Nowhere near mate, indeed by time players bonuses and other costs are taken out not really a big financial reward for winning the play offs but don't get me wrong we won't refuse it 
The target and focus was always to do what I now personally believe we've done and win the division to put ourselves in the best possible position with the highest level of funding available next season to subsequently move forward with our long term planing. With that in mind clearly this year our "Business End" has been the week to week rounds, however the winning culture and mentality within the club means Paul his staff and and our boys will indeed want to put the Cherry on the cake I'm sure of that and they go into what would normally be the business end under absolutely no pressure and that surely makes us a very dangerous proposition.
We will as always stick to the club philosophy when it comes to playing matters and under promise and over achieve.
Looking forward to the final two home games particularly the Worky game which will be a fantastic occasion for the whole town of Leigh and we will have all four sides if the stadium open and want to fill it so look out for the fantastic offers!!!

Paul Rowleys post match comments indicated that four of his pivots had not trained all week with injuries and indeed Brierley played with a pain killing injection according to Derek Beaumont in his post match comments.
Biggest thing to remember is there is no business end of this particular season the big business was to do what we've done and win the league and the associated 500k of funding which that brings for next season to enable our plans to move forward and a full time squad to be assembled.
Normally the play offs mean something this year top two was and is the main goal so it would be a bonus to win the play off series IMO now.
You would imagine two more wins secures our seasons goals and maybe a few can be rested for the remaining fixtures and get a few of the niggles sorted a d some energy back into the squad after what has been a tremendous season so far.
To have played 20 games and won 19 is outstanding and to have maintained winning results throughout bar Doncaster away despite some ups and downs in form at times is a fine achievement something very good teams like Fev, Fax and Donny have been unable to do match so I for one refuse to subscribe to any form of criticism of the team and coaching staff what so ever.
Keep up the great work lads best Leigh side since 82 by far, 13 points clear as I type and running away with the strongest and most competitive second tier comp ever!'"
Agree entirely. Hopefully with our key players back fit and in training now we should be much improved for Rochdale next week. |

Lets get top 2 for the business side of Leigh Centurions as that will bring in revenue streams and allow us to carry on building upwards (so fully understand the business decision in that and fully back it) however lets ensure we carry on and get the chance to be called Championship Champions by winning the GF as that is the Sports side of the club and the one of more importance to many (including those who don't yet know that Leigh are going to be the team they follow).
Would be a travesty if this bunch of talented players and coaching team will only be remembered in history as the team that won the club a big cheque!
Lets get the Trophy, Medals, and high profile that winning the GF brings as that WOULD ensure people in the town sit up and realise the revolution going on at the LSV is actually happening and our team gets the recognition there hard work fully deserves.

The only bit I disagree on is this last bit,
Our own coach played in the best side since 81/2 , the team that won the place in super league Paul ,Tulrley a nd Tommy God what a team !!!!!! |

Well I don't remember either of those players' although I know PR was in the side when we won promotion.
We have a far better team this season than the 2004 side imo. |

Others keep talking about us receiving the League Leaders shield as soon as we have managed to win it which we must be considered favourites for which looks like it ould be when we play Fev. I think the Worky game is the ideal game for it.Last league game of the season at home, combined with all the plans for the past players and heritage celebrations.This would really make it special occasion and help fulfil the dream of filling the stadium. It should be our party, for our past and present players and supporters and a real occasion. LeytherForever knows!

Can't disagree they were three great individuals in there time but in the case of Paul and Tommy were well past their SL best and on the way down and sadly Neil never got chance to prove himself at the highest level so we will never really truly know how good he was.
That team did what it should have and needed to do that year in a league with no real competition bar Whitehaven who were always second best to us in terms of finance unlike the two previous years when Huddersfield and then Salford all saw us off with full time squads and we fell short. It was on a plate and we took it!!!
This team has not only ran away with arguably the most crucial and competitive second tier comp ever but has a very young average age with players with SL futures in front of the them coached by a very young and highly rated coaching team working for a forward thinking board and it's clearly just the start of things to come for this group of guys.
As great an achievement it was in 2004 I doubt that side could have gone to Headlingley and performed the way this team did nor could you say the bulk of that side had big futures ahead of them like you can with the likes of Brierley, Kay, Spencer, Armstrong etc etc.
Opinions are what makes debate though and we all have them but the statistics state this is the best a Leigh team since 85 championship winning side so who am I to argue? |
