The majority of the Leigh fans were absolutely buzzing last night and good on them as they realised that their SL dream had come true

Although the minority of Leigh fans that I saw around the cricket field prior to the game were a right bunch of arrogant and over confident ale'd up chav's. who looked like they were primed for some fisty cuffs,Lets hope that they don't tarnish the clubs reputation in SL next season

Watching Leigh last night reminded me of watching local amateur Sunday morning pub rugby in years gone by as Leigh were very grubby and ill disciplined

If they don't sort this out then they will be in for a hard time in SL next season

Their derby games against Wigan next season could be a free for all 80 minute brawl

And you only managed to score 37.

Correct we won't win anything next season and nor will you
Nor will some other sides for that matter irrespective of how much that club spends on recruitment

I await the day that any SL side during the salary capped era can actually win 3 GF's in a row or do the ultimate treble of winning all 3 trophies again

And then end up in the middle 8s the following season.

Although it was bad last night I don't ink their discipline has been as bad under Neil Jukes. Still a team with plenty of Paul Rowley signings who seem to be the worst culprits. Even though they worked together Jukes is a different personality (seems a very sound nice guy) compared to the arrogant style of Rowley. The signings a coach makes often show a side of him (McDermott with workhorse guys, Wane with passionate Wigan guys). With Jukes only taking over just before the season started then he's got to build his own team and yet to be seen if those worst offenders with stay with a different type of player/attitude being developed over time.

calm down lads, it was only a dead rubber, both teams achieved thier goal of getting out the middle 8s..

Chuckles at the irony of your statement. Correct me if I'm wrong but did you finish in the bottom four? If so then not the game to judge anybody using your criteria.

Bottom four of what?

Great post that Printer, that puts it into perspective.

Credit where due, thought Leeds did really well last night given first 13 picked themselves and short turnaround from Sunday.
In the last game and half think Golding has looked sharper on attack than in past, as others have pointed out plenty of work to do with his defence.
Bit of food for thought, the 12 in front of him played almost whole game until sutcliffe's injury got better of him and despite him starting injured, those 12 were perhaps most athletic and strong in defence a group as has played all year.
Moon and Sutcliffe in halves means you don't need to play hide the half.
Appreciate other limitations and not suggesting is the answer. However, I think moon is a better player than many halves mentioned on these threads that we may want to get.
Hull play Carlos, no.3 at stand off, he strikes me as very similar to Moon, although I reckon moon is a better RL player. At end of next year McGuire will retire, I think moon will be one of our halves by 2018 if not playing there next season with McGuire.
If we can't get a quality half in for next year and as others have said it won't be easy, I could see us going with Sutcliffe at FB, Jimmy k at 4 , moon and McGuire in halves, burrow reserve hooker, lilley reserve half.

Time will tell. Most of the range of Aussie halves In SL are either injury prone or nutty as a fruitcake or both.
A player with top class kicking range would be ideal but not from the limping, Binge drinking club.

Will uncle gary release the moths from the wallet of doom?

Fallon, would you like to comment on our performances in our 3 victories over Salford, Hull KR & Huddersfield. ?
If I was to judge Leeds Rhinos after their 58-12 thrashing at Widnes earlier this season, I would have said that you were 'Championship One standard'. But what do I know ?
