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

so Tracy in the media/marketing office is sat at home on Sunday night looking at her twitter, and sees her boss apparently sending abusive tweets from his personal accounts, I would imagine her first reaction would be to ring him and ask what was going on. At which point he would close it down.

Like I have posted on the Halifax forum, I was 10 yards from the initial offence whereby Leigh had possession with Haggerty 2 yards from the Halifax line, Calahane the Fax prop was giving Haggerty's face a real going over with his elbows and Haggerty lashed out.

The brawl started there, like I have said earlier, it was needless with so little time left on the clock but it came from Fax's frustration at going behind.

Leigh are not angels but it seems like every team tries have a fight because they cannot compete at rugby.

Richard Marshall reckons Calahane just rolled away.

Someone stated the common denominator was Leigh, but I put forward another common denominator as you stated Binosh are the tactics teams are resorting to to try and beat Leigh.

May have been out on Sunday night, and not glued to twitter. May have tried contacting the owner and not been able to. Point I was making was no staff at the club would have been able to shut down the tweets or the account directly.

Suspect DBs Twitter account has been hacked. Never used foul language or text speak in previous exchanges.

Apart from live on radio at the Bradford match.

The RFL are at least 2 thousand quid better off now though so it's not all bad.

That has nothing to do with his writing style on Twitter, which is what I was referring to.

It was my understanding that a lot of the trouble surrounding Leigh was retaliations to opposition temper flares.

This is quite understandable, teams are going to lose the plot when they simply cant beat a team, ever which is the current case, and you cant really blame a team for retaliating to that sort of thing.

It would be interesting if Leigh do make it in to SL next year, and then compare the trouble they get in when they aren't winning every game for years at a time.

nobody mentioning the unprovoked headbutt by Armstrong that saw him sent off?

Featherstone were the previous dominant force in the Championship, finishing top of the table four years running prior to Leigh's good run starting last year and the team that every other team wanted to beat throughout that era, yet there was never any persistent suggestion either of Featherstone using thuggish tactics or their opponents resorting to such tactics on a consistent basis.
