| Quote ="WYSIWYG"Next year it will be 5 or 6 Wiggin reserves. Wiggin haven't done this out of the goodness of their hearts. Years ago I can't even imagine Leythers shouting and cheering for a team containing 2 Wiggin reserves, now you just don't bother AND you call Swinton Wolves!!! It's exactly the same. Leigh will be fielding a lot more Wigginers in the seasons to come.
50 years watching Leigh through thick and thin but I won't watch a Leigh club that has merged with Wiggin, but you Plastic Wigginers will. I don't understand you at all. The heart and soul of Leigh Rugby League Club has been sold. Fev, Fax and Sheff are all independent clubs, why can't Leigh be? I know they needed money BUT to sell your club to Wiggin. That is unacceptable. I would rather watch a totally independent Leigh club playing in Champ 1 NOT a Wiggin reserve club playing in the Championship.
Oh so it's only a merger for this year is it? I don't think so not if Wiggin have their way. This is all about Wiggin and what is best for them and you lot have just accepted it. Shame on the lot of you!!!'"
Tim Street and Dave Whittle were Wigan Reserves once upon a time just to name two.
Those two young Props played as part of a LEIGH team with pride and passion for OUR SHIRT yesterday not Wigans.

Me and my dad were driving back listening to the very same.
You would think RL doesn't exist outside of Yorkshire the way they were going on.

| Quote ="Rotherham Fev Fan"
However, the reason we lost was purely that we were the architechts of our own downfall yesterday. We threw four interceptions which gifted 16 points. The defensive blunder which lead to Gardner's try was nothing short of chaotic!
Then, having found themselves 4 points down at the break we play lunatic 'catch up' footy as though we were 20 points behind whilst Leigh just kicked well, and whilst creating nothing all afternoon, just sat back and tackled their @r ses off in a defensive effort similar to Roarke's drift, while our lot disappeared up their own @r ses when they had the ball in their hands!!!
.'"
Thanks for your opinion.
IMO , I think Leigh would have won more convincingly if we had not lost our young scrum half Ryan Brierley to injury early in the second half and not had our stand off Riddy playing all that half on one leg, having literally hobbled off the pitch at half time.
We were also missing skipper Rob Parker in the front row and that is always a big loss however the replacement props were all able to stand up admirably in the end.

To put your head in the sand, you have to get on your knees. You all seem to have got on your knees to Wiggin - I won't because I can see exactly where it will all end and I won't be any part of it. It will all end in tears for Leigh if this partnership isn't dissolved.'"
What is your problem ?And Ostriches put their heads in the Sand , and are not on their knees keeping talking to Ron and Reg .

| I am the only Leyther on here, the rest of you are Plastic Wigginers who have just accepted the merger.
Alex Murphy, John Woods, Tim Street, Des Drummond, Peter Smethurst, Joe Walsh, Dave Chisnall, Kevin Ashcroft et al they have all poured blood against the enemy and you set of Plastic Wigginers accept them as your saviours. You make me sick the lot of you. There isn't a true Leyther amongst you. Most of you probably haven't even seen a full blooded game of Leigh v Wigan. You probably haven't ever seen us stuff the pies.
You keep accepting the merger and it will come back to haunt you in a few years time when Wigan put their reserve coach in charge of Leigh and they play Leigh as a curtain raiser to the first team game played at the Wigan Sports Village. I bet in a couple of years Wigan Council will upgrade the WSV to seat 15,000 spectators.
I am guilty of being a passionate Leyther who is not accepting the merger with Wigan. I have no team to support because of this merger with Wigan and as long as this merger exists I will keep banging the drum for an Independent Leigh Rugby League Club because I believe that the players who have poured blood for this club deserve that.
You lot of plastic Wigginers who support this merger are shameful to Leigh.

| Did your list of players include one or two born in firs?
I will assume this is a strategic wind up and commend you for the quantity of carp you spew to achieve your goal, because nobody with anything between the ears would believe that drivel

| I know this is a clique of Plastic Wigginers that's why a lot of people stay off this board. You all have to agree with each other and slap each other on the back. You don't like debate. Leigh players don't have to be born in Leigh you know that, they just have to be signed up on a proper contract , not a false loan or a DC. I'm against a merged Wigan/Leigh club. You set of Plastic Wigginers just accept it. You really should be ashamed of yourselves.
I'm massively proud to be a Leyther, that's why I won't have anything to do with a Leigh RL club that has sold the soul of the club to Wigan. That's why I will keep banging on about it until this ludicrous merger is dissolved.

When it is dissolved, are you returning Graham?

Pure speculation.
Given the forthcoming restructuring and recent comments from the RFL (google for their twitter Q&A about the policy review) that is likely to lead to a significantly reduced DR system, it also flies in the face of actual evidence of the direction the game is moving in.
The DR system is a farce right now, but there is evidence it is going to change soon.

If it is ever dissolved I will be getting catching that 10:30 train from Mossley and then catching a buzz from Manchester to come and cheer my Leigh team on. After the game I will be catching the 6pm buzz back to Manchester and then catching the 7:18pm train back to Mossley. Then I will settle in front of the TV with a cup of tea and a piece of cake at about 8pm.
How many of you Plastic Wigginers would do that round trip every week????
I am missing watching my Leigh team like mad, but it isn't my Leigh team at the moment.

He will then want some answers on where all the B&Q money went for the sale of the training pitch.Plenty folk will tell you that netted £250 million plus for the club you know.

You absolute Numtpy!!! I have more passion for Leigh RLFC than you have in your little finger nail. What an absolute stupid remark that is. Do you know, when Leigh were going under when John Stringer was in charge, I contacted SKY Sports. I was unemployed and every penny counted because we had 2 little babies to bring up. I started a collection for Leigh on SKY Sports with £5 (which was an absolutle fortune to me at the time) which went on to help save Leigh. DONT ANY OF YOU SAY I AM NOT A LEYTHER. That's why I won't accept this Wigan merger which you Plastic Wigginers accept with open arms.
That is a real Numpty remark from Harold Rigby Numpty Jnr.

When did we last see Leigh score three long range tries, from passing moves? Even if they were Fev passing moves!

Of course you do, that's why you were fully behind the Leigh boys on Sunday like true passionate leythers were
Do not tell me you have more passion for Leigh than me by making exceptionally lame excuses for not bothering anymore. You are simply now an ex Leigh RL supporter nothing more, nothing less.
Go up and tell Riddy or Rob Parker that they are 'plastic Wigginers' after giving their all for our towns Rugby League club.
Either get behind the team like a true passionate Leyther should or go and do your attention seeking elsewhere.

| I can't see the problem with what we are doing, what Swinton are doing is wrong, however their situation is different., they have been playing away from Swinton for a long time now and it's very difficult for them to get fans to LSV, so funds they have are limited and have to do this to stay in this league, wrong but that's why they are doing it.
It's not their fault it's the system that allows it that's so wrong.
