| Quote: Snowy "Being part of Leigh first academy in 1991, i must say not having one isnt great. There is an abundance of fantastic young players from Leigh, and everyone talks about Rowley, Baldwin and Martin but there were better players in the squad who didnt get a sniff.
I am sure Derek can afford the coach fares to games as us kids had a whale of a time training with the first team squad twice a week.
Staying in SL is massive, and it can restrict the pull of Leigh born players going elsewhere. Leighs loss has been Wires, Wigan and Staines gain for too long now !!
The kids are the future and RL seems to have lost its way a little bit.'"
Correct snowy been there got the tshirt it's very important to invest

Possibly SL survival is priority.When was the last time you wore the T shirt in this situation?

Craig,with respect Sheens said this was your biggest test. He said knowing Craven and Hanbury were out.Had they been in you would have got nailed.Another one you owe Leigh.

That does not automatically follow. Different players, different match, possibly but not necessarily a different outcome. Carney would have steamrollered your team or then may be he wouldn't have. If being an if and but man makes you feel better be my guest although I tend to look at actual results
We owe Leigh nothing anymore than we owe Wires We have played five won five, could not have done better than that. We could I suppose have won our matches by scoring more points but under Tim Sheens we have learnt many things including how to win close matches. Last year we would not have won them all.

| Having played the middle eights from both sides now it is clear that the comp favours the top champ team who has momentum and has had a less physical season as opposed to SL teams who have had tough seasons and lack consistency. Looking at the fixtures Leigh coukd still stay up if Cats and Widnes slip up or could be relegated if London win all, so still all to play for. It's not over til the fat lady sings and she ain't even on stage yet!

Another point of view often put forward is that championship sides are at a disadvantage because they are not used to playing at such high intensity on a regular basis.
Your argument did not apply to the cup match. Having beaten you twice this season on your own turf and now beating Widnes the simple answer might just be that we are a better team.

Strikes me you didn't need to win 5 out of 5, because of us!

The argument does apply to the CC as you were playing easier games prior! Also CC was not a priority for us this year. As for the Widnes argument, we beat Hull and Wigan does that mean we could have won the CC, think not! What you can say is you have played better than us in the 8s this year as we did last year. Promotion is a great feeling enjoy and good luck for 2018.

Bless, did you enjoy your visit on here ? Don't bother with Widnes's RLFANS forum, it's virtually defunct, as is Catalans. Which forum will you troll next ? Maybe Challenge Cup winners for the past 2 years, HULL FC !!!

You don't like my point of view then? If you see it as a troll then your reaction gives me great satisfaction. At the moment I am very happy, you are obviously hurting.

Cool it Keith.
I am really hoping Leigh stay up and Widnes go down for several reasons...
Widnes came bottom if SL
Betts is clueless
Leigh seem to have more travelling and loyal fans
It makes a mockery of the entire system if you go straight back down
This time last year I stated that you'd have a good season but still struggle. Charlie (as usual) stated he knew something to the contrary.
In all respects, you did have a good first season and were competitive in many games. Widnes are just plain poop.
FWIW Widnes could still get auto relegated leaving you in the MPG against London.
Good luck and hope to be playing you again next year.
