Primarily = for the most part. 9 part-time players while we also had 8 full-time players in the matchday squad. It's kind of the case, isn't it..

| The term "full time player" implies to me that the worker does nothing else but play or prepare to play.
Imho, we don't have any full time players. Rather, we have full time workers whose duties include playing.

No, he was stood on the touch line about five metres from goal.

| Angelic Cynic - a genuine question for you.
Why the bitterness against Leigh?
I have seen posts from you on rlfans and other sites on the subject of Leigh Centurions and you obviously have real issues with us. I would genuinely like to know why.

Eagles - well played
Ain't sitting at home seething about losing - far too early in the season;just disappointed in the manner of the loss and surprised at how few of the hordes of Leigh followers actually attended to see the fantastically coached Centurions side take advantage of individual errors,a slight misunderstanding and dubious refereeing decisions.
I am actually quite pleased to find how many people are far from impressed with the 'style of play' as coached by Rowley.I was beginning to think it was just me.
You just concentrate on your cup final against Salford - Don't concern yourself with me.
After you lose your cup final spend some time and work out how much it will cost for a whole new squad for Super League cos your lot were made to look very average for a large percentage of the game.
It was amusing to see Barlow and his ostentatious bow in the direction of the Eagles coaching staff.
Risible that a complete lack of grace,discipline and dignity is inherent in your club from bottom to top.
I am slightly baffled how your club retains its sponsors.

I genuinely try to admire Leigh;but it is still beyond me.
Your head coach,when he was first in temporary charge,whinged like a baby about the referee when he lost at Gateshead Thunder.
Your club is one of a handful which appears to have benefitted from assistance from the RFL.
Added to this is the assistance from the local Labour MP,in a number of situations. rlHererl and rlHererl
* Unlike Keighley who lost out following a bit of Dual Reg regulation breaking who failed to use their political connections rlThis One - Beats merl
You seem to have a creative accountant,or just carte blanche authority from the RFL when it comes to the salary cap - It don't bother me;I would just like to see some good rugby league being played,but it seems on every occasion I see Leigh play they resort to the tactics they must rely on each game.
The best one yet being the hypertrophied,the most hypertrophied player on the pitch,managing to jump his enormous frame over the ball at the PTB to win a penalty.One of a long,long list of unnecessary misdemeanours;as usual.
As for the hypocrisy from your supporters towards Dr Koukash since he took over at Salford and their volte-face,well...
Hope Salford smash you next Saturday...
I could go on,but you get the reasoning behind it.

Is that it ????
I really thought you'd had a bad experience at the LSV or Hilton Park.
Sorry mate but I don't get the reasoning behind it, all seems very irrational to me.
Do you have these sorts of feelings towards other clubs? Fev? Fax?

| Leigh arent breaking the Salary Cap, as the Eagles Directors have pointed out, its quite big this season! Well done to the Leythers, sure Sam Barlow can be a bit of a plonker when on the pitch and your Chairman's tweets are a bit cringeworthy, but your having a real go to make a bit of a stir in rugby league so good luck to you in the quest for Super League!

Now that is funny. It was like 'Wheres Wally trying to spot a Sheffield fan. I note we gave you your best attendance to date, and considering London have very few fans that travel, the 361 attendance for your game against them must be the sum total of Sheffield fans. That was more than you took to the NR Cup Final too, now that was embarrassing.

You do realise you come across as quite pathetic.

Its just a cultural thing. We're from Yorkshire, they aren't. Don't try and understand, just accept. We tend to forget how fortunate we are. Bulls had an ongoing thing with Saints for a few years, and Leeds took over then ......... not a lot of love lost there. Fortunately there's only one club from the dark side in this league and plenty of Yorkshire derbies.

| We've seen a few "country mile" sides come along. Halifax, Fev, now Leigh.
Here today, run out of money tomorrow.
Enjoy the rain.
