must say some of our fans this season have gone over the top, i know i got a tad excited at sheffield, and some of the more unsavoury chants i personally dislike, but thought yesterday was fine to be honest.

are you sure you were at the game?? I dont recall any players getting injured

I saw a Batley player get injured in second half it came from a big hit and he came out of it grimmacing holding his wrist and i think he was substituted ,the fans did cheer but it was because he came off worse and not for the injury as he had his back to our fans so they would'nt have seen him in pain.

Sounds like the incident I mentioned, though obviously with the view from behind the sticks I thought he was clutching his stomach rather than his wrist.

Was that 2nd half when Jimmy T nailed somebody to force the knock on? If so then obviously the cheer was for the big hit and for forcing the knock on rather than for the injured player.

This is someone just trying to stare things up that are not there in my opinion.

Not sure who it was, but it was on Batley's left hand side on 20m line-ish.

Think it was as a big cheer went up so to some it may have seemed they were cheering about injury but the fans would'nt have seen it from behind the sticks so bad fans i think not.

Yeah seems a bit melodramatic... Thread should be renamed "Good Tackle!"

as a neutral at batley it was very sad to hear leigh fans cheering when a batley player was injured, and although leigh scraped a win what was all the bad mouthing about at the end of the game, you let the rl family down yesterday, shame on you

load of rubbish boomer the booing was for the useless officials, there was no cheering when a Batley player got hurt, youv'e obviously spent far too much time out in the wind and rain in Huddersfield watching the grapple tacklers supreme

Me and my dad went to the game as neytrals (fax fans) yesterday and heard nothing bad from the Leigh fans, apart from booing the ref, which he deserved!

The only real injury break i can remember was Donlans and thought the Leigh fans were a credit to their club.
