Apart from live on radio at the Bradford match.

The RFL are at least 2 thousand quid better off now though so it's not all bad.

They might be a bit richer soon too

That has nothing to do with his writing style on Twitter, which is what I was referring to.

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.

nobody mentioning the unprovoked headbutt by Armstrong that saw him sent off?

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.

Leigh will you please lose a game. We usually refer to bandwagon fans, here it is bandwagon fans with a hint of jealousy

I get the impression that opposition owners/chairs,head coaches,and opposition players seem to have come to the same opinion as some fans.

I don't think jealousy is the correct word.

A successful side,consistently winning should be admired.

It is increasingly the case that Leigh Centurions are NOT admired.

And here's an example of why Leigh are making so few friends amongst other clubs - any criticism is immediately rejected as jealousy. There are plenty of us who have commented admiringly about some of the tremendous open rugby Leigh have played over the last couple of years, and you'd struggle to find many Championship followers who wouldn't say they've been head and shoulders the best team in the division over the last 18 months, but if anyone dares to comment on their disciplinary record or the on-field attitude of some of their players towards officials/opponents, it's immediately dismissed as "jealousy" from other teams' fans. Well, forget about the fans, have a read of the comments made by players from a wide range of Championship rivals last night and this morning as the Twitter spat unfolded. The taunting, the patting of heads after an opponent's mistake etc and the boorish behaviour of the director of rugby etc has left its mark.

Yeah right, just like Man 'Fergie' United FC were....don't talk so daft !

I know Super League & Bradford fans won't be jealous...but I know exactly where you're coming from Demon !

"Leigh had a strategy to win the game," he added.

"They felt they couldn’t deal with his open and honest game where he just runs as hard as he can and keeps as fit as he can so he can go longer than anybody else.

"Leigh concede they can’t do that so what they do is wait until he is on the floor and cheap shot him and head butt and try to get him to retaliate and get sent off.

"While ever those thugs aren’t being made accountable, you will always give those thugs the motivation to do it."

I can assure you, the man who said that was in no way jealous of Leigh.
