Yes we were ' pants ' too many dropped balls , too much running hard but just in the wrong direction

Better team won on the day

It happens , I'll be there next week , and the rest till the season is over

And that's the way as fans we have to be, owners, success and defeat will come and go, but the fans are the lifeblood of the club

I've no idea whatsoever is going to be happening over the next few months - but so long as there's a club they'll be getting my ST money

Well I was also there today but what an utterely abject performance that was.

We had our first choice SL and NRL 6 and 7 who could not break down a patched up team with 1 sub. Thackeray was allowed to run the show.

A lot has been said and blamed for the predicament we are in, Beaumont, Cunningham, Jukes, Bad Luck etc etc but put a decent half back partnership in to this year's squad and we would have one foot back in SL now. No question about that for me.

If you run with the competitions 7th or 8th best half backs, who can no longer rely on and act of individual brilliance from Peter M'atautia or Craig Hall to dig them out , you end up 7th or 8th. That said, I will be taking up My usual position on Sunday, and will be at Rochdale and Dewsbury all being well.


It is what is.

Next game coming up at home and all to pay, season tickets don't count, the players have certainly whetted everyones appetite to get behind them, do they deserve support?

The next home game is Swinton, isn't it Harry? I think it's the Batley game we all have to pay for?

Re: 14 man Fev. : Sun Sep 02, 2018 8:45 pm  

Yes Swinton is next week. Included with your Season Ticket.

The Batley game will be telling, but that said there was a very large travelling contingent from Leigh supporters today. Surprisingly so, I have to say.

Each and everyone of those spectators deserve better than this. Very Sad.

Re: 14 man Fev. : Sun Sep 02, 2018 8:48 pm  

We were well beaten by a team who were even more 'patched up' than we were. Featherstone played better than we did, and deserved to win. Teams have bad days, especially those in our situation - and Fev's. The way players from both sides are getting injured and put on report, the final could be seven-a-side!

By the way - and I know it didn't influence the result - but what on earth was the ref up to today? There were 31 bewildered and frustrated players out there. He started off by letting Fev players fall asleep on ours, in the tackle. We cottoned on and did the same. The ten yards were down to about three (for both sides) and the result was a pretty boring game!

Yes we do, Harold. But are we entitled to expect it from this particular group? Granted, we should have the beating of fourteen tired players, but sometimes adversity spurs on a team - look at Toulouse, at ours, early in the season!

They got paid last week. You wouldn't have thought so though would you?

Alan ,Leigh were shambolic today, Fev spurred on by adversity and lack of numbers were a bit above average,not a good game all in all, the Ref did his best to help us in the latter stages of the game, I was glad when the final hooter went.


I will be there for the rest of the games left, no doubt, hopefully the lads will show some pride in the shirt , the outlook is bleak at the moment, but the lads must show some pride to the fans.
