Are you a Batley fan trying to play things down ?

If not, we may be a bit tougher than you think.

We shall see . . . .

Go on then, give us your informed assessment of the new players we've recruited for 2014. I'm intrigued as to why you believe our new players are 'mediocre' and 'underwhelming'?

He seems to be a Yorkshire RL fan Jim, I am sure we know next week will be tough - but more importantly PR will know that.
Our team looks much better than last year and has much more depth to it, if we get a ref who allows things to flow then I am confident we can come through well.

Seems ex player Kieron Purtill will be interviewed in the Ledgends bar next Sunday and no doubt will explain how easy it is to beat the Pies.

I hope we get a ref that that allows the game to flow too. Although saying that Littler, McNally, Goulden and Barlow can be niggly to say the least so I hope the ref has some balls as well.

Just had a look at Leigh's website and you certainly do have a good looking squad and will have 17 quality players all year long. Mick Govin for me is as good as half back or hooker in the division.

I did hear a story, from a very good source at Fax that Alex Brown turned down a £18k signing on fee with them to join you boys for more money, so hopefully KPMG won't come a knocking.

you heard wrong.

I believe the key to our season will be our pack, especially in the second half of games. Big, mobile, fit and a good mix of youth and experience. Tough to contain for 80 mins.
This will be a very competitive season but I firmly believe we have the team and depth to be in the top 2.

This is a leigh forum we are not going to put are team down are we if you don't like what's on it don't come on.

Would be very foolish to under estimate Batley I'm 100% sure Rowls won't !!

No it isn't a private forum so go with the flow and join the banter. It sounds as if you are the one who doesn't like what is posted.

Sports fans have talked up their own team since Adam was a lad, get used to it.

Sorry my mistake I thought it was a Leigh forum where Leigh fans post about there own team. Must of got it wrong

KPMG

The ones who did the financial scrutiny for Franchises

We have nothing to fear then, especially as we bank in the Tax Haven of Hag Fowd

It is nominally a Leigh forum but it would be very boring if visitors weren't encouraged to comment particularly when they are going to or have played Leigh.

Make your mind up you said it was a private forum . ....it's also boring when people try to run it.i

No, I said this:-

Add to that Barlow not taking a pay cut to join them, Leigh must have spent a lot of money for this season. I guess that is who Mark Aston was having a pop at when he mentioned about teams putting all their eggs in one basket.

Anyway Im going to go for a Batley shock in this one as Leigh seem to have problems with in fighting and also havnt really set the world alight pre-season against some poor teams.

Hi Greg, I'll take that bet, how much?

The club is tighter than a Yorkshireman's wallet, and as for the finances - they are very healthy, ask the RFL, in fact with a bucket we could help pay your rent that a Halifax Town fan said you owe



This seasons build up has been the biggest in my lifetime, the plethora of new and previous sponsors has put us in a nice place and the lack of negativity coming from the towns Meldrews has been almost non existent.

Pauls got the armoury to win this war, and I cant wait!!

Remember season tickets are still on sale and equate to 3 FREE games per season together with a FREE under 16's season ticket for every adult/concession sold

Get down to the LSV early and enjoy the build up with the other passionate fans, the Legends bar will be something special on Sunday and those in will be in for a real treat



SIX DAYS TO GO

Must be doing summat right if opposition clubs seem to have suddenly taken such an interest in us.

You love having a dig at Leigh,I don't think I have ever read anything positive about Leigh from you ,every year its the same old garbage.You just go on believing what you want and we will see who has the last laugh.

Leigh are in a much better position than we have been for some time and I'm confident we are doing more things right than wrong, we might not finish in the top 2 but I don't think we will be far off.

Well Greg is obviously entitled to his opinions but his post this time is clearly a wind up and it seems to have suceeded.

Wigan Salford Warrington poor team then ?

Don't upset him Twitch

he complains about folk who post things he doesn't like .

Charlie knows .

Batley will be a very tough game and I think it will be close.
They always give us a very hard game on our patch and its tough start for our new lads to gell in.
However I'm going for a Leigh win 24-16.

Already for our game against Batley Giants
