| I agree with Zod, Leigh's arrogance in 04 bit them on the butt two years later, they've found their natural level in the Championship IMO.  |

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.

Was it our arrogance that had your fans fighting with each other when we beat you at Spotland in 2004 ?

I was at that game, but don't remember any fighting (though I do remember the relentless taunting by your fans to us dejected Rovers fans as we sat on coaches). In any case how are fighting and arrogance linked?
In 06 I remember Widnes fans being fantastic (e.g. shaking hands with us after we beat them in the play-off semi-final), whereas I recall Leigh fans generally being very arrogant, another example was taunting and mocking after beating essentially our academy at your place.
It wasn't aimed as an unfounded dig, it was based on my experiences of NL1 clubs that year, a season where I only missed one game home or away in all comps, (and the away game I missed at 'Haven I'd been the previous year), it's just the way I saw it. |

I remember KR fans covering themselves in not a lot of glory in 2002 ,throwing beer at Stanley gene and invading the pitch to invite the fartown fans for a "dance", I presume that's what they were inviting us for

I remember the taunting of your fans after your win at NCP, is it only yours that are allowed to celebrate a win? As for our win at Hilton Park, you can only beat what is in front of you
Why we are having this discussion I have no idea  |

Its a hull thing innit - need new blood n all that. |

|
|
| Re the NCP game I can assure you I wasn't one of them - I stand on about the halfway line and don't go anywhere near the South Stand, so even if I had been taunting (which I wasn't) you would have had to have had some bloody good sight to spot it. 
Anyway congrats on the win. |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

Did you see Salford 60 Doncaster 0 in 2008 or Widnes 54 Whitehaven 6 the previous year ?
This year's was the best since 2005 (Cas-HKR) for me and Batley's 2010 win over Widnes was great too. |

Maybe you can look at specific team performances and realise how they performed on the day.
I have seen many high scoring games, where I have been in admiration of how a team plays.
I remember Leigh beating Featherstone 75 - 20 at POR in 2004? They were 47 - 0 up and I enjoyed every minute of the way they played that day.
Sorry Giant Daz, I apologise for the outburst  |

| Quote: General Zod. "I think the Leigh fans need to remember how they were brought down a peg or two by Hull KR in our promotion season back in 2006.
I tried telling them pre-season they didn't have the squad to compete with us but they wouldn't be told. Players in that squad included Cockayne, Steel, Murrell, Webster, Fisher, Aizue, Netherton, Joseph - all of whom had Super League careers beyond the 2007 survival season so it's quite obvious they were never going to be challengers come the business end.!'"
I must have missed Grix, Hill, Bibey, Heremaia and Moore all having Super League careers after that year... |

Leigh-Hull KR in 2006 and Leigh-Halifax in 2011 were both absolute belters, and I'm not even saying that with any bias! |
