Yes Salford got £1.8 million and Leigh got £0.5 million. The clubs lower down the Championship only got £150k max and you have the cheek to complain about having to play Championship teams all season and being unable to condition your players!!! Incredible.

Yep 44 points against SL opposition means you can score quite easily, the object of the exercise though is to score more than your opponents, unfortunately you've shipped in almost twice as many (82 points) as you have scored, the one comfort you can take from that though is that if you don't redress the balance, you will probably out sing the visiting teams in the championship next season with the support you enjoy.

Quite so, but then again win or lose people can pack their bags as there is then a week break for the Cup Final.

Thats quite funny coming from you..

I stated before the game started that a Leigh loss would not be the end of the World , well it's not our game next week most certainly will define what happens for our SL ambitions,to be honest ,RangI Chase ripped us apart today we allowed him to much space,not much went right for us and in parts we looked decent,however in my opinion a couple of our players are just not SL standard but that's life,at times our defence looked very brittle,I just hope the points difference doesn't come back to haunt us.
Next week is the acid test a MUST win game,maybe tinker with the line up, I thought Higham and Barlow looked good, I wish Ryan B would attack the line more often,but this game is gone now ,we move on to Saturday,hopefully with a positive attitude, Cmon you Leythers,the support today was great.

Well playing in the Qualifiers will help us immensely.......

We've come a long way........ we're not far off, we just need to improve our tactics and we'll be right!

Why, did Wakefield not win many Super League games this season ?

I think that's spot on......

Because they had a bad side and a bad coach, 10 signings and a proven coach and they're a different team.

Too much rubbish on this about change of game plan. Nothing wrong with our game plan, just our ability to execute it. Had we done that today it would have been closer. We had 4 tries disallowed due to poor execution. The only one I can 100% say was the right call was the forward pass, the other three where at the other end. Better execution and we score those tries. Haggerty then missed a very unexpected chance. On another day we score it. That's 5 tries, taking out any conversions that's 20 points. With a possibility of another 10 from the kicks. I do however think the difference today was rangi chase. He destroyed us, don't think had we done everything right in attack we would have won.

But that is my point! The championship is full of clubs getting bog all money and it's keeping standards way down. If top championship clubs had to play well for at least 50 minutes to win against most opponents in their league then those top clubs would stand a chance of raising their game and claiming a place in SL.

As it is, the top sides need only play for 20 or 30 minutes to beat their opponents.

Well iv'e not been happy with our defence for some time,and it showed again today. Never mind, next week is another chance to put it right.

Well I think we are better than the scoreline suggested.

Sometimes you get the bounce of the ball. Today we didn't.

Rangi Chase had a top game but we missed too many tackles.

We all know as do our players. We can still bounce back and we will.

That's 3 more than you budgy luv
what was the score at Salford btw

Well I wasn't expecting to win either of the first two games, and I don't think any leigh supporter with any knowledge of the game would either

Today saw Salford field it's first choice 17 for the first time since April, and at that point they were 4th in SL. That said I can't help but be disappointed by the margin of defeat. Not so much that I wasn't expecting it (I predicted a 30 point margin) but the sheer lack of intensity from some players in defence was shameful.

Clearly some players know they won't be dropped, and quite what our young guns need to do to get a game remains beyond me. Acton and Spencer would have added some much needed desire in the pack, Sarsfield is one of the most gifted ball handling back rowers I've seen for a long time and Pownall when selected this year has been our best winger bar none.

I won't bag the players who aren't in great form, they probably know it, but at some point soon a change is needed. A starting front row with a combined age of over 100 might work for leeds but sadly not for us....
