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.'"
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.

| Quote: Angelic Cynic "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.'"
Charlie always thought he was the one who always talked Rubbish , but reading this load of tripe make me realise I now have a challenger ,this poster would make a great CLOWN ,and would be most welcome at the Tower Circus ,I repeat a load of owd tripe.Charlie knows.

| 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.

| I don't have much of a problem with Aston's comments to be honest, can understand his frustration. That said, the Emmitt try was one where he needed his touch judges to help him because he was unsighted. And with the slowing the play at drop outs (assume he's referring to the second half ones, as Platt's was a genuine injury which ultimately cost us a try), sadly, it's one of those things that ideally no team should do, but every team does do. Especially when it's the 6th or 7th drop out!
There'll be a few decisions that Rowley could point to as well. Including one suspect forward pass leading to a try. Ultimately though, it wasn't a refereeing decision that made the difference, it was a stupid last tackle play at 22-18 that opened the door for Leigh.

Nor was he helped by the over-exuberant celebration of the Leigh players pretending that the try had been legitimately scored,or the actions of the Leigh players as Michael Knowles began to start to explain,in vain,what had occurred.

| Quote: griff1998 "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.'"
Well I suppose thats why it's in your opinion.Would have thought having 12 full timers and the rest part time will in itself become a problem along the way..If you have a dozen full time, why didn't the club go all out?
I'm not saying its wrong and your club knows best. But for me I predict a little turmoil in that changing room at some point.
