they're not part time amatuers, and I'm not that excited to be honest. Neither would I thrillled at the thought of being in a league, that your/my team has NO chance of silverware, and you just try and survive.

You won't fancy promotion then?

Number of incidents, by club, referred to the disciplinary panel this season :-

Leigh 24
Sheffield 9
Halifax 7
Fev 5
Bradford 4
Doncaster 3
Whitehaven 2
Batley 2
Dewsbury 2
Hunslet 2
Workington 1
London 0

Clearly all of the other clubs are picking on Leigh.....

and, taking Fax for example, 6 out of the 7 were against Leigh. Last year we had 8 referrals and they were ALL against Leigh. Last year Fev had 13 referrals, 9 were against Leigh.

This despite different coaches at both clubs and different players being involved..and against Bradford at the start of this campaign,players with hitherto exemplary disciplinary records became involved.

It hasn't just started with Leigh,it has gone on for years,but they have now crossed the Rubicon as their conduct has become so natural they couldn't prevent it from being shown when the television cameras were in attendance.

They still get away with the forward passes.

The sanctimonious pomposity of Rowell in his post match interview summed up the entire club.

I'm not happy with the concept of Magic/Summer Bash events,but at the very least the credibility of Leigh Centurions is now under scrutiny as a result.

I don't expect any change any time soon but there does appear to be more players wanting to be referees when they finish what they are doing.

You guess so? I thought you didn't want to be in a league where all you could do was try to survive and had no chance of winning silverware. What changed your mind?

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Mon May 25, 2015 8:12 pm  

Leigh are obviously good at what they do. Why would they change it. It works for them and their fans seem to like it. After we lost at Leigh I assumed their tactics were just the norm for the Championship.......but that hasn't been the case........although they are the only club from Lancashire. After enjoying the Super League years I was shocked to see how they approached the game but what worried me more was that Jimmy Lowes and several of the players also seemed shocked. I can't believe Rhino didn't know the script. I'm looking forward to the return match as it will be crucial that Bulls players know exactly what to expect and that it is imperative that they don't react like last time.

Isn't that what Rovers are doing?

Haven't seen anything yet that proves different.
