My own perspective is that we caught Salford on a bit of an off-day. However, we had a bit of an off-day ourselves in some departments. The key for me is the will to win that we have. The other factors in being ready for SL are our off-field professionalism and our fanbase. Both these have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years. We are no longer little Leigh. Surely there cannot be any doubt that we are a bigger club than Salford and one or two others in SL.

The Middle 8s should hold no fear for us now. It doesn't give us an automatic right to go up, but we wont be shaking in our shoes. The pressure will be on those 4 SL sides. We will have the carrot and they will have the stick.

I prefer this message board to the Fax one because one or two posters have made that one pretty unreadable and the number of users has dropped because of it. Shame really because it used to be pretty good until then.

Quote: kiwileyther "Two players who quickly spring to mind who are off contract next year are Manu Vatavia from the NZ Warriors and Paul Gallen from the Sharks.Manu,s still a beast when anywhere near that try line,and he still has pace.Paul Gallen,well he has cult status with the Sharks and he can play 80mins if needed,and he,s fearsome.'"


They would probably get bigger clubs sniffing first kiwi.But you never know! icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "Im going to argue that you are still way off. It was a great win for Leigh and there is no taking that away but I said to my mate about 20 seconds before Leigh scored the crucial try in the second half that Salford were simply going through the motions and I couldnt see how Leigh were going to score. Given Salfords injury crisis during the game it was no real surprise to see Leigh in the mix come the end of the game but during the game I must say I was disappointed with a lot of your forwards and honestly expected more as they were dominated for long periods of the game by the Salford pack(I actually said the same when Leigh played Fax, that if anything would let Leigh down this season it would be their pack) but I thought your backs were superb and totally outclassed Salfords backs.

If that team had to travel to say Leeds or Wigan next week then you would put good money on them getting a good hiding and not been able to back up after the effort they put in yesterday. I still think 6 or 7 players would be needed at the very least just to even have a chance of avoiding the bottom 4 (thats if promotion is a given which I no longer think it is).'"


Interesting point, although we were without three of our first choice props - Wilkes, Moimoi, and Acton and, arguably, our most influential forward - Penkywicz. Three of our forwards did 80 minutes so, all in all, I don't think they did too badly.

Quote: ant7t2 "With all the talk, and with other club's fans commenting on how Leigh fans don't know what we're on about, I thought I'd post this.

Apologies if it's been done before.

So, how many of the current Leigh squad are good enough for SL?

Here are my views, for what it's worth...


1 - Greg McNally - Yes. Just!
2 - Adam Higson - Yes. But not fast enough as a winger for me, so... centre? Not sure.
3 - Greg Worthington - Not quite. Jury is still out though.
4 - Tom Armstrong - Yes.
5 - Liam Kay - Yes.
6 - Martyn Ridyard - Yes. Just!
7 - Ryan Brierley - Yes.
8 - Fuifui Moimoi - Yes.
9 - Bob Beswick - Yes. Just!
10 - Oliver Wilkes - Yes.
11 - Matthew Sarsfield - I haven't seen much of this lad so can't comment.
12 - Tommy Goulden - Not quite.
13 - Sam Barlow - Yes.
14 - Sean Penkywicz - Yes.
15 - Jonathan Pownall - Yes. Just! But, again, is he fast enough for SL?
16 - Michael Platt - Yes. Just!
17 - Ben Reynolds - Not yet, but will be!
18 - Tom Spencer - Yes.
19 - Kurt Haggerty - Yes. Just!
20 - Sam Hopkins - Yes.
21 - Jamie Acton - Yes.
22 - Andrew Dixon - Yes.
23 - Martin Aspinwall - Yes. Just.
24 - Jonny Walker - Not quite.
25 - Cameron Pitman - Not quite.
26 - Gareth Hock - Yes.
28 - Steve Maden - Not quite.
29 - Jake Emmitt - Yes. Just.
Lewis Foster - Not yet.
Jamie Tracey - Not yet.


So by my reckoning, we're not far off. But obviously we would need to buy a few players if we managed to gain promotion.

I believe we'd need at [ileast[/i another winger. Maybe even 2.'"


Loll. Leigh fan in self loving shocker. Super League doesn't want you.

So where exactly am I supposed to post from? Cowardly? In what context? Is it possible to be a brave poster? Lol....

If you have something civilised or remotely friendly to say to someone you do not know then I am all ears.

If you want to post another unnecessary dig or a provocative post then consider yourself on my blocked list.
