I have thought long & hard about this post because I don't want any WT fan to think I am being patronising.

Firstly, if by any chance you do lose on Sunday, I don't think it is the end of the World.

If you do by any chance get relegated after the 8's I don't think that is the end of the World either, although I confess to not fully umderstanding the full extent of the issues surrounding Trinity.

A great many SL fans seem to see the Championship as a barren wasteland where all clubs are flapping about like a fish out of water, it simply isn't true.

The top 4 or 5 clubs are doing just fine thanks, decent crowds for Leigh, Bradford, Eagles & Fax.
The standard of rugby is very good, it's entertaining & some say even more entertaining than most SL matches.
Relegation 'could' in fact be just the catalyst required for a ressurgence of the club, a new dawn if you like.

I suppose what I am trying to say to all you WT fans is, should the worst come to the worst, don't get to disheartened, there is life outside SL.
Only 2 years ago we were in the cack, bucket collections for players wages, narrowly avoided relegation 3 or 4 years back..


Now, as for the game Sunday, I really hope it's a corker, both sides near to full strength & both sets of fans out in force & in good voice.

I have said this before but, Leigh are not on form & I predict this to be a game too far despite the well deserved victory over Salford, a club let's not forget who have spent big & can still only attract 1900 to a SL fixture.

I am working a 10 1/2 hour shift Sunday so can't be there, or watch it live, so may the best team win & have a great day.


Oh & by the way, noise - you won't have heard anything like it, we are loud & proud.

Thanks for your kind words and I certainly don't see them as patronising. I fully understand the message you are sharing.

The reason for the doom and gloom about potential relegation is more to do with resource. If we go down we have a millstone of a ground rent to pay which would be very difficult to cover and then pay for a competitive squad. I fear that relegation would equal - can't/struggle to pay ground rent, can't afford competitive squad, dwindling attendances (already happening) which leads to further relegation and no way back.

We don't have a rich backer I believe that you do (?) hence your great turn around in fortunes. If we could have a rich backer they should be buying the club now whilst there is a chance of staying in Super League. I think it is easier to stay here than it is to earn promotion under the current system. Sadly with an under performing squad and a coach who doesn't appear (from a fans point of view) be able to get the players motivated then the future looks bleak.

Whilst I always want to win every game I can see a Leigh victory on Sunday as a blessing. It would free us up from Cup ties so avoid a back log of fixtures which would stretch the squad further. It would also give our squad a kick up the jacksie so they don't take you lightly in the middle 8. I'd rather lose to you in the Cup and beat you in the middle 8 / million pound game if we had to choose. Naturally though I'd prefer to win everyone of those matches.

Maurice! we've provided you with a field to play on plus a ball to play with, we've even gone tut trouble of arranging a local referee to come and ref the game, we've ordered in extra pie and peas plus the sachets of mint sauce are being provided free, I'm told they've no intention of watering the beer down either for this game, we've also gone to great expense printing tickets for you, and we've already met your request for free parking, and now your wanting a roof over your head, blumming heck is there owt else you want while your at it
btw you won't need a roof over your head, you'll be in God's own County where the sun always shines on the great and the good

Because of the wealth generated in Oldham and Rochdale and down town Shaw, excessive building expansion in the area means they have encroached into the Huddersfield area, the visa issue was cancelled by Kirklees Council after lobbying from the Giants SL club who saw this as an opportunity to try and swell their failing support for their home matches. All is not lost though because any Leigh fan going to the match over Woodhead will be diverted left at Millhouse Green and down through Honley as Visa restrictions are still in place in The Peoples Republic of South Yorkshire.

P.s did you ever find out the identity of our bitter ex, try scorer

No but I have a daughter who is a criminal profiler and psychologist, she's working on it for me. So far she's suggesting it is someone born in the 1950s or early 1960s who never quite made it as a player but has had enough contact in the game to kid themselves that they know what they're talking about. Likely to have absolutely zero coaching qualifications the individual in question has created a fantasy world where he taught Craig Bellamy and Wayne Bennett everything they know, in that world common practices from the 1970s are still the pinnacle of coaching and athlete preparation.

The search continues . . .

Sounds a bit like Martin Clawson....

I think Wakefield will win by at least 10 points everybody is getting carried away by Leigh but there average at best when I watched you on Thursday against us your forwards impressed me I just think you will have to much for them

Thank you very much. That is great.

It will be tough for Leigh to come away with a win due to the level, intensity and the quality of teams Wakefield are playing week in, week out. I just hope it's a great game. See you all Sunday. May the best team win.

That would be true if wakey could get within 50% of that intensity....... meanwhile players like; Spencer, Wilkes, Fui, Hock have been playing at that intensity since being a pro player... roll on Sunday

Nah she's not even close, Here's a few clues to be going on with, he's played on the wing but is deffo not one, a supporter at one of his former clubs threw his shirt at him on the field, might be a bit controversial here but we could do with him at the moment, and finally if she does not get it with this may I suggest a career change for her, he's been seen on a regular basis in North London but not doing a lot other than stalking you
