There was something fishy about that game. I think that Castleford deliberately took their foot off the gas against their opponents late in the second half. Otherwise the score would have been 60-4.

After all, it was the RFL idea to have P & R which has led to the embarrassment of Leigh in Super League.

Maybe they should investigate how Catalans have a thug called Bird masquerading as a RL player ?

Im sure you will be all for promotion this year if Tolouse come up!!! get a grip man. Without promotion and relegation the competition is boring. Thats from experience....Being a Cas fan whos team was round the bottom with nothing to play for a few year ago. At least fighting relegation made it more fun.

Ah, John Flatcap Dozey ....

How did you manage to say all that while wearing a 6!MP M@$K ?

Back to reality & Leigh RLFC.


Leigh will get better, by what margin remains to be seen.

I have to admit that, though I believe we have a good pack, the legs looked a bit stuck in quick sand for much of the game. How much of that is down to age or lack of fitness I don't know but what I do know is that Cas controlled almost everything & played smart with obvious talent. It was down to Cas Tigers skill & smart play that Leigh energy depleted fast, any team that faces that many defensive sets will tire & fade quickly.

H.H went well & showed he still has class & can compete, Gaz Hock always keen to take it to the line & Josh Drinkwater showed some nice timing. Ryan Hampshire has some pace & ability to show.

A good few Leigh players were way off the mark, some of which I least expected, Mitch Brown struggled for example, Riddy was nowhere near his best & Atalea Vea looked weak & disinterested (though in Vea's case we were warned by Saints fans).

Lots to fix up before Leeds & to stand any chance of some wins but I maintain it is doable.

I really hope we are not maxed out on the SC & have some wriggle room to improve the squad later in season maybe, strikes me that a lot of SL teams look a lot more expensively assembled, who knows.

Rhinos at home on Friday, should be a great atmosphere at least.

Well then Cappy,In that case,there is no point in promoting anyone is there? And that goes for Toulouse.

I don't want Toulouse promoted. I want them licensed, along with London, Bradford (subject to financial guarantees) and Hull KR, which is the way a struggling sport like ours needs to be run.

Your squad value will be above Wakefield and Widnes who are nowhere near the cap. The problem comes with how much a player (agent) demands to play for you. If a young player is offered two equal contracts; Wigan @ £30k, or Leigh @ £30k, then they're going to pick to play at Wigan almost every time. This means that Leigh (and other lower placed clubs) need to offer more money to attract a lower quality of player. The next problem Leigh (and now Salford) have is that a lack of academy means that they don't have a plentiful supply of young lads coming through the system who will want to play for their hometown club, they now need to buy every single player from somewhere else. It's no accident that the clubs with the best academies are also the clubs which are generally towards the top of the league
