After all those years maybe you could provide the treatment?

Not contributed to this thread but reading that sum's it all up tbh. Ok not all of them but a vast NUMBER think Champ fans no nothing about RL, TBH it's worse elsewhere but still.

The championship iz were itz at.

Respect to the homiez

Good old Dalton. Never let's you down with his bitchin'

Quality

It's the only thing I do at all well. I'd be a great radio phone in host.

You would be a less cheesy version of Allan Partridge!

Slightly more grumpy though

Deffo...

"You have big sheds, but nobody's allowed in. And in these sheds you have 20ft high chickens, and these chickens are scared because the don't know why they're so big, and they're going, "Oh why am I so massive?" and they're looking down at all the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small. Do you deny that? No, I think his silence speaks volumes."

careful, or the some annoyed farmers may well drop a dead cow on you

Are you the prank caller? Thought so...

i realise this may constitute derailing or some description, but i just had a random look on the leigh board and found that. this crap is really starting to get me down!

I told you

Don't look

i just find it rather upsetting that more often than not i cant have a random look about the boards without finding crap like that. its very tiresome now.

It's a bit of bitterness and envy.

I do understand about the on-field situation being less important than the rest of the criteria though. But that's not our fault. That is just the way it is. You can cry about it and stay where you are, or go with it and actually back the RFL into a corner. The other clubs moaned, while SOC went for it. In doing so, it did have a bit of a knock on effect with regards to on-field performance.

It’s a bit rich coming from a Leyther though. They've done all for years now and are lucky not to have been relegated last year, while we've been in two cup finals.

The ironic thing is they are only upset because no-one is talking about them and they moan on and on about franchising because they aren't invoved, and why is that?

Oh yes... because they didn't perform ON THE PICTH

Lads, they're right. It should not be about the state of a clubs finances but how they performed on the pitch as to what division they find themselves in.

And that's why until Leigh have been demoted to Championship 1 as they deserve to I wont be paying them any attention.

They've already benefitted from backroom politics, now it's our turn.

Good point, J20



I still doubt they would understand the irony.

I did notice one or two very sensible posts from Leythers on that thread. So they’re not all bad.

im used to the nonesensical, hypocritical crap. its the attiitude to toa that got me. a great servant of the game deserves more respect than that. especially one who retired through injury.

You are absolutely correct smurfster...
It's a shame that this guy was forced to stop playing through injury and I know from speaking to his sister in law that he literally explored every avenue to try to keep on playing. It really devastated him that he couldn't take part in last years NR Cup final.
It's a shame that some people revel in the fact that he isn't playing anymore. I wouldn't appreciate it if anyone on here posted similar comments about Neil Turley.

Leigh fans are as bad as those in SL tbh.

Look over their posts a lot think they have the right view on franchises and everyone else is wrong. Moan about everything yet offer no solutions and when one does they get shot down.

FFS there's a Halifax thread about what people are doing on franchise day and star girl and co have told them not to bother it's pointless.

They are an embarrassment!

Who, Halifax?

does anyone know if star girl is single?

lmao!
or even female? it would be good to work that out first.
has anyone else noticed these ads for the Rugby lovers website? not sure if they were on here or an facebook. the site for 'rugby loving singles to meet'? i might sign up and make it my mission to scandalise any rugby loving ladies of 'easy virtue' in the north west.
its a noble quest.

back on topic lads n lasses .....


top o' league 'avin a laugh

is that a statement or a question?

I refuse to take the pee out of you guys until you're in SL.

Now when it's announced that you are joining us again (it's been too long) i will take the mick out of all the overrated aussie journey men you sign and how Salford put 50 on you and all the pastings you get in season 1.

Until then keep on trucking.

only a fool would expect anything other than some serious pastings along the way. its a very steep learning curve. if all goes well on thursday then if anyone has the drive and the funds to get this club going places its Steve O'connor. given the chance who knows where we might be in 3 years, or 6 years. i would take a season or two of pastings if it meant getting somewhere in the long run.
i look forward to reaffirming some old and sadly neglected rivalries, assuming all goes well next week. (and being a viking, thats a big assumption if we go on past RFL form)
