So would you like the following footnote adding to the record books

*The result would have been completely different if x,y,and z had played. Alternatively I would add *Leigh would have rattled up 100 points had they been allowed to sign the Australian National side.

Your coach picked the team, if it bothers you so much speak to him.

I thought that you would have won very easily to be honest given the strength of the team that we put out - no superstars at Dewsbury, just honest Joes, so we have a fairly shallow squad. either a couple of your better known players didn't fancy it or they thought that it would be easy as well. Given that, realistically, your only chance of a SL franchise bid is to win this comp i would have expected a more fired up performance.

A few are blaming the ref but that's just lazy and uncritical: he didn't drop too many balls or let the ball bounce from the kick. The team on paper looked better than the performance - you will be very pleased with your dual-contract players during the season though; some of their performances looked very promising.

You'll only have one, and you know it.

At least Barrow and Widnes won't be trying too hard this year - just Halifax, Sheffield, Fev ............................

Good luck; I think you'll need it.

Leahy was a complete joke last night. Can I just ask what the rule is when awarding a penalty when not being square at the play the ball? Is the penalty from were the play the ball was on were the defensive line was? Twice last night Leahy marked it at the defensive line.

The penalty is on the 10 yard line where the player should have been (as he was not a "marker" due to the failure to align).

Hope this makes sense!

We will struggle on any pitch that isnt full size, more so when in winter. We need a fast game and a ref who applies the rules evenly.
Dewsbury will be hard to beat on the tiny cabbage patch they play on, even when clueless last time up they didnt get hammered at home very often.

Spot on Mo, when the land gets firmer we will get better

It is a full size pitch or don't you have a complete grasp of English?

I presume that the ref applying the rules evenly means giving everything to Leigh. Considering that you won you lot don't half whinge - and you wonder why most fans in the Championship don't like you.

How big were the pitches that you got thumped on last year

Different Team, Different Attitude, Different Coach, Different circumstances.

Last season was last season.

Hope you can cut it with the bigger boys in Championship1 and that rather than going the season undefeated that you dont go the wole season without a win

U9's at East play on bigger pitches, what is it 80/90m long and some of the worst fans I have ever encountered, give me Batley any day. Far better people.

Yes Batley the most friendly club in British Rugby League always love our visits to Batley and the games are always brilliant n close
