| Never give up, it is in the blood.
Regardless of where Leigh RLFC play their rugby and whilst I still have air in my lungs i will be there.
This club has been with me every step of my life.
Lets get the job we started this year done !

| Quote barham red="barham red"Looking in from the outside thats how I read it. He praised our (HKR) club and fans but I saw it as almost a gauntlet throw to your fans to do something similar.
I thought the tone was a bit defeatist when you're not dead and buried yet, he sounded resigned to the drop and is looking for a groundswell of support if that happens.
Would your fans sign back up in numbers, I honestly thought we'd drop a couple of 1000 but was surprised at the resolve of a lot to fork out for the full price pass and equal if not better our previous season pass sales. I could guarantee had we not gone up this year then baring a miracle we would have lost that 2k for next'"
Yes, but your clubs fall from grace is a complete different scenario. You had a decade to become stable,we got 12 months.
Big difference..

I don't doubt there is but we were in a very similar place to what Widnes seem to be in. Apathy seemed to have set in, we'd had a steady decline over 3 years (only lifted by wembley, and that ended up a disaster)
Fans were already grumbling and dissatisfied with the on field product. Lots of injured players and no quality back up. Their forum is a carbon copy of ours from 2016.
In some ways our decade of 'stability' worked against us and made us complacent. I actually think out of all the clubs likely to be in the MPG, Leigh have the best chance to bounce back if the worst happens.

Its getting tougher by the hour for us, we are losing bodies and, confidence! We are still awaiting the luck that apparently 'goes around' ! The last ten minutes against yourselves was filled with official 'clangers' to our cost and, at Warrington last week we suffered another late official error!
Hopefully, we get all the official errors in our favour in the remaining games

Spectators only acknowledge the perceived wrong calls against their club. After every match fans could swap instances when their team received a bad call. Blaming the ref is pointless and fruitless.

The more experienced spectator will see wrong calls for both teams. Do you fall into that category?

The biggest "kick in the teeth" so far is the side HKR have picked for tomorrow. I don't blame them: they've won their matches and are entitled to do it but it rather devalues the whole Qualifier system when something like this can happen at such a vital stage. The RFL need to look at devising a system where this sort can't happen.
Of course we shouldn't have got to the stage where we have to rely on others but "C'est la vie" as they say in Perpignan.

| HKR winning 5 from 5 comes with an added perk of they can now do what they hell they like.
If Sheens wants to take a closer look at some of his young or fringe players to aid his planning for SL then so be it.
If we would have won 5 from 5 we could have done likewise , and we did last year.
Look at the Batley side, game 6 with the likes of young Foster in the hooking role and the final game at Leeds with some departees only selected for a final farewell in a Leigh shirt.
Out of interest, out much did an adult HKR season ticket cost this season?

He's picked a squad to beat Cats. I dont see a problem.. Better play from Fev last week would have seen them with the win,and that was with 5 players missing.

Think it was £228. Was an option to take a 25% discount and pay £175 but most paid full price.
