When we were struggling yesterday, we made a change in the halves and took control of the game. We were actually in the lead when it kicked off yesterday. Both teams were idiotic yesterday and it wasn't one bringing the others down to their level

The twitter exchanges are strange. I can't believe that people in the public eye get drawn into arguments on there. If its been hacked then thats something his media manager should have been all over, so i doubt thats happened.

On the brawling, i suspect Leigh's current (nearly 2 yrs now) form is really winding up opposition players, not started by leigh themselves

The words "brawl" and "Leigh" appear with alarming regularity in weekly match reports. When they struggle, they revert to niggling and match disruption. They've got it down to a fine art. But it's working. Teams can't handle it and fair play to them - they're top of the league still.

Sorry Rich, but you're talking cack. We had 2 players sent off at different times while we were in possession. That's reacting to dirty or niggling play, not starting it.

I'm not condoning Leigh's retaliation yesterday but the holier than thou attitude of some Fax fans is so ridiculous it's funny!

Apologies, my comment was meant to be tongue in cheek, I haven't seen what happened obviously and presumed the OP was a fax fan hence my comment.

My point is to read previous match reports - Sheffield, Featherstone, Batley, Bradford etc..etc...

It's every week. Common denominator is Leigh.

I'm not saying they shouldn't play dirty - Widnes got it off to a tee in the eighties and it served them well.

the only defence for a drunken moron on the internet is "my account was hacked". Like you say, if it wasn't him someone at Leigh would have noticed, and they would have shut the account down immediately.

But it's not an official club account, it's a personal account, so no club staff would have access to close it down.

It just proves the unprofessional nature of some people involved in RL unfortunately.
