The Leigh fans clearly don't think we are up to much, they have a thread going called 'undefeated' that's worth a look

Re: Defence this year 2015 : Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:50 am  

not really worth a look, as the only post of interest is that we are at 16-1 to go undefeated whereas they are 20-1, which they fail to debate. noteworthy is that both are odds against not for, which tells you all you need to know, actually no it doesnt, the odds on topping the 12's tell a tale too.

Maybe they will maybe they won't. It would be good to finish top as the extra price money is worth the effort and big help as we know. But it's about how you perform in the play offs (assuming Leigh qualify for them) that counts. As every teenage mother of Wigan and Leigh will tell you. Pulling out the big plays is a matter of timing.

" Undefeated" saw the thread, I was suitably amused. Yes sport is about timing, certainly coming to the latter end.

Going unbeaten in the meaningless phase 1? So what.

Phase 1 is where 3 teams with big boots have to stomp on puppies for lots of rounds. Some of the puppies are a bit bigger than others and might snap a bit, but they are all puppies.

Phase 2 is where the 3 teams with big boots plus one puppy get stamped on by teams wearing absolutely huge boots.

Shouldn't you have sent this in to Boots n All?

Don`t recall any player getting sent off in the first minutes of the Championship GF. So can you back up the `brawls being commonplace` in the Championship?

He probably just meant if Leigh are involved in a game.

I've never thought of Leigh as arrogant and quite fancy going this year.

Does anyone know where it is?

Isn't it a small town in Wigan?

To be fair, it's a post about the odds the bookies give on going undefeated, and most replies, point out that they are miserly. We didn't even go undefeated last year, and it's a far stronger league this year.

Can't claim to know too much about the Bradford team this year, but they are favourites to win the league this year according to bookies, and they're not often wrong!

The optimism for Leigh fans is down to the fact that we have best squad we've had for a long long time. Looking forward to seeing how we stand up against Bradford and London. Should be a great season!
