Have to say on last nights showing Leigh were poop and would get battered if they played like that every week. Have to assume they just choked for some reason (also not a good sign).

I was most disappointed with their style of play though. High shots all over, slowing the game down, shuffling back about 7 yards. Fair enough, the red let them get away with it but they won't get such a cowardly red every week.

Lots of work needed in the off season, and that's just to keep Smith and Hock away from the pie trays.

Would have liked to have seen Hallas Smith & Jjr get more minutes but overall we did what was needed to be done.
Watching on t.v it was amusing how down the sky commentry team were about Leigh never really being in the game

To be fair, we did what we needed to do against the other 3 SL teams. Last night was a dead rubber, and the players looked knackered.

I'm sure Neil Jukes and the team look forward to the challenge next season. I know us fans are excited about what lies ahead

And I am an advocate of promotion and relegation so while you will be one of the favourites for the bottom 4 I hope you don't finish bottom. On last nights performance though your attitude was more championship than SL and you need to fix that.

Our last nights performance is irrelevant,it's what we've achieved that matters,SL next year.
We will build the team, and try to sustain SL status,but owt can happen.

Your whole season's attitude was more championship than SL, that's why you were in the middle 8s. And if you don't buck your ideas up next season,you could find yourselves back there again.
FWIW - I don't think Leeds will be anywhere near favorites for any silverware next year, neither will Leigh.

The majority of the Leigh fans were absolutely buzzing last night and good on them as they realised that their SL dream had come true

Although the minority of Leigh fans that I saw around the cricket field prior to the game were a right bunch of arrogant and over confident ale'd up chav's. who looked like they were primed for some fisty cuffs,Lets hope that they don't tarnish the clubs reputation in SL next season

Watching Leigh last night reminded me of watching local amateur Sunday morning pub rugby in years gone by as Leigh were very grubby and ill disciplined

If they don't sort this out then they will be in for a hard time in SL next season

Their derby games against Wigan next season could be a free for all 80 minute brawl

And you only managed to score 37.

Correct we won't win anything next season and nor will you
Nor will some other sides for that matter irrespective of how much that club spends on recruitment

I await the day that any SL side during the salary capped era can actually win 3 GF's in a row or do the ultimate treble of winning all 3 trophies again

And then end up in the middle 8s the following season.

Although it was bad last night I don't ink their discipline has been as bad under Neil Jukes. Still a team with plenty of Paul Rowley signings who seem to be the worst culprits. Even though they worked together Jukes is a different personality (seems a very sound nice guy) compared to the arrogant style of Rowley. The signings a coach makes often show a side of him (McDermott with workhorse guys, Wane with passionate Wigan guys). With Jukes only taking over just before the season started then he's got to build his own team and yet to be seen if those worst offenders with stay with a different type of player/attitude being developed over time.
