Now that is funny. It was like 'Wheres Wally trying to spot a Sheffield fan. I note we gave you your best attendance to date, and considering London have very few fans that travel, the 361 attendance for your game against them must be the sum total of Sheffield fans. That was more than you took to the NR Cup Final too, now that was embarrassing.

Looking at it from the West Stand, it looked pretty much evenly spread to me.

You do realise you come across as quite pathetic.

Its just a cultural thing. We're from Yorkshire, they aren't. Don't try and understand, just accept. We tend to forget how fortunate we are. Bulls had an ongoing thing with Saints for a few years, and Leeds took over then ......... not a lot of love lost there. Fortunately there's only one club from the dark side in this league and plenty of Yorkshire derbies.

We've seen a few "country mile" sides come along. Halifax, Fev, now Leigh.

Here today, run out of money tomorrow.



Enjoy the rain.

The NRC final was poor, but it had zero interest from the club supporters with a challenge cup quarter final the week after

What ? A cup final which we at least looked to have a very good chance of winning as opposed to a quarter final which we had a very good chance of losing ?

Please - don't embarrass the club with implausible excuses.

Charlie always thought he was the one who always talked Rubbish , but reading this load of tripe make me realise I now have a challenger ,this poster would make a great CLOWN ,and would be most welcome at the Tower Circus ,I repeat a load of owd tripe.Charlie knows.

Just viewed Moaning Marks Aston's after match comments ,my God that bloke can moan for Great Britain ,He's deffo worse than Karl Harrison, moan, moan, bloody well moan, give it a rest will you, Leigh slowed the game down, the ref was rubbish, and so on and so on, Emmits try wasn't a try , never mentioned the fact that Sheffield scored two tries while Leigh were down to twelve men , never mentioned the fact that the penalty count was something like 11 to 5 in favour of Sheffield, I as the question are Mark Aston and Angelic cynic one and the same Man.

Before the match we said that whatever the result, which we thought could go either way, the way we performed would probably define how we would get on for the rest of the season. So at the end we were disappointed, but felt the performance has set a platform for a real good go at a top four finish. Two tries from silly mistakes and one that shouldn't have been given shows how close we came, and the penalty count shows we are starting to sort out our discipline - though with the lack of consistency from that referee perhaps that's saying too much.

That said it's clear why Leigh are riding high at the moment, and we could learn from how they do it. Their half backs boss the game very well - they know how to frustrate the opposition and hold on to a lead, and there is quality throughout the team, pity some of it comes from Sam Barlow!

Let's have some fun against Hull (pity I can't be there), then keep improving against Halifax and Bradford.

And whose fault was that ?



Just curious, like.

Imagine what he would have said had Leigh used Mr Cobb again....... £250 fine at least.

I don't have much of a problem with Aston's comments to be honest, can understand his frustration. That said, the Emmitt try was one where he needed his touch judges to help him because he was unsighted. And with the slowing the play at drop outs (assume he's referring to the second half ones, as Platt's was a genuine injury which ultimately cost us a try), sadly, it's one of those things that ideally no team should do, but every team does do. Especially when it's the 6th or 7th drop out!

There'll be a few decisions that Rowley could point to as well. Including one suspect forward pass leading to a try. Ultimately though, it wasn't a refereeing decision that made the difference, it was a stupid last tackle play at 22-18 that opened the door for Leigh.

Nor was he helped by the over-exuberant celebration of the Leigh players pretending that the try had been legitimately scored,or the actions of the Leigh players as Michael Knowles began to start to explain,in vain,what had occurred.

Well I suppose thats why it's in your opinion.Would have thought having 12 full timers and the rest part time will in itself become a problem along the way..If you have a dozen full time, why didn't the club go all out?

I'm not saying its wrong and your club knows best. But for me I predict a little turmoil in that changing room at some point.

Yawn

He'd have only needed the help of the touch judge on the West Stand side to be honest..

You better believe its a cultural thing and i thank god every day that im not from the wrong side.

You two would make a fanrtastic government add campaign evidencing why family members should never marry!

We're committed to not over-spending.

Why do you see it as a problem ?

..... who said "no try".

Then there was Tommy Goulden's try - one touch judge said "no try", the other said "no idea". Hardly working as a team, were they ?

To be fair, you've got a supporter who reckons no less than 21 of the squad are good enough to play $uperleague.

So no transfer frenzy needed - should you be promoted.
