Extremely embarrassed, yes.

I'll sure it won't be too long before Leigh revert back to their natural level. Superleague deserves better.

They certainly did but equally it is widely acknowledged the Leigh team that will line up a week on Saturday for the qualifiers will be a far resemble to the one that took the field for the cup match. Leigh as a club certainly did not want a long cup run at that time.

I also feel Leigh are a better team than most will give credit for. Two great NRL acquisitions have been added to an already competent squad in recent weeks. Daniel Mortimer looks a real class act in the halves, playing alongside Josh Drinkwater and Langi is a beast out wide in the centre.

They have to go to Catalan in these qualifiers but that should not hold any fear. They were only 5 seconds away from securing the Super league points in Perpignan only a few week ago.

One thing I do know, a week on Saturday at The LSV has the makings of a real cracker of a match.

These are Hull FC fans that are slagging Leigh off

Same here, I just don't take a lot of interest in the amateur leagues.

No . In sport you get what you deserve. I'm at a loss with this fc fans perception they are a "big fish" now.Yes last season and a half it's been upward trend in my opinion it was the 20-22 game that kick started this revival and as much as I'd like to devalue it it has been mostly positive for you.Why begrudge Leigh fans their place at top table? They got up fair n square.You generally come across as smug and I'm sure you will dig up a post from 2 year ago to back up your crap.i can see why people think you and Mrs bar is ta are the same poster.

Think Widnes are in big trouble

They look very much like us in 2016, no recruits and an absent maverick half back. Rangi has imploded quicker than I expected.

Just watching cas v saints and it's plain to see saints need/want the win more.For all Cas want to keep unbeaten home record they aren't at same intensity as normal.Still may win with 8 min to go but has same feel as our game v fax .This Sunday I expect us to send out a message to our rivals. (One way or other)

I thought when they signed Rangi it gave them a chance, but looking at the their squad, form and fixtures I think they are on course for 5th, big game for them tomorrow.

Thanks for that.

I haven't stated I think we're a "big fish", nor did the post you quoted mention FC. You been out on the pop again? On that note though, since you brought it up, what would be your definition of a big club?

I'm not begrudging Leigh their right to be playing in SL, they earned it, I just hope they go straight back down to be honest as they bring absolutely nothing to the competition.

I see you've brought up Mrs B again. She really did leave a legacy behind when she got banned from here, fair play to her.

You say Leigh bring nothing into superleague? You champion Toronto at every opportunity catalans/Toulose intermittently.id take Leigh every time over over those,you are entitled to your opinion and you are very good with words and again remind me of George Galloway,or barista .whichever suits

Indeed I do. We're very close to going down an entirely different topic, but I'm always happy to talk about the need for RL to expand and open up new markets, broaden talent pools, attract new/larger sponsors and generate media attention. That's what those sides bring/could bring and Leigh simply don't.

George Galloway

Apart from 4 or 5 teams who have contested recent finals who else" brings" more than Leigh to rugby league? Relative success has made you very pious.I stand by my comments that I am only concerned with our attempt at promotion but not sure how Leigh are any better or worse than than your or any other team? Fan base?Own stadium?Club coffers?From the outside looking in they look fairly healthy club?

I've put my reasoning in the post above, and you're right, there are other clubs in SL that bring very little to the table too.
