Quote: ItchyandScratchy "Well, this is an interesting draw for Leigh. The reason being Jamie Peacock. If there is one man in RL who dislikes Leigh, and makes a poor job at covering it up, it is Jamie. A class player in his day, of that there is no doubt. Very successful and rightly so. As a person he is not so good when it comes to the subject of Leigh RL. This all goes back to the Challenge Cup game at Headingley 2-3 years ago when Leeds Rhinos were nearly on the end of a shock defeat in front of their faithful supporters at the hands of Leigh. Following on from the bust-up on the pitch with Matt Sarsfield he had nothing but negative things to say about Leigh. If I remember rightly he slagged us off by saying that we weren't going to win games by fighting. Forget the fact Jamie that it was 12-12 until the 73rd minute and Leigh having 'bombed' a couple of good opportunities at 12-12.
Nowadays, whenever he is asked to comment on Leigh (See the SL Show after the Wigan game a few weeks ago and his response to Tanya Arnold's question, "and what about Leigh?"icon_wink.gif he simply deflects the question and carries on talking about Wigan, something he had been doing for the previous minute of highlights.
The fact that we helped to send HKR into the Championship last year will all add to his dislike.
There is no doubt in my mind that he will relish this tie and want to win this game more than ever. Not just because it's the Challenge Cup or because he wants to see what level HKR are at currently. It will be because it's Leigh. I hope we are fired up for this tie because we will need to be.'"
Yup, he's defo not a Leigh fan. Also given that Leigh went vertical as he and Hull KR exceptionally bombed last year.
