What's happening on here? We've got 1 leyther hoping for a Widnes win and another one sympathising with them due to their current difficulties.

If you are refaring to my tongue in cheek post - I was referring to our loss. Surprisingly I don't like Man U either but would gladly have Win -Win for both of us than Lose-Lose.....now if we win and they lose then thats perfect
The more they lose the better in my book!

Sunstroke in Leigh??? It'll never catch on

Unlike up here in Carlisle. Went watching the other Centurions yesterday and now looking a little red!

No its just mediocre. What I have seen this year is just mediocre professional rugby league. I cant call it semi professional because thats what I have been used to for a long time but it used to be a lot better. I keep saying this but I really am working with one of the owners of the South Sydney Rabbitoes and he cant believe the size of the crowds that some SL teams survive on and the quality of the "Championship" games.
I keep defending our game but after ours at Fev how can I?

Sorry mate I was refering to the quality of the game. I'm only happy that he didn't take me up on the offer to come to the pub and watch it with me.

I feel that we see more rugby in the championship though.... There is an over-reliance in this country of quick play the balls and trying to power downfield.

Plenty of good rugby still played during the winter months at Leigh East and Leigh Miners.

The emphasis has changed but I enjoy any rugby league and there is too much made on the supposed halcyon days gone by.

Keith made a good point in that players seem to be having skill coached out of them or at least all taught to the same rulebook. I don't feel there are too many players who seem to want to play off the cuff rugby... I maybe wrong but it would seem everything is down to gameplans and predefined ideas, now there are plus points to that but i the plan isn't working can it be changed?

And Keith is right but the object of our game is to cross the goal line with ball and put it down before you cross the deadball line. Quick play of the ball makes the game faster and therefore more entertaining.
