Cheapskate. If he'd paid for his ticket, he could have chosen any number of positions to watch the game from.

Nah. He's barred from the ground.

Just seen this in T&A:




Who was suggesting anyone had lost belief in the players? Apart from halfback issues we have a fine squad of players and they have by and large done us proud. Nobody has lost belief in the players, Jimmy. You need to ask yourself why good players played like that.

He also used the cliche "bad day at the office". Banal truth but he needs to ask WHY they had a bad day.

Does anyone disagree that the main reason is because they were all pretty much absolutely knackered? That's how it looked to me.

How very very Childish to bar Derek from the match .very grown up I don't think ,especially as Rob Parker and Robbie Hunter Paul are past employees of Leigh and took some good money out of the club, pathetic is the word I'm searching for ,well done to the flat cappers for making you look stupid

I said O'Brien looked knackered walking onto the pitch, I was only half joking. Jimmy must have a reason for not rotating the squad more but from everything he's shown it's doubtful he's going to let on to the press.
Given the disruption in the half backs due to injury my guess would be he's trying to keep consistency in other positions to avoid changing everything, but if so it's not working any longer with too many players looking jaded.

Nice try. Uncle Derek's on-going conduct is a stain on the monumental strides you have made as a club. Not making free tickets available (because that's all we are talking about) is hardly equivalent.

, anyone with form for this is rightly banned.

PS, I've no doubt Rob and Robbie earned their corn.

And of course, security staff are always sharing information about known troublemakers with other clubs in the division. I'm sure Leigh's security staff were just being good citizens when they informed us that Uncle Derek was trying to get in...

It wouldnt be too surprising if the players were low on energy when playing Sunday - Wednesday. It was the extent of the apparent fatigue that was surprising, particularly when compared to part time opponents who had the same turnaround..

It looked to me thatwe suffered from a distinct lack of adrenaline, players going through the motions. They just werent up for it.

I dont particularly care what Lowes said to the media. Defeated coaches/managers in most sports tend to talk nonsense in the immediate aftermath of a bad defeat. And I expect the attack will improve when we get players back. But the shocking tackling and lack of intensity in the collisions was quite alarming.

Must have had the same media coaching as Brian McD.

It's unfair to criticise The Bulls players for lack of desire yesterday. With them being full time they had opportunity to dwell on three games in eight days. The lucky Featherstone players had no time to stress as they had work to go to.

Haha some very funny comments on here about foul mouth Beaumont

Totally agree with the Bulls stance on this. If he wants to go watch a neutral game he should pay like everyone else

By the way the guy is a total buffoon

Piemen well beaten by the wire tonight. Makes our performance look even better. By the way did Lee Briers come on as sub in the 2nd half last Saturday? Going off the Bradford website they are having a major wobble, and I think we can afford to lose one more game and still finish top due to our superior points diff. The most difficult game might be Fev. as we all know what comes with them don't we?

Can't help but think its a cunning Lowes masterplan!

Err, you're not on the Leigh board here mate. Is this posted in the wrong place?

Yes, same heading! Anyway what's wrong with friendly banter- we had our wobble last month.

Yeah a loose forward and as half backs..Masterplan indeed.. Just wondering who the actual buffoon is..

Well today's squad announcement should be interesting, or not, depending on how stubborn Jimmy really is.

Lol, don't know if you mean the team or RA&B which is having the wobble.

The team hasn't really 'hit their straps', [as they say all season, except the odd game and patches here and there. Usually just done enough to win, but have generally been far too profligate with the ball and sloppy in defence. The major hope is that bigger challenges in the eights will bring out the best in them but my suspicion is that the deeper pockets of SL will ultimately prevail. Think we have much in common, for what it's worth.

Now, if you think the message board is having a wobble, well I have to tell you, that is it's normal position - I've been on here for double yonks and [istill[/i haven't got used to it! Putting some underpants on my head, a straw down each nostril and going La La La seems to help....

I believe you are supposed to say 'wibble'.

Ahh, of course - that's maybe why I'm not getting full benefit...

That said, la la la blocks out the contradictory voices much better. I think maybe 'wibble' is for when I present at the doctor hoping to get signed off?

Don't know where you get your info from as A. Derek was not searching for a freebie he was more than happy to pay and stand on the terraces with other fans. B. He did not turn up and get sent away by your security staff. he stayed home. C. You need to look closer to home for foul mouthed buffoons, did your team not also get reprimanded for bringing game into disrepute and inciting Mr Beaumont. Fact

You are fantasising. Fact. Absolutely nowhere has anyone other than derek claimed his moronic behaviour was because he was 'incited'. If you can find a quote from the rfl that backs up your claim post it.

I thought there was a statement posted on the Leigh clubs official Facebook page? Much like anything I doubt anyone has actually read it for themselves are just piling in on the bants.

Well put Pp. I always find it strange that the guilty ones are the "council for the defence" in their stance over an incident.
I know for a fact that the said Mr B started the incitement of our Players who were sat in the stand ie they weren't chosen to play but were either on the injury list or part of the non chosen squad.
Our reprimand as we all know was due to ill chosen comments in the tunnel about the performance of the official.
Mr B was fined £2000 we were warned about comments that were predjudicial to the game, or some such jargonise.
The case rests, more in our favour than theirs.
Their points difference is not only on the field of play, but leads the SL and Championship? I refer to sin binnings etc., at, I believe is now somewhere in the region of 34...doesn't make for the angelic badly done to syndrome, does it???
