Do at least try and be serious.Huddersfield had Ferres,a forward sent off - the covering for a forward is a lot easier than covering for a half-back play maker.

That is why your illustrious neighbours had Flower target Hohaia and in the previous Grand Final Westwood spanked the half back.

You will notice that it was the forwards who did the damage.You will remember all your interchange on Sunday were forwards - as were ours.

Mark 'The Assassin' Aston apparently sent out a very young player with an unblemished record to deliberately injure your full back and then when the game was well and truly lost,and in the closing stages,another player,not a forward,was tasked with the job.

Of course all this effort was done because we were playing a far superior team and yet when we played an establishd Super League side in HULL FC we managed to go the 80 minutes without any trouble,injury causing,or cards.

Any idea why forward Hock cannot knock anyone off-balance when he punches?

Any idea how you could sign Andrew Dixon and remain under the salary cap after releasing a player,was it Beaumont to Whitehaven?,and yet you can then sign Hock,Hopkins and the lad from Catalans Dragons without news of any other player releases?

AC I bet you drink BITTER when you are out you seem obsessed with Leigh and our Salary Cap , we have a very good accountant who manages our Finances very well ,as for Gareth Hock?The guy has been behaving and playing very well recently ,my opinion of you Seagulls is if you play to your true ability you are no doubt a good side , it's a pity you let it slip on Sunday , no doubt we will meet again before the year is over , I for one can't wait,I hope you finish 3rd in the League as you deserve it,best wishes Charlie.

Nah,not really.I quite admire clubs where supporters have a financial input and LISA seem great in that respect:Batley and others,likewise.

If a club strikes lucky,so be it:as with Warrington and Salford et al.

I want to see the best players.

I like the sport but if rules are in place they should be applied.

The PTB with the foot should be applied - but if Leigh are like a Super League club it is with the PTB not being played correctly allowing the scoot.Why not remove/change the ruling so all teams do it legally?

PS I Hope Chris Hill NEVER plays it correctly on Sunday and Warrington win!

I wasn't there (Leigh Sports Village has the worst tasting and most expensive tea I have ever encountered in rugby league, so I'm not keen to go back).

Relying on the "highlights" it looks like Corey Aston's tackle was reckless rather than malicious, but deserving of a red card. Sam Smeaton's "late tackle" was more not getting his arm out of the way after the ball had gone, it's clear from his reaction that it wasn't intentional. Happily it looks like McNally's not too badly hurt. We'll see what the disciplinary panel have to say. There's no coverage of the punch-up so I'll have to wait on the panel for that one too.

Don't let not seeing the game put you off commenting Pete. These forums are full of opposition fans talking about dirty Leigh without having seen us play
