| Quote: Angelic Cynic "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.
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.

| Looking at it from the West Stand, it looked pretty much evenly spread to 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.'"
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.

The NRC final was poor, but it had zero interest from the club supporters with a challenge cup quarter final the week after

What ? A cup final which we at least looked to have a very good chance of winning as opposed to a quarter final which we had a very good chance of losing ?
Please - don't embarrass the club with implausible excuses.

| Just viewed Moaning Marks Aston's after match comments ,my God that bloke can moan for Great Britain ,He's deffo worse than Karl Harrison, moan, moan, bloody well moan, give it a rest will you, Leigh slowed the game down, the ref was rubbish, and so on and so on, Emmits try wasn't a try , never mentioned the fact that Sheffield scored two tries while Leigh were down to twelve men , never mentioned the fact that the penalty count was something like 11 to 5 in favour of Sheffield, I as the question are Mark Aston and Angelic cynic one and the same Man.

| Before the match we said that whatever the result, which we thought could go either way, the way we performed would probably define how we would get on for the rest of the season. So at the end we were disappointed, but felt the performance has set a platform for a real good go at a top four finish. Two tries from silly mistakes and one that shouldn't have been given shows how close we came, and the penalty count shows we are starting to sort out our discipline - though with the lack of consistency from that referee perhaps that's saying too much.
That said it's clear why Leigh are riding high at the moment, and we could learn from how they do it. Their half backs boss the game very well - they know how to frustrate the opposition and hold on to a lead, and there is quality throughout the team, pity some of it comes from Sam Barlow!
Let's have some fun against Hull (pity I can't be there), then keep improving against Halifax and Bradford.

Imagine what he would have said had Leigh used Mr Cobb again....... £250 fine at least.
