Budge I don't do it either,in the past maybe a bit of banter but not to disrespect other clubs because you never know when it could happen to Leigh,I'm as pi##ed off as the rest of us Leigh fans , but I won't stop believing until it is impossible to qualify.Today RangI Chase and Dobson gave our players a lesson on finishing and line kicking,for me Riddy has had a very good season up to now but today he was fairly quiet.
I'm sure today's result hurt the boys ,and they come out on Saturday determined to put things right .

Hits the nail on the head, and in a one off game who knows what can happen.
Is the million-pound game played at a neutral venue?

| I think that the RFL have to look at the disparity between SL & Championship funding for next season & also address the 'cut off point' for recruiting/signing new players or half a team.
If this doesn't happen then the odds on anything changing in SL are slim to nowt, *which is maybe what the RFL want* who knows.
If say a SL team are allowed a £250k Marquee Signing then a Championship Club should be allowed the same, or very near to it, say £175 - £200k.
The Cap needs to come closer together, so that if a SL Club can spend £1.5m on Cap, a Championship Club *who have the means to* can spend say £1m on the Cap.
If it doesn't happen then I think the whole 8's thing might fail & then you might as well go back to Licensing.
If however Leigh beat Wakey or Bradford in the £Million Game then I will proclaim it "a magnificent triumph for Rugby League" & *go into hiding for a couple of weeks*

It was fair comment. We were very very bad. Nobody would disagree. Trouble was that Wakey were very very good at the same time. Doubt they could be that good again.

| We are quite capable of beating Wakey and then Sheff at home. Suddenly it's game on again. I know it isn't the best of starts but I didn't expect to win the first 2 games. The realistic battle for the Champ sides is that 5th spot and anything can happen in the million pound game. It's not over yet not by a long chalk. HKR & Salford too big and strong and too experienced for us. Fax are going to be the dark horses for that 5th spot.
COME ON LEIGH!!!!!!!!

I don't like to ridicule opposing fans and teams as you never know how your team will perform.

No we didn't play that well today and our defense was poor and 50/50 calls went against us but no complaints as we need to try and put it right next week.
No doubt if you got the same amount of funding and salary cap that we do,you would most likely to be in the same boat thicko.'" cokey. Out of order calling him a thicko, why cant people discuss the game with s little humilaty and interlect/respect without having to revert to personal abuse.

Still here and I see no change..
Some of you lot make me laugh we've lost 2 games.. One home very disappointing and one away totally expected.
Have any of you bothered to check Salfords home form?
They have one of the best players in the country.
Judge us after the next 4 games you doom and gloomers !!
See you all at Wembley within 158 weeks!!

| Quote: Dizzy leyther "I speak from the heart when I say I think we are fighting a losing battle. How can we compete against the SUper Leage sides we and other championship sides were at a massive disadvantage before the first game .I feel sorry for the players our Derek and the board of directors Paul and all the dedicated coaching staff and of course the fantastic fans.
We have been fantastic and made progress on and off the field over the past two seasons but achieved nothing .
I hope the RFL realise what is going on and how glaringly unfair it is for championship clubs. Wakefield as we all know have invested to keep them in SL but I would put a bet on they will be in the same situation again this time next season .
I am a loyal Leyther I love my club and will support them whatever . And I do still think we can make that 5th spot .
But I hate to see the heart and soul being ripped out of this team. It is only my opinion but I do think this is what is happening .'"
Quote: Dizzy leyther "but achieved nothing'"
We set off this season with the target being set as top 4 in Championship.We won it. Our average gates have more than doubled.Our fan base hit 10,000 on twitter.We took on 3 SL clubs in the CC but had too beat an x SL club first. We are a full time team now.We have enticed the likes of Fui and brought Higham home.
We have achieved all of the above by the way we play.SKY/BBC didn't put the cameras there for nothing..And don't listen to SL fans who think they are worthy of SL,they wouldn't be here if they were at that status.
As a club we have always had everything thrown at us,even the opening fixtures of this middle 8's..But there's 5 to go and we will have the last laugh.

| There's still a lot to play for. We are only 2 points in front of you. This time next week we could both be on 2 points. Also Leigh's first 3 games are all against SL opposition.
It's not how you start and all that.
