I hope that score line is not true - its only 9 mins per half! If they had been playing for the full 80 minutes we would have conceded over 200 points!

I know our defence is bad but...

It is not hard in 7/9's to run up scores like that once one team is chasing scores they tend to lose possesion very easily

i suggest you lay off the sprouts my fellow leigh fan

He went well i thought, rochdale won two games today, after a heavy nite out round blackpool, think they should go out b4 every game

.

Our defence against sheffield was shocking, think ridyard thought he was playing tick and pass. how a team can concede 50 points in 18 mins is unreal, was embarressing watchin, the highest score of tourny conceded by at least 18 points

....and who do we play next week



Score prediction 200-72



edit: to Sheffield if you were unsure

Conceding 50 points in 18 minutes is some effort, must be said

who won nines comp?

Blackpool beat Sheffield in the final.

Thankyou mate.Some widnes reserve players in blackpool team.Anyway i think it not worth taking serious i would not as be worried of injuries.

The Leigh players and coaches seemed to enjoy it on Saturday night.



Maybe a few of the players weren't 100% on Sunday morning?

Apparently we were the last team back to the hotel on saturday , where according to our coach " It looked like the OK corrall " when they walked in

I take it you drive around the rest of the NW with your eyes firmly shut



Enjoyable weekend of RL

.
Needs a touch up on when its played (perhaps bring the Nines/NRC final forward to June).

Although the Fylde day went reasonably well it added hardly anyone to the stadium to watch the 9s finals due to logistics of geting from one venue to another. Both 9s finals were played in front of a couple of hundred fans at best wouldn`t surprise me if some 9s fans missed the finals as we left Fylde before the matches finished traveled quickly by car and only just got there before the 9s plate final started.
I think if they run this comp next year they need to learn a few lessons .Especially the takeing care that there are better facilities for the players and not bother trying to force people into a 2 day event.
I enjoyed the weekend as the weather was nice. I asked Nigel Woods "how come the 9s dinner due to be held Sat night was cancelled with 4 days notice" He replied he did not know it had been but would make enquiries.

I used to work there , I just dont like it , tacky , smelly , grubby place

Glad you had a good time

DISCO Dave Armitstead ,turned up after the first match ,and was on the pitch for the next 2 ,i wont sya he played because ,he hasnt PLAYED for months now.,for me its TAXI FOR ARMISTEAD.

He only played the one game to be fair charlie.

He might have been sitting or standing on the side for the last one on saturday but he didnt enter the field of play for the York game, he was only involved for the Gateshead game.

Hope this is a windup or dud info passed on.
Doesn't do our club any favours whatsoever if true.

Surely our coach wouldn't allow the players out late before any kind of game

In fairness, Leigh weren't the only team out on the lash on Saturday by all accounts.

We played in the last match on saturday and when they arrived at the Hotel it resembled the OK corral

Then they all went out on the lash





[size=59I do not know this last bit to be true , [/size

To be fair as well Jenky - the Leigh lads and York team, were the last to play and when the final whistle went on Saturday the Woodlands was virtually deserted.

Surely you can't begrudge them a bit of time when some teams had finished a good 2 hours before.

Its a competiton that (whether we like it or not) was there to be played in and won.
We are currently going down the league and off the field we couldn't sell a Meat & Pater pie to a Wiganer whose been in a vegetarian food only jail for 6 years, hardly time for a celebration (why not do it out of sight if the club wants to do a team bonding booze up

).
I was lucky I got in for nowt and its local to me, some people from Leigh will have travelled up and paid.

If the players want (and in fairness its a big IF as we don't know they did) to go out and get hammered perhaps they could follow Blackpool Panthers and Widnes's lead and gone out AFTER they had won something.

had already booked into the hotel , some 2 hour earlier as Dave posted

Upon walking into the hotel a senior member of the coaching staff commented that it looked like the OK Corral , this is before any of our lot had checked in

So I am not refering to our players

Got it



As for what happened after , that is anybodies guess

Don't stop me now, i'm on my soapbox



(For Wiganers accidently getting the care officer to read this to them, don't worry its a saying not lots of soap in a box)

Having seen a few of the locals around Leigh town centre it appears that soap is a rare commodity

Ban the muncher





(true though)
