I would say it's not negativity! It's feedback.And to endorse the feedback (if the opportunity becomes available) you would do it in front of the cameras.

Don't forget that this is all skewed by the defeatist negative attitude of Wakefield who gave up on getting out of the bottom four before the season was less than half way through. You can understand it with 3 or 4 games to go but with more than 10? Teams with ambitions like that have no place in the elite of our sport.

It's irrelevant what Wakefield have done. The club as a whole is spending too much energy talking about things out of our control. The only thing we should be talking about is what we do, not others. Negativity is dangerous, it's like a cancer that can quickly spread throughout the club. We need to knock it on the head quickly and start focusing on the positives before we implode.

We have a lot of successful business men involved with the club now. They wouldn't let this happen in their businesses, so please stop it happening at the club.

I agree with that, there are no positive vibes coming out of the club, it must have an effect on the players. They should be chomping at the bit to get at Wakefield not having to prepare listening to moans about level playing fields and registrations. I hope, come three o'clock, that they are totally focussed.

To be fair, for a large part of the early to mid season we were absolutely crippled with injuries and for a team spending much less than anyone else it hit us very hard. We found ourselves cast adrift at the bottom. Our turning point was probably the CC game where in desperation to kickstart our season we rushed back two or three big players who had been out quite a while....it backfired but allowed us to then assess where we were at and change accordingly.

The first and most important move was bagging Brian Smith. If bringing in a coach like that is seen as negative and defeatist then fair play....

The timing was perfect as it gave him enough time to look at the whole picture and make the changes he needed....we are a completely different proposition to the CC game...the one on an 11 match losing run in the league and rock bottom confidence wise, players not 100% fit etc....

We are fresh, fit and back with a spring in our step playing with confidence....should be a cracking game as Leigh will be wanting to prove a point and get back to winning ways....I fancy us, but wouldn't be the greatest shock if we came away beaten...

Should be a great game, rules are there to be stretched and Wakey etc did nothing wrong - indeed in the same boat I would hope we would do the same, sentiment and morals get you nowhere in sport.

We will miss Hock and Wakey have stepped it up but if we score early you never know

Have a safe journey over

Hear hear

Which rules have been stretched and in what way?

As well you know Wakefield have done nothing illegally or morally wrong, just simply played the rules, your coach in conversation with rughead on boots an all stated as much, but implied it was not done in the spirit of the game. I for one don't accept it but here's a couple of examples of not playing in the spirit of the game, Wigan deliberately breached the salary cap in an effort to stay in SL when Noble signed Fielden, they were docked 4pts reduced to 2pts on appeal after Lindsay threatened the RFL with court action, and if we come a bit closer to home and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but has two of your players have been found guilty of taking performance enhancing drugs, both not exactly in the spirit of the game and extremely embarrassing for the clubs involved and their fans, and you have the nerve to say we have no place in the elite of our sport, what a tit you are

Not sure why the salary cap difference is being thrown around so much, it's not like we weren't aware of it all season, I can only guess it's because Leigh have lost the last 2 games. What I will say is that they have lost against good SL teams, regardless of where they finished this year.
The Wakey game is Leigh's chance to stand up and show what they are capable of and the last 2 games should have helped show Rowls where his weaknesses are.
Hopefully should be a good game.

Assistant referee McNally didn't care for it when someone patted him on the head did he? Does he ever try not to cheat and moan for 80 minutes?

Shocking personality yet a very good footballer. Rowley needs to assert.
