Leigh Rugby is for life not just for Christmas.:Black Backgrounds/Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.gif |

| Well the main problem was we have been cr@p in the middle part of the season, without experienced or quality coaching and not enough strength in depth especially at halfback.
We can't even blame the bonus point if it hadn't been introduced we definitely would have been 2nd from bottom.
Yes results of other clubs have been iffy, we simply needed to win games such as gateshed and Hallifix and we didn't.
Never mind hopefully we will be better next season role on a proper coach and some more good players. Lets take the div by storm and win the rail cup, a good run in the challange cup and trash some of those teams that are laughing now. We will be back  |

Similar story....
Look at Super League 2006.....
Wakefield 28 10 0 18 -126 20
Castleford 28 9 1 18 -393 19
Catalans 28 8 0 20 -293 16
We were relegated at the expense of the french. It's not right, but take it on the chin and you bounce back!

I think although maybe wrong all clubs agreed it on the basis folk thinking it wont be us syndrome.
Hopefully Cougars will get promoted but it sticks in my throat the fact you have been screwed.
If we do not get promoted then I look forward to seeing you at your ground at at ours.
Its a sad day for yourselves but clubs have to wake up to the fact the rfl have no interest in fairness.
I wish you well.'" thanks girl power nice to have your support |

Again don't have a clue what you rave on about sometimes.....one minute you accuse me of having different guises on here, and the next you consistently post things like this in reply to my posts.....all because I put differing opinion across.
I say what I want and believe is right, and as long as I don't offend anybody thats all what matters. Afterall its a message board where it is natural to have differing opinions, and makes the board more interesting than the discussion or sometimes rants going the one way.

As another Cougars fan I can only sympathize with what has happened to Leigh today.
Many years ago we won what is now called the Championship and were denied a place in Super League because the RFL wanted London there.
Being relegated not on merit but because of where you come from is plain wrong and in my opinion borderline racist.
If it's any consellation I hope Cougars go on to win the playoffs and get promoted because I feel Leigh next season will dominate Championship 1 next season even more tham Dewsbury have this.

Exact same thing happened with Widnes when we finished above Catalans. The whole system is a joke and i feel sorry for your club and fans and hope you bounce back next year.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Which posts show me as anti Leyther ? I challenge you to find a post. When you find you can't then you can be big enough to hold your hand up, and accept I may have differing opinion of how the great game should go but it doesn't make me any less of a Leigh fan.

I'll just add a bit of sensibility about the Yorkshire teams. Most of the lads playing outside of SL subsidise their weekly wage by playing RL and win bonus's.
The thought of a team saying 'lets throw this £XYZ win bonus in the bin so ABC can stay in the league' is a bit silly. They spend all year knocking lumps out of each other for not a lot of money, so why on earth would they throw away a good few hundred quids win bonus?

[quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3]
[quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people.
As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

About sums it up for me!!
IMHO one game defined our season - the loss to Featherstone, at home, in front of the SKY cameras where we not only tossed a lead, but proceeded to toss the bonus point that ultimately would have made all this discussion unnecessary!!
Ah, well - onwards and upwards!!

So you'd honestly prefer that Catalans got relegated and went bust rather than them going on to develop a thriving team that can attract 18,000 to a game in Barcelona? I think its more telling that a club who have been around for over a century can't pull in a decent crowd. |
