Are featured in the programme Thurs, its about the Barla National CUp Final [sizeWHICH EAST WON[/size, so buy a copy.

Why the large bold capitals?

I think we are all well aware which side deservedly won the final

Just rubbing it in like they would have done lol, besides it the first one my lad won anyway so I think I can shout it if I wish. He played in finals but they ve always lost before this one.

Well done, East. However, the important point, which I have tried to make in the programme, is that TWO TEAMS FROM LEIGH contested that final. If you must know, Wayne provided me with an excellent photo of East, but I'd refused to do the article, until I could strike a balance, with a photo of Miners. Thanfully, 'asterix' came to the rescue, and now we have a BALANCED report!!

I agree its needs sending to Richard Lewis Think I may buy an extra copies and send it to the RFL. Proof Leigh does have Youth Development.

Then stop being such a biased mare then.

The East biase naffs me off on here - and before anyone starts I'm nothing to do with Miners.

here here.

And you wonder why the kids get wound up when playing each other...its the parents that get the kids going.

Its the parents that put their 'hatred' feelings onto their kids and make playing against each other bigger / more important than any game they play.

I don't like Wigan, but I don't make my children think the same way, it's their choice.

I put all this hatred down to one thing....JEALOUSY

Its not jealousy. Its avarice. Wanting what someone else has. Its not a bad thing in team sport, its makes teams hungry for success. The parent thing is true to some extent but I think both clubs draw certain lines when rivalry get to much. Well bloody done to the both of them. I used to be a Miners player but would be very pleased for either to win anything.

It really proves how much talent their is in Leigh and how the professional club haven't tapped into it in the past.

We're paying for the mistakes of the past which to his credit NK has tried to put right..... although I feel that is partly down to his budget for better known players.

How much development is there from Leigh??? This is credit to Miners/East development - not Leigh's!!!

I think she mean't the town, not the club.

True. We can't piggy back on their success, and claim it as Centurions work just because we share same post code.

Any idea who keith?

What I was saying is in our town we have great youth development , hope we do get some of it at Leigh. Ryan O Toole from the Leigh east under 18s is already on the reserves team.

Sarsy Jnr played from the bench last week, but went off injured.
