Quote: blackpoolwigan "It was my understanding that a lot of the trouble surrounding Leigh was retaliations to opposition temper flares.
This is quite understandable, teams are going to lose the plot when they simply cant beat a team, ever which is the current case, and you cant really blame a team for retaliating to that sort of thing.
It would be interesting if Leigh do make it in to SL next year, and then compare the trouble they get in when they aren't winning every game for years at a time.'"
Featherstone were the previous dominant force in the Championship, finishing top of the table four years running prior to Leigh's good run starting last year and the team that every other team wanted to beat throughout that era, yet there was never any persistent suggestion either of Featherstone using thuggish tactics or their opponents resorting to such tactics on a consistent basis.
