Who let Sir Kev back into the house?

I’m tempted to respond to you, but last time I criticised/laughed at a Leigh supporter it lead to a ban. Who runs this forum, the Leigh Gestapo?

It could be worse. I mean what kind of club would lose to a team that got that kind of stuffing from Warrington.

I think that just shows:
- Leeds have been awful and with restricted capacity; and
- Wigan play mind numbing rugby that people don’t want to pay to watch; and
- Salford are a basket case club and any team that replaces them will drag averages up.

Not much else to see there and I imagine all of the above will be fixed by new coaches at Wigan and Leeds (and new South Stand at Leeds) and Salford’s seemingly inevitable march towards the championship or worse.

Not too much to panic about there.


Wigan's crowds have gone up which doesn't really make much sense in the context of your post.

Toronto Wolfpack have been breaking attendance records throughout their Championship and League 1 campaigns

True this .....
Toronto beat Leighs 10,600+ for a 'FREE HOME GAME' but spread it out over a full season !

Surely it can only be a player from Catalans. Probably the best RL side I have ever witnessed in this season's comp.

Someone hasn't realised that the table goes from 2018 back to 2016 and not the other way round!
