Not really the case then,is it!

Primarily = for the most part. 9 part-time players while we also had 8 full-time players in the matchday squad. It's kind of the case, isn't it..

The term "full time player" implies to me that the worker does nothing else but play or prepare to play.

Imho, we don't have any full time players. Rather, we have full time workers whose duties include playing.

Wasn't McNally on the field for the second try? He was there when you restarted.

No, he was stood on the touch line about five metres from goal.

Angelic Cynic - a genuine question for you.

Why the bitterness against Leigh?

I have seen posts from you on rlfans and other sites on the subject of Leigh Centurions and you obviously have real issues with us. I would genuinely like to know why.

Eagles - well played

Angelic Cynic -

Ain't sitting at home seething about losing - far too early in the season;just disappointed in the manner of the loss and surprised at how few of the hordes of Leigh followers actually attended to see the fantastically coached Centurions side take advantage of individual errors,a slight misunderstanding and dubious refereeing decisions.
I am actually quite pleased to find how many people are far from impressed with the 'style of play' as coached by Rowley.I was beginning to think it was just me.
You just concentrate on your cup final against Salford - Don't concern yourself with me.

After you lose your cup final spend some time and work out how much it will cost for a whole new squad for Super League cos your lot were made to look very average for a large percentage of the game.

It was amusing to see Barlow and his ostentatious bow in the direction of the Eagles coaching staff.

Risible that a complete lack of grace,discipline and dignity is inherent in your club from bottom to top.

I am slightly baffled how your club retains its sponsors.

Leigh arent breaking the Salary Cap, as the Eagles Directors have pointed out, its quite big this season! Well done to the Leythers, sure Sam Barlow can be a bit of a plonker when on the pitch and your Chairman's tweets are a bit cringeworthy, but your having a real go to make a bit of a stir in rugby league so good luck to you in the quest for Super League!
