Quote: Cokey "And you are becoming more and more anti-Leigh with your pessimistic post.

Demon's OP hit's the nail on the head.

If you want arrogance and boasting, Go and have a troll on Fax & Bradfurts Forums.'"

Hokey you seem to be getting an inferiority complex which gets stronger by the day,Arrogance and Boasting from Leighers ,perish the thought, I will ask Reffy for an opinion he's unbiased.

Another Leigher messaging in code, I will consult Lintle to interpret it.

Quote: bentleberry "In all honesty, it's the attitude of 'we will be in super league', 'we deserve super league'. This attitude is evident at all levels from fan to director. It rubs people up the wrong way. A little bit of humility goes a long way. This attitude has meant that Leigh are the only underdog that nobody wants to back in a game.'"


Well Iv'e never heard or read anyone saying we deserve to be in super league. But I don't see anything wrong with anyone saying we will be in super league.That's why the saying goes WE BELEIGHVE!
If anyone thinks we won't get into super league (and i just don't mean this year) Put your hand up.

The success I refer to is last season upto but not including the Middle 8s.

Quote: reffy "The majority of opposition fans have no problem with the Club/team but some have a problem with the arrogance and boasting, mainly from fans but not exclusively, that accompanies success.'"


Cokey, what in that is 'anti Leigh' & 'pessimistic'?

I think some of the things said ring true. There were plenty of your fans midway through last season dishing it out (things such as WHEN we're in super league next year i.e 2016 we won't have to visit these terrible clubs etc) which is why I would assume most people took great delight in your Qualifiers burn out.

Signing the type of players people love to hate like Hock will have contributed as well.

I personally have nothing against you leythers, we always have belting games (even if we've fallen narrowly short in the league meetings over the last few seasons) and every leigh fan I've met in person have been knowledgeable about the game and easy to warm to. Take it on the chin and keep a stiff upper lip icon_thumb.gif (easier said than done I would say)

Quote: reffy "Cokey, what in that is 'anti Leigh' & 'pessimistic'?'"


Most of your comments seem to be of a negative nature towards the team/club/fans etc. you just seem to look for more of the bad bits than the good ones.

Just for the record, I think B Thaler is the best ref in the business, however, some of his decisions were inconsistent during the game on Sunday, i.e forward passes and high tackles. But I'm sure you'll disagree.

If opposition fans have a problem with, as you say a minority,being arrogant and so called boasting........So what. Let them think what they like. My take is Leythers are just expressing their passion for the club.

Collectively, It's a combination of showing passion for the club,a bit of banter,tongue in cheek,winding folk up and so on. I just think some folk are perceiving our views for our club wrongly.

And now Iv'e managed to write all this...................................I need a drink. icon_biggrin.gif icon_cheers.gif icon_biggrin.gifRUNK:

Quote: DemonUK "We are gonna need extra thick skins this season
Yes, of course it is. Us cas fans are just so jealous of your ability to win a competition where most players are part-time and then collapse when playing a sequence of games against decent teams.
We would much rather have had this than a Wembley appearance and a finish of 4th and 5th in super league.
I imagine the Yorkshire based Leeds rhinos fans feel the same way after winning everything last year.
The reason Leigh are disliked is that the club seems to think it is better than it actually is.

Quote: salfordlad "It's a Yorkshire trait. They just hate our exciting brand of RL their teams are incapable of.

They always back a Yorky side against a Lancashire side cos it's in their blood.

They also don't like us outnumbering them ie their fans at our away games despite the fact this actually helps their clubs.

They are also jealous of how good humoured and friendly we are and the fact we are all better looking And despite that we never mention it.
Personally, I can identify readily with those sentiments Frank. Surely, even our good riends from the 'fax message board can't argue about your stated attributes? icon_wink.gif

Well the key here is you guys and Bradfurt for that matter are dwelling too much on last season and what happened in the middle 8s. If you want to get excited about that, then that's your problem.

I can honestly say you have took too many post too seriously or you've perceived them wrong.

Maybe you need to have a word with Mr Jagger, He's never serious. icon_smile.gif

Sorry, this wasn't really aimed at clubs who lived in the SL Ivory Towers. Until the slim chance of P&R returned none of you gave a stuff about the championship. Hope Cas aren't looking nervously over their shoulder this season as I like the way Powell has you playing. I also wish we had Dorn and Gale.
