yes,the LER is as good as it gets - the general level is probably mid-Championship standard ie Leigh

bit better than that I would have to say - Lezignan could hold their own in the Championship with the rest with the exception of St Gaudens giving it a good go IMO
Lezignan did well to beat the Hornets last season and lost to a decent Vikings team in the next round - Leigh were pretty lucky to have beaten Limoux (volcanic clouds etc) who really were hard done by in terms of decisions by a ref that just happen to hail from ,you guessed it,Leigh ! Many of the decisions were blatantly biased and i'm speaking as someone who went to the game to support Leigh.
The LER will never match the Championship but they are catching up slowly,bearing in mind most of the clubs only came into existence fairly recently compared with the uk northern clubs.

Rochdale are poor and I think even Widnes fans will admit that that was a particularly bad side last year. Leigh wern't pretty lucky to have beaten Limoux, we played on the friday and then had to get the coach down to Limoux on the monday and still won.
To be fair, I have looked at the Challenge Cup results 2010 now.....
Keighley 26-35 Toulouse
Rochdale 22-32 Lezignan
Skolars 16-42 Limoux
Saints 56-16 Toulouse
Limoux 20-32 Leigh
Widnes 44-24 Lezignan
Supports you're point more than mine sanjunien.

with great respect,i'm not a Leyther but went to Limoux,a five hour drive to give them some support - i'm glad they won but Limoux WERE hard done by - the ref WAS clearly biased - it's a good job the local fans didn't know the ref was a Leigh man otherwise he really wouldn't have escaped some kind of revenge - very conveniently he did the old trick of giving Limoux half a dozen penalties in the last ten minutes to even up the penalty count on paper but it WAS blatant c******g
I've seen the same ref at TO and he has been great so it's not a personal thing |

Why does everyone complain about how awful match officials are, when they won't do it themselves?
How does anyone KNOW they are bad if they have no reference point to start with?
Who defines the reference standard?
No one on these forums that's for sure.
