Quote: salfordlad "Fev were the best team in the first half by a country mile.
Second half Leigh showed had they done that first half we can beat anyone home or away.
Fev will be more worried than us though because even though Leigh took more than when we beat them in the NRC( our support was about 25% better).
Over 3800 v Sheffield and 2000 today.
There was far more there for the Sheffield game than today, the stands and terracing were significantly busier. Playoff crowds are traditionally smaller than league attendances, look at the attendance figures in Super league and the Championship for playoffs over the years. Some people obviously don't like the system or don't want to pay extra on top of their season ticket. Its the complete opposite in football.
But they still beat us. I don't think I am being harsh its just how I see it.
I think people need to take of their Rowley tinted glasses and accept that a NRC win doesn't make PR a fantastic coach, I really do think this league is PRs level, I have been saying this for a long time.
I want the best for Leigh and I will always support them, and will get to as many games as possible but my enthusiasm isn't like it used to be.
I hope I am wrong but I think Batley will stuff us.
Like I said 1 win in 5 games is unacceptable, that is there for everybody to see, for me there is only one person responsible for this.

In only his second full league season as a head coach he has guided us to 4th place on a very limited budget and won the Northern Rail Cup he has done well.
Like I said earlier the players are taking the responsibility (though PR has also taken it) for any defeat, and having watched Featherstone on a number of occasions since the start of the season (on DVD) their playing style has altered since Long took over the reigns (for one their outside backs are playing better more expansive rugby)and they have brought more quality players into their camp.
We have lost to Dewsbury, Batley, Sheffield as well as Featherstone in as many weeks
It worries me somewhat if the coach can not get his players to implement his game plan and that is a crucial criteria that falls under every single coach's remit.
However Paul is a young British coach and He will be our Head coach in 2014 regardless of what happens on Sunday.
I Dont care whos fault it was, lets correct it and move on and win on Sunday, thats something a Leigh coach hasnt managed since my favourite coach and Pauls (DA)did in 2004.
I must say, nothing I saw Sunday, tells me FEV aren't beatable though.
