Weather wasn't as nice today in Leigh, been drizzling most of the day.

Nobody cared the first time. You're a trier though.

Tell the truth man...Its the colour of the rose that hurts you the most...

just doing my best to keep this thread going, even when our players aren't beating opponents up !!!!

After today this thread should read

Discipline at Sheffield , they were a disgrace today

Or, discipline at Hull. Dirty ankle breaking barstewards.

Yet another team bullying poor little Leigh. I really feel for them; every week teams decide to go completely against their own character and become dirty horrible barstewards without Leigh doing anything at all. If only all other rugby clubs were as calm and colected on the rugby field as Leigh are.

As well as off the field where Derek Beaumont drags Paul Rowley away from taking umbrage with an official while medical staff deal with an injured Leigh player.

They obviously weren't happy with a red card for a one on one dangerous tackle where the Sheffield player was red carded.

A punched Sheffield player was yellow carded.

Another late tackle by a Sheffield player who had played 12 v 13 for over an hour without any other incident is put on report.

All dealt with by the referee and the Leigh fans have the gall to question the actions of another side after what they have been doing,and continue to do.

As trademarked by griff - UnbeLEIGHvable!



3rd yellow card in 2 games for Hock being wonderfully man-managed by Rowley.

Aston sent off after 3 mins for his lovely effort on McNally (who'd already dropped the ball). 5 secs into this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trE3EeA8U0M That wasn't even the one that put him in the Hospital, that one can be seen at about 5:10. Sheffield 'supposedly' aren't a dirty side but they came out for a fight yesterday from minute one and carried on throughout. That is an attitude we've seen regularly this season and yet it is laughed off with "why do teams only do that when they play Leigh, must be Leighs fault!"

That's a nicely constructed straw-man argument. Well done.

I've only read half of this thread, but there is one question I've not seen either raised or answered.

If Leigh are such thugs, why do the fights generally only start once they've taken the lead? Surely you'd expect that earlier in the game?

Thoughts please?

Being a bad winner can wind some teams up. Leigh may not start throwing punches but being a poor winner could get teams backs up.

Being a poor winner, another clutching at straws argument.

Hey i'm just trying to think of a reason why all of the discipline issues are not Leigh's fault. Maybe everyone else is right and Leigh are just a bunch of dirty barstewards.

'Course not.I got there and thought it was dress down day with Beaumont with his untucked shirt,jeans and the muffin look.

As I have just stated on the Sheffield Eagles forum - in as many words - it was a fundamental error to send out the youngest,lightest,player witth the most exemplary discipline record,and half back to injure McNally - and fail! Then wait until so late in the game,with the game lost,to have another player with an almost clean disciplinary record,and a centre,to try and fail to injure the opposition full back.I thought the second effort was exactly that - an effort to prevent the pass in an overlap situation at the end of an exhausting 12 v 13 game.

I should point out that when we played a superior side,from the Super League,in Hull FC,in the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup there was no drama and no cards and no injuries to any Hull FC players.

I also pointed out that in many circumstances the ball playing,match winning half back is taken out by opposition forwards.Ours was red carded and your half backs apparently not targeted by our smaller players.

When Hodgson,then playing for Warrington,got battered regularly their followers didn't invent stories about brutality.As he and McNally were both at Huddersfield prior to transferring, I wonder where the difference in attitude originated.

Sheffield started in the 3rd minute - they didn't even give us a chance to wind them up!

Angelic Cynic showing yet again what a complete tool he is.

He's already accused McNally of faking injury on the Sheffield forum, despite pictures clearly showing him being dumped on his head and being smashed very high and very late.

He has a go at Hock, despite pictures showing hock actually getting punched twice and not retaliating.

He has a go at Rowley for getting naffed off on the sideline, but makes no mention of Talupapa going to the Leigh dugout to try and start a fight with Paul Anderson

I can only assume that AC is related in some way to Mark Aston as they share many character traits, most notably being complete to$$ers

This argument reminds me of the little kid who sits there saying "I didn't eat the chocolate" with melted chocolate around his mouth and on his hands.

It may be worth waiting for the RFL disciplinary panel to do its work.

How does warming up on the sideline and being earbashed by Anderson equate with trying to start a fight?

Petty hypocrisy is reminiscent,to me,of New Labour and as your MP and the RFL ensured HMRC were paid,late,the last time the parallels are there to see.

They were 'All spin and no substance.'

If you read correctly I never stated McNally faked injury.

Please ignore me I am simply a complet tool and a complete to$$er.Divert your attention to Warrington.Ta.

Keeping on thread;and in character - There is no discipline problem at Leigh and this will be proved between now and the end of the season,and Sheffield Eagles will have all of the problems that hitherto they have not had.



PS. Hock punched twice and NOT retaliating? Some Class A in that borough!

AC, you are one complete and utter lovely Doncaster Eagles fan, who only types sensible stuff on RLFANS.COM......

AC spitting the dummy out??? What next!

Looks like the assassination/decapitation efforts by Sheffield Eagles came to nought as the alleged targeted victim Greg McNally is named in the squad for the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup game at Warrington to be played 6 days after these alleged unprovoked attacks.

The contest now is to ascertain which of the 2 clubs will have more cards issued between now and the end of the season.I think I know who will win.

It seems as Cory Aston was forced to miss out a game after sustaining a head injury at Hunslet that he has been more of a marked man than McNally was last Sunday.

My thanks to the hypocritical,biased chutzpah of the Leigh fans for making a brouhaha over very,very little.

I am sure the popularity of Leigh Centurions will continue to grow throughout Yorkshire and beyond.
