| Iggy, The Butcher won't compliment Hansen, as he wanted to leave Salford.

| For most Salford fans, last year's outstanding player was Scott Taylor and I wish we still had him on our books. Leythers should know why.
I really rated Hansen and was sad to see him go: he is a tower of strength in defence. There are also the Salford links. THe other player I would have back in a heartbeat is Cory Paterson.
Being hated by other rugby fans is nice. It means you are a threat. I have had enough of Wigan, Saints, Leeds (etc.) fans telling me their second team is Salford: there was a condescending air in the comments. Salford were allowed in the group/family/league as they politely knew their place. Things have changed: so Leythers enjoy.

Don't think I've seen Taylor have a bad game, and he was excellent at the weekend. Hansen has been excellent in the 3 games he's played for us, including the Wigan friendly. Hopefully Patterson will be back this weekend.
Salford looked a handful on Thursday, your pack will take some stopping this season

| The centre Pala has had enough
I'm hearing the half backs of to Hudds this week
Even the players have had enough, you can win the league with Hock and Chase though

That's not true, I like Harrison and I played with his Dad. He's a hard, no nonsense, second-rower but he's no world beater.
Teams need the grafters like Hanson, and would I have him back at Salford now? Tough one. We have a better player in Murdoch-Massila but are light in the forwards. I'd have him back with the right attitude and for peanuts. But that would be the only reasons.

No. Scott Taylor got the award, with Evalds getting Young Player.

| I would love to See Leigh in SL, especially at the expensive of London and Toulose, who between them, would struggle to fill the first 4 rows of an easyjet flight with their fans at away game

When a club has to rely on away fans to boost it's crowds then that team is knacked.
And if you know anything about modern RL.
Crowds / fans / attendances count for nothing in the world of SKY sports.

| All I know is that whenever I see a thread about Leigh, reading the comments is like stepping back in time to RLFans in 2002.

| I like watching Leigh, they throw it around and play with a bit of needle.
I like their fans, always got on with them and our shared opinion of Wigan goes down well.
Love their stadium
Liked Rowley when he was in charge.
But Beaumont is just an obnoxious, condescending, arrogant, fat sh*th**se

That's been Huddersfields business model ever since Sheffield saved them from relegation

| Are Leigh disliked or did a few of their fans start up this weird "everyone's against us" campaign on here and in other social media on the back of the Gareth Hock signing and a couple of handbag fights and cheap shots against Featherstone when they were questioned by a few people? On every fifth thread for a couple of weeks on this site you'd see a Leigh fan (seemingly about the same half dozen) popping up where they hadn't been seen before saying "why do you hate Leigh?"...then it carries on this season. Bizarre! They've made it all up themselves and are carrying it on.
I feel sorry for the normal Leigh fans a lot of whom seemed decent at Wire last season when they came in the CCup. Yes they got a bit giddy when they were in the lead against the worst Wire side for six years singing "are you watching Super League?!" and then got easily beaten, but they were behind their team really well all game and were no bother outside the ground before or after that day.
But...does anyone really hate Leigh at all? or is it just a fabrication to get the Super League fans talking about them more?

Shows how little you know.
Huddersfields business model has been to rely on Ken Davy.
Away fans stopped coming in any numbers about 5 years ago when we stopped being a guaranteed two points for them.
