| Pretty much agree with Duckzilla. You probably were good for a bonus point but were lucky in a sense as Dom missed two relatively simple penalty goals which would've ultimately put it out of reach.
For me we saw another example of why the bonus point is a crap rule tonight. A team losing by 14 points with 2 mins left shoots for goal at a penalty. Nothing against Leigh, I'd expect any team to do the same given the system is as it is, but to me that's just not rugby. Making sure you only lose by a certain amount. I guess that's a discussion for another time though!

Pleased with a bonus point.
Thanks for your input.
From a Budgiezilla to a Duckzilla.....kinda related !
Good to hear your not drowning your sorrows as theres no need, theres something very special this year at sheffield (except your win in the NRC final) I really have to pinch myself at times and fingers crossed it continues.
Related? we're all zilla's arn't we

| Well done on the win tonight eagles, I couldn't make it but at 12-0 down I feared a bit of a hiding especially with our two best forwards out, we made a game of it it seems and no doubt we'll meet again in the play offs, we won't be far away that's for sure.

Special mentions for Alex Szostak, Eddie Battye, Misi, Vinny and MENZIE

| Quote: Jvl "as a leigh fan, you lot only seem to praise players like Yere and QLT when they score tries. QLT had an outstanding game maybe best on the pitch. We looked good at times and with our full strength team we have a lot to look forward to. Enjoy the win. Hope to see you in the grand final!'"
I thought you lot did quite a good job on QLT to be fair, can only remember him breaking the line once. I thought he had a decent game but I've seen him play better. Maybe we're just spoilt!

| He is a special player no doubt.
Just hope our next game against your lot is on a Sunday.
(Well done on the win you deserved it on the night.)
We will play our strongest side then.

| A good game tonight run at a high pace & I thought we was worthy of our bonus point with our performance. For you I thought Szostak had a good game he's a strong lad reminds me of our Hopkins a bit & Yere was a beast tonight. The signs lead to a exciting playoff run for us both I can't wait

I'd say your spoilt. We didn't handle him well at all. He made at least three line breaks, was excellent under the highball and make a cracking tackle to save a certain try from us. Wouldn't mind seeing him in a Leigh jersey but we can't complain,although McNally fills that position very well. Must be hard to please you lot☺

It was Taulapapa who made the tackle mate. Q was good under the high ball which is something of a relief as he's been a bit suspect in the last couple of weeks. Ridyard tested him early with a couple of bombs which he dealt with brilliantly.

100% positive it was QLT. I know which play your referring to with Taulapa but it was defintely QLT that saved the try under the posts.

| There were a lot of penalties, weren't there ? - 28 in all. Could be a sign both teams were pushing things to the edge.

Charlie - you and your unduly sarcastic mate Barty seem to be under the impression that I said Leigh went bust. You're thinking of somebody else, pal.
However, as you ask, Sporting Club Leigh Ltd was incorporated on 12 November 2002, so I'd guess just before that.
Am I right ? Does Charlie know ?

| Excellent performance, the only disappointing thing about the evening was the attendance (just over 1000) did we choose to play the game on a Friday Night ? if so why ? if we played it on Sunday Afternoon i would guess that we would get another 200 fans through the turnstiles more Leigh fans would be able to attend and people who were working Friday night could attend as well
