And that's why we are where we deserve to be , the strength of a club is not measured in the bank balance of it's owner , the loyalty , pay packet or quality of it's playing or coaching staff , it measured in the number and loyalty of it's fans

We are a weak club after tonight , yes people spend their money , but if you consider watching your local towns premier sports club to be the equivalent of going to the pictures , you haven't a clue

Keyboard coach , put your application in

We lost in a semi final to the better team.
We won the NRC.
We played the best RL I've seen for years in the process.

Its good enough for me when you consider 2 seasons ago I saw us lose away to Gateshead Thunder - a defeat that more or less confirmed our 'relegation' to Championship 1.

You should get a cape and wear your undies outside your tights you could be known as "Superfan". Get off your horse Steve.

we havn't got to the final have we that's the point.

What was most disgraceful was the attendance. Pathetic turn out for a semi final eliminator, the town doesn't deserve a decent side if thats the best they can do.

Agree about the booing btw, absolute waste of time and uncalled for.

We have lost and been utter rubbish for the last two games. I wouldn't have minded if sheffield played really well tonight but they didn't and with the team we have we should be going to Warrington. Yes we are weak because there is no money in the club. Rumours of players already talking to other clubs before the play offs is over. Some players already left and the coach can't even be d to clap the fans. Now im sorry but if you want to clap some players for being disloyal ( and i understand that we have had a great season and not all players are disloyal) then you do that. But the performance was disgraceful and if i was a leigh player i wouldn't have expected any different from the leigh public.

Financially it won't get any better than the coach we had in the stands and the squad he had at his disposal this season.

In reality far more can and has been achieved with far less finance sad but true.

So what were you doing there then ? , as let's face it , in your opinion it doesn't matter ?

Yes we are a weaker club after tonight because that performance on top of all the recent bad press has probably lost us possible ST purchases. An average season with a GF appearance would have probably been a hell of a lot better for us. The only thing that will get the people of Leigh to come and watch this side is consistant good form. This year (i really hope) is the start of it.

People pay their money and take their choice as far as I'm concerned. Not a fan of booing the team and don't see what it achieves but each to their own on that score - I'd simply say it's a case of people showing their disappointment in different ways. I stayed behind to applaud Sheffield for a terrific performance and in appreciation of what Leigh have achieved this season, but would completely understand anyone who just wanted to get as far away as possible from that stadium after the game tonight - I was exactly the same after the Batley NRC semi last season.


Spot on. We've seen a lot worse than tonight and we will in the future, but if we did any other way then it simply wouldn't be Leigh.

I don't think anyone was booing the boys. People near me were booing and venting there anger at that dick in the middle with the blue shirt on.

Totally disagree about potential ST purchases next season, tonights game would `ve had little bearing on that as opposed to the uncertainty of which clubs will actually participate in the relevant Championships.

Read the full post Bart. I didn't say just tonight.

Yes it's called sport , the best team doesn't always win , the best paid team doesn't always win , the best coached team doesn't always win , that's why people pay to watch it , otherwise you might as well stay at home and watch videos of your team winning games from the past

No way will I hear anybody say that those players didn't give their all in any game they play , what they gave might not have been good enough on the night , but no way can their effort be questioned , it isn't just effort that wins games , if anybody doesn't understand that , then they don't understand sport in general and RL in particular , no matter how long they say they've been turning up
