" Smith and it goes back to his parachute days with Huddersfield and his almighty arrogance ! you wont win anything without Sandow however, with him, youll likely win the lot! hope not

I doubt jukes will be in charge next season, infact if he is, then I will eat a hat, not my own, because I do not own one'"
Its easy to blame the coach when we lose however, the players are culpable too ! Jukes may be at fault I'll need to see the game first but beware! sacking the coach dosnt always bring about a remedy, check out HKR, they sack Chris chester who took them to Wembley last season, install Webster and lose to a lowly championship club at home ! meanwhile, Chris Chester goes from strength to strength at Wakefield

I can't believe no one HAS slated you yet. lol
If it wasn't for Higham, mate, we wouldn't be top of the league IMO.

Allow me to be the first!
You've only got to see the drop in our dominance when Micky s off the field !
Beswick has many attributes however, playmaker is not amongst them !
The biggest loss for us was Penky he was our real inspiration !

| Ah Leigh, if it isn't opposition fans then its our own fans running around like Chicke Littles after every suspect result.
As per, it is never dull.

I thought Higham looked lively against Toulouse. he tried to inject some pace but the others except for Whiting and paterson didn't support him. Disappointed with the Leigh attitude, they seemed sluggish and surpised at the line speed of the French in the first half. The game would have been all over at HT if the French hadn't fumbled three tries. Bad handling from both sides cost dearly. Scrappy game but the best team won in this one-off meeting.
Great to see the usual Leythers at the match yet again - you lot have the greatest travelling fans ever .
Big Derek B was great after the game, gracious in defeat - he gave the MOM Planas a signed Leigh shirt, top man.

| Best team won. We were pretty awful to say the least. However if we'd taken the penalties on offer we would be in the hat for next round.

| If hitler hadn't been born would we have any event the same since 1939. Every action has a reaction, by not taking two we were in a position to get the next opportunity by taking two the whole series of events would be different, why we debate this afterwards is beyond stupid.

These forums thrive on debate, if you think it is stupid then ignore it. I think we should have taken two, others disagree but neither view is stupid.

We have for the last few years refused to take the kickable penalty and a safe 2pts to level a game or go ahead.We did the same v Wakey last year when we were losing by 1pt and had an opportunity to tie the game with a DG from 10 yds out, but we tried the miracle play and came away with FA.Sometimes our onfield game management is sadly lacking,if nor entertaining.

I know the games moved on since the Murphy era and our cup final win but seldom did our teams in those days come away from the opposition half with out scoring,even if it was only a drop goal.The object of the game is to score more points than the opposition by whatever means you can.It was obvious on Saturday that our attack wasn't operating well so to ignore the chance of points via penalties was bad team mangament

| Then debate tactics, few SL take two with 30 mins left when well on top. We rarely take two in the same position as you lose field position and take the risk of giving the opposing team possession in your half and losing momentum. Taking two on Saturday lost us the game imo as TO were under the cosh and on team warnings, taking two said we accepted we couldn't score and they lifted.
If you have a policy to always take the two then fair enough, but then we will be whinging when we cough up and concede six
