I see it that - two extremely poor teams clashed at the Stobart Stadium.
And a weak / not bothered / onfocussed team got turned over at LSV.

I was pointing out that we must have been terrible to lose to a side who is getting pasted every week. Surely you must agree!

When we beat you at Widnes, we were awful, and 'nicked' it at the end.
At home, Widnes were very average, but it was one of Leigh's best games, they really got 'stuck in' and it's the only home game i've enjoyed.

Could we take advantage of the Wiganers while the cry at night? i wouldnt mind Chris Hill for next year from them. Stapleton from Salford too.

widnes and halifax should be in and salford and wakefield should be out

I certainly agree with the Widnes and Fax in but i would get rid of the plastic teams Celtic and Quins.

I think Widnes had the skill factor at the LSV, just got out-muscled up front and ran scared of Leigh.

Gateshead and Toulose are certainly pencilled in for the next franchises,the amount of overseas players they are allowed.Leigh will get nowhere the players come last at that stadium,security is well over the top must cost them a fortune.2nd the catering must be losing big money the rip off prices they charge and the rent of the stadium must be massive its a wonder they have money left to pay the players.Could possibly be a donny situation developing.

Gateshead have to win something first and I can't see that happening.

They also have to avoid relegation first.

They're like the new Whitehaven, really stick at it for the full 80. I am delighted we have beat them twice this year a tough opponent.

Although at 22-6 I got the distinct feeling we thought we'd done enough to win comfortably. Like you say though, Barrow kept at it for a grandstand finish.

It looks like a sad state of affairs at your club. If even less fans turn out at the LSV than usual, and that's been far from impressive this season, it can only make things worse.

I'm looking on in disbelief at your club, as its owner Arthur Thomas took over with the condition that Allan Rowley would be CEO. That appointment seemed to be entirely based on the fact Allan Rowley would do that job for nothing. That seemed to be his main qualification in the eyes of Arthur Thomas.

Allen Rowley then sacks a perfectly good, and very experienced, successful coach at this level and replaces him with his own son, who is relatively inexperienced. This looks like the worst sort of nepotism I’ve ever seen in RL.

How can Leigh ever amount to anything with an owner who doesn’t want to put money into the important area of the running of the club and, as such, appoints a CEO who’s main qualification is that he works for nothing, and that CEO then puts his own son’s coaching career above the interest of the club itself, by removing an excellent coach?

I’m sure these people are all convincing themselves they are doing what’s best for your club, and that they are all liked and respected, but the whole thing looks rotten from top to bottom from the outside.
