I get the impression that opposition owners/chairs,head coaches,and opposition players seem to have come to the same opinion as some fans.

I don't think jealousy is the correct word.

A successful side,consistently winning should be admired.

It is increasingly the case that Leigh Centurions are NOT admired.

And here's an example of why Leigh are making so few friends amongst other clubs - any criticism is immediately rejected as jealousy. There are plenty of us who have commented admiringly about some of the tremendous open rugby Leigh have played over the last couple of years, and you'd struggle to find many Championship followers who wouldn't say they've been head and shoulders the best team in the division over the last 18 months, but if anyone dares to comment on their disciplinary record or the on-field attitude of some of their players towards officials/opponents, it's immediately dismissed as "jealousy" from other teams' fans. Well, forget about the fans, have a read of the comments made by players from a wide range of Championship rivals last night and this morning as the Twitter spat unfolded. The taunting, the patting of heads after an opponent's mistake etc and the boorish behaviour of the director of rugby etc has left its mark.

I know Super League & Bradford fans won't be jealous...but I know exactly where you're coming from Demon !

"Leigh had a strategy to win the game," he added.

"They felt they couldn’t deal with his open and honest game where he just runs as hard as he can and keeps as fit as he can so he can go longer than anybody else.

"Leigh concede they can’t do that so what they do is wait until he is on the floor and cheap shot him and head butt and try to get him to retaliate and get sent off.

"While ever those thugs aren’t being made accountable, you will always give those thugs the motivation to do it."

I can assure you, the man who said that was in no way jealous of Leigh.

It's all getting a 'little bit' silly now. v Fax yesterday, like I have already posted, if we'd have lost...no complaints. Halifax made hardly any mistakes. and definitely the best side that nullified our attack in 2015. As for the Wakefield game, why are some fans even arguing 6 days before the game ? I am looking forward to it, but with our recent form (Batley game excluded) I predict a Wakefield win, but should be a good game. And can I add, for folk that don't see Leigh play week in/week out, we are not a 'filthy' team, I know I am biased, but some of these RLFANS posts, are ridiculous. After tonight I am staying off this forum, because I am getting really 'wound up' by these constant 'digs' at Leigh Centurions. Just looking forward to Sunday.....Leigh/Fax/Wakefield fans have no need to be constantly bickering.

Sarsfield was lucky not to get a red after that incident at Headingley. Was similar heads in on the floor that leigh players (stupidly) reacted to in the game yesterday.

Yep i cannot disagree, and Peacock should have followed him !

As a Leigh fan, i will keep my opinion to myself in regards to some of the players. These players consider themselves 'Enforcers' and to be honest, need to take a Leaf out of Fui's book and get on with the game ! If they did this, they might be half decent players.

One thing is for sure, Sundays game will be interesting. Wakefield will have something to prove and Leigh haven't played well the past 2 games at all. You have to fancy Wakey at home for this one, and by some margin surly ?

I was just being a little mischievous. Start of every season pretty much every sides fans ask for a big nasty niggly prop yet as soon as we see anything there is wailing and gnashing of teeth
