Bracek rumours

Quote: Nat (Rugby_Aholic) "The simple fact is that all of this stems from how Leigh conduct themselves on and off the field. On the field you have by far the worse disciplinary record in the league. Off the field you have a director of rugby who thinks it perfectly acceptable to physically threaten and intimidate fans both on social media and in person. When confronted with these FACTS you immediately blame everyone but your own club, label it jelousy and claim that everyone is out to get you.

Some fans made a contribution to whatever the fund was called the last time you had financial difficulties (myself included), now you have found some money and success the club is not acting with respect for this league and its fans (I was even abused by your DoR). You are all happy to jump on Bracek's back for stupid immature twitter posts but how many of you do the same for your precious financier week after week?

Regarding the drugs rumours, I doubt there is as much truth to it as is being made out, but the reason people are so eager to believe it is because of the reasons I mentioned above. I personally want the rumours to be true, because I would love to see Derek Beaumont ridiculed, I do not have the sentiment towards any other person invovled in rugby league, and that is a reflection on how your club is percieved at this point in time.'"

On the field we play some of the most exciting attacking rugby of any team (when we're allowed) and a club record breaking winning run has just unfortunately come to an end. Off the field we're one of the few clubs to be debt free playing at a world class stadium signing names like Moimoi, Hock & Higham.
It's quite difficult to respect other clubs who come to play a slow, dirty game then when Leigh give as good as they get try to act all innocent and like it's Leigh who are the dirty thugs. Funny isn't it how games only get dirty when Leigh are in front & so have nothing to gain from it, never happen against teams that want to just play rugby like Wakefield, Salford & London (London's captain actually went on twitter after their game at the LSV and complimented Leigh's style of play), never happens when the ref has control of the game by penalising the opposition for niggling and slowing it all down right from the start like at Haven. When confronted with these FACTS the outrage brigade never seem to have anything to say.
I doubt most Leythers are really fussed what people think of us, personally I've lost a lot of respect for The Championship. It used to be a great competition with great fans, it was the true rugby fans against the selfish greedy SL clubs. Remember cheering Fev on in their victory over Cas in the Challenge cup a few years ago. Now though the doors are open and there's actually a chance to progress and one club has shown how it can and should be done and the nonsensical hatred spouted about Leigh is laughable. Talk about SL to most Leythers and it's gotten to the stage we don't want promotion to play the best (well we do but the 1st thought is) we want it to play teams that want to play rugby, play on full sized pitches, have refs who keep control of the game and ensure a fast ruck speed (you know, all the stuff that'd seriously disadvantage a dirty niggley team like Leigh are supposed to be) and also to get into a league where fans have better things to do than to make up nonsensical rumours about our players & club.
