It isn't rubbish, it is having an opinion. When a question like this one is asked, the fact that it is on a Leigh forum doesn't mean we have to give the home answer. I bet you put 13 Leigh players in the Championship team of the year.

| The Bulls have been poor for the majority of the season. Bulls fans have stated this, so finishing above them IF it happens wouldn' t be too much of an achievement. Sorry!!!

Yes JK done well but id be amazed if anyone could get near what Neil has achieved. Rohan Smith thought it would be a piece of cake to get Bull in the middle 8's he has found it very difficult...'"
Give over a weeks prep you are talking like he came in as an outsider hed had all pre season with them regardless of his position

As for having a large squad, there have been weeks when he has been down to the last seventeen available - especially when so many 'players' have been AWOL, for whatever reasons!'"
Ha I just joined in to send a fishing rod out there! To be fair he has done very well and would be on the shortlist especially with everything surrounding that happened early doors. To be fair hes got rid of a couple of bad eggs and seems to be getting that a bit of the togetherness that Leigh had a couple of years ago before Derek starting throwing his money about at big names. I personally think you had a better TEAM under rowley before signing the the likes of Hock, Chase etc, not necessarily better players but better as a team. I dont think your side now would get as close to an in form and table topping Leeds than you did in the cup 2 years ago

Possibly not, but there again, Leeds aren't exactly 'table topping' these days, eh?

I am all for opinion and in this instance I consider some of the comments made as rubbish - that is my opinion.
ie that anyone could have coached the Leigh team to the title this year!!
You assume that I would put 13 Leigh players in team of the year - to assume makes and ass of U and me. I regularly contribute to this and other forums and give a reasoned and balanced view - which means on occasions I have been critical of events at Leigh.
Your opinion on this occasion is both condescending and wrong.

Opinions are never wrong, they are different.

I do. Comparisons with last season are interesting. Our pack is much stronger, but we haven't got the same pace in the backs. Oh to have this season's forwards, and last season's pace!

| All the other coaches hated Rowley's cocky attitude which is why they never voted for him but I really do think they'd vote for Jukesy because despite all the adversity at the beginning of the season, he quietly took over and went about his business. I think they'd respect him for that.

Don't know if Higson has picked up an injury or just getting a week off, but we could be going into the play offs with last season's 1-6 available for selection, with Drinkwater for Brierley at 7. While that means less pace, Rowley kept talking about poor kicking game and game management after middle 8 games last year, so maybe a trade off that works for us?

I agree. Drinkwater & Reynolds are, in my opinion, much more 'rounded' half backs. Hopefully, Gregg will be able to bring some much needed pace back into the side.
