Widnes haven't been tested at all yet.
I fancy us to beat them at Belle Vue and HKR may have other things on their mind.

Only SL teams to play each other are Salford and Wakefield so everyone else is still in question.

Hee Hee

I think they were for 76 minutes at the Shay.

Think we will do Widnes at home and the other two against fax and Sheffield. The cup could give us a win a kr. The knee to Smith's head was a red. Premeditated contact to the head is a red card in the rules. There could easily have been 2 other yellows as well.

Credit to Leigh for playing some decent stuff and despite our possession, they opened us up regularly.
Unfortunately for them, many of their beaks came from forward passes which were spotted by the officials.

A great effort to win the game and keep Leigh pointless in the 2nd half BUT, what planet was James Child on ??

The number of headshots by Leigh, none of which were punished was unbelievable.

I've never gone in for the conspiracy thing but, he was determined not to give us a damn thing in the 2nd half and credit again has to go to the players for plugging away and finally securing victory.

Job done KR next and they should be beatable, coming off the back of a Wembley trip.

I think 'Fax may not get there but will have a big say in who does.

We did enough to beat a very ordinary side whose main tactics were rough house ones then fling it about aimlessly. It is all they have and now we have a coach who can see that coming we knew how to handle it. But we will have to be a whole lot better in the upcoming games and i still think that we will finish 4th and be in that play off. We will though win it fairly easily.

like wakefield haven't been very ordinary all season, up to buying a new squad for eights, in fact still very poor and will have to save the cash for the next eights so that they can cheat their way through them again. Well done for contributing about 500 fans today super wakey.

Back from the swiller to moan about losing to the SL relegation certainties!
As has been pointed out only 4 players that were in the squad were not at Wakey when you beat us at home earlier in the season.
Jog on son and welcome to the real world of competitive rugby week in week out.

I take it you’re not too impressed with yesterday’s result!

Very ordinary all season, give me a break we haven’t even been ordinary.

Yes, we weren’t that good today, but we still got the result

.

As for the cheating comment – I think it’s time for sleepy byes

.

No comments on the new team then, or the favours from Childs yeah you did get result somehow cos your attacking ideas are very limited, o see you next year propping the rest up again but this time with no home to call your own either.WELL DONE SUPER WAKEY ON BEATING A CHAMPIONSHIP SIDE BY A POINT

Yep thats right. We beat a championship side.

If you had any faith in your team you'd be concentrating in them winning their next 4 which they are quite capable of.

Wow, your dummies just gone flying past my window in Wakefield, Best dummy spit EVER!

Hmm..

Could have and should have been more comprehensive, your team are a disgrace to the game dirty tactics all there to be seen, earlier in the season we would have and did lower ourselves to your standard, yesterdays game we took you in our stride and you were made to look you are a dirty average side that is used to bullying its way through.

As for Child take your red blinkers off he was shocking. As for the new team as you call it can you name the players you mean then and can you refer me to the rules of the game that prevents teams from signing players.

If I were you I would start clutching my worry beads now because al the Championship teams are gunning for you and it wouldnt surprise me to see you finish in 6,7 or 8th place.

We totally dominated you territorially the score is irrelevant other than winning we beat you easy your only tactics other than slowing the ruck, having a go with the dirty stuff is to throw the ball around some of your short passing was appalling to day, before looking for external excuses perhaps you should reflect on the performance or lack of from your team and why that was? Then consider why got no points in the second half, your tactics were garbage. Hope you enjoy reading the match report and cogitate over the highlights.

Bye

Steve, you really think we got favours from Child?


I thought he was rather harsh to us myself.

Hope you are feeling better this morning.

The new team as you put it beat ya, the old team probably would have lost that game. Brian Smith recognised that and changed things, that's what a coach does. Your coach on the other hand tried to bring in new players without any joy, he then goes on the defensive

Brian Smith, in the Leigh Reporter on-line:-

“There was some crazy stuff out there and we contributed to some of it,” he said. “We were all pretty disappointed with how things went in the first half but I thought under pressure and with one guy in the sin bin we did well to see it out.

Yes, we got done for indiscipline, and what Haggerty did was 100% wrong - however, I would suggest that Trinity were no angels either. Still, well done for toughing it out in a tight situation. If you beat 'Fax (not easy at all) and Sheffield, you will be safe.

As for us, who knows, we may still nick 5th and maybe play you again?

it makes me laugh every time I read a comment about a new team. Can anyone help me out and please show me this rule that we have broken. Every player we signed/loaned was done before the deadline.

Childs today was shocking but then again that's nothing new but I don't like to moan about the ref's so I won't go down that road.

Our attacking may have been very limited but your dirty games have been cracked now and super league clubs haven't been falling for them like we did in the challenge cup, and before that game one of your fans that I was stood next to even said before the game that he would bet me money that Leigh got a back sent off and we would get a forward sent off. He said that's what you had done all season so you had the advantage of an extra forward. Though on the way out I was told wakefield are just a team full of thugs...

As for not having a ground next season that will be our own, we actually haven't had our own for a good few years now as we have rented it off the bank of Ireland

Anyway as you say we beat you

Apologies if I'm wrong but since when did Leigh own the LSV?

Funny lot these Leigh fans on our board.
Couldn't get rid of them when they beat us in the Cup because they were the 'best team in the universe'! No mention of salary caps or 'not a level playing field'.
Now all of a sudden they are having to back their one off performances week in week out, their Primary School bully tactics have been found out now they have moved up a class.
All of a sudden they are a Championship side, with an inferior salary cap!
Funny,funny people!

I don't know the figures but I can't imagine there would've been much difference between the two squad combined salaries yesterday.

And since when have you moved up in class? Your in this league also and struggling..Possibly KR will be down in the dumps after Wembley and throw you another life line who knows!

Suck it up my friend, you been beaten by the 3 SL clubs, I would say that although we are not the 'creme de la creme' of SL, we still had enough 'class' to keep your 'scoring machine' team scoreless in the second half!

I'm not sure why we are actually justifying ourselves to 'some' Leigh supporters.
We won. Let's look to Hull KR now
