Hello all,

It appears that despite the obvious talent within the squad at Leigh Centurions, they often struggle to keep their discipline under control.

Looking at the RFL website, they are approaching thirty separate occasions of ill-discipline, with no doubt lots more due after yet another mass brawl at the LSV vs Halifax. Their MD (or similar role, can't remember) has also been fined for foul language and intimidating opposition fans.

Do we think that the current system of individual disciplinary cases against players is working? What will it take to stop Leigh from tarnishing our beautiful game's reputation? A fine? Points deduction? It is definitely getting out of hand.

did your team lose to them by any chance ?

You think it's acceptable then?

No mate, I just began a discussion between fans on a rugby league forum by presenting an argument backed up with evidence and inviting debate. Apologies if such actions were too mature for you to understand.

Suspect DBs Twitter account has been hacked. Never used foul language or text speak in previous exchanges.

As for original topic, how many of these incidents on rfl site that has been referred to resulted in an actual charge?

I'm not defending Leigh, but it takes two to brawl and no one appears bothered to comment on 'Fax.

The words "brawl" and "Leigh" appear with alarming regularity in weekly match reports. When they struggle, they revert to niggling and match disruption. They've got it down to a fine art. But it's working. Teams can't handle it and fair play to them - they're top of the league still.

When we were struggling yesterday, we made a change in the halves and took control of the game. We were actually in the lead when it kicked off yesterday. Both teams were idiotic yesterday and it wasn't one bringing the others down to their level

The twitter exchanges are strange. I can't believe that people in the public eye get drawn into arguments on there. If its been hacked then thats something his media manager should have been all over, so i doubt thats happened.

On the brawling, i suspect Leigh's current (nearly 2 yrs now) form is really winding up opposition players, not started by leigh themselves

Sorry Rich, but you're talking cack. We had 2 players sent off at different times while we were in possession. That's reacting to dirty or niggling play, not starting it.

I'm not condoning Leigh's retaliation yesterday but the holier than thou attitude of some Fax fans is so ridiculous it's funny!

Apologies, my comment was meant to be tongue in cheek, I haven't seen what happened obviously and presumed the OP was a fax fan hence my comment.

My point is to read previous match reports - Sheffield, Featherstone, Batley, Bradford etc..etc...

It's every week. Common denominator is Leigh.

I'm not saying they shouldn't play dirty - Widnes got it off to a tee in the eighties and it served them well.
