| Quote ="Michael_Ward"Really?!
Seriously?!
Do you live in Sheffield and this is the only game you've attended this season?
I wasn't there, didn't see the performance — but how can you focus so much on one performance? There have been so many other great matches, either because of skill or simple entertainment.
I'd say the bigger problem with getting people to watch Leigh is that we're in a town full of people that turn up (whether it's at the match or more likely the pub) with the attitude that no matter what happens, we've ALWAYS been rubbish and always will be. Regardless of evidence.'"
Michael I feel I have to disagree with your last statement ,I know plenty of Leythers who follow the Tean home and away , and no matter how the Team play they cheer them off at the end , as was done after last nights Game at the Don V ,these diehard fans would never rubbish the Team , and turn out every week cheering the lads on , we may have a few who are never satisfied , or always find some reason not to attend games , but some Leythers never stop Beleigh ving .

| I am sure the vast majority of returning supporters would be made very welcome. I would love to say all returning supporters......but I would find it difficult to accept the bile spitters piggy backing on the back ofthe hard earned cash I have chosen to point towards the clubs coffers.

| I couldn't agree more, of course we want people "back" and new supporters as well but there are some very bitter people out there for some reason.
You either love the club and will follow it through thick and thin or you move on. I've had it out with a few people with regards to their "attitude" towards the players in particular even in our SL season. I got stick for applauding the players off the pitch when we got stuffed at home v Wire in SL because I knew giving them stick wouldn't help and a couple of drunken fools who I've never seen at a game before or after gave me pelters for it. I wasn't putting up with it and neither was the group that gathered behind me.
Here's the line in the sand, join us or jog on!

| Shouldn't be any lines or ultimatums. This kind of talk just makes any divides wider or differences stronger. Let people say what they feel. Agree or disagree and don't get dragged into silly arguments. If you give be proud you do and just get on with it.

Absolute garbage.
Even though you're totally wrong about the type of Rugby we play, even if we did play boring Rugby and win fans keep coming.
Look at Stoke City, play awful football, but their crowds are huge because the team wins, crowds are down, in most sports because they havn't got any money. Even Man Utd can't sell out most games.

| The way I see it is like this ( me being a currently part timer )
League matches at home entertainment is important
League matches away and all knock out games, win is priority

| I didn't go to Sheffield but have seen the team play with varying styles this season.
I'd imagine PR will be looking at the opposition and playing to our strengths which at times means tailoring the better style of RL for a more direct style.
Most people like the entertaining RL and I'd say we have been playing some cracking stuff but at times we might need to go more bland / direct to get results.
I'd say we are still moving in the right direction on & off the field which is the main thing after a few years of instability.

Watch it on Centurions TV doesn't look like that to be honest.
Ref made a bad mistake in Sheffield's favour on about 38 minutes. Watch it. I am not making it up.

Was that the 'free play' non-advantage Frank? The TJ stood a yard forward of where Finnigan stepped into touch. He must have said the ball went into touch before the Sheffield player touched it. But my view is that he put his foot in touch after collecting the ball, and not where the TJ was stood, either.
Still, that's just one incident in hundreds, eh?

| The Sheffield player picked it up in the field of play but had a foot on the touchline when he did hence the flag from the touch judge.
That means scrum down and Leigh put in but the ref got it wrong and the touch judge should have known too but obviously had a brainstorm or he would have corrected the decision' or should have.
I honestly think we are capable of winning there in the playoffs.
Having said that' on the night I think Sheffield deserved the win.

| About 51 minutes on the video. Brierley kicks the ball over the line and is deliberately pushed out of the way by the Sheffield forward with the headband. He would have scored and we just got the penalty.
I have watched it 3 times just to be sure. Ah well next time.

Seems a bit strange pushing him with the headband.

I thought he would have scored at the time, but less sure after seeing it again. The ref has to be certain, to award the try, doesn't he?

Didn't Sheffield get a penalty try in the playoffs against us in 2011? IIRC Robbie hunter Paul was adjudged to have tackled here without the ball...
