Parker and Brierley (who could hardly walk this morning) were at LSV at 9am coaching the 20's, while the molly coddled Wigan players were tucked up in bed.
Remember, our players do a full days work, then train at night, then eat sleep and repeat all week for 1/30th of what Tomkins earns, so I have nothing but respect for our players.
We are a team with no money to spend but we always stick together.
Leigh are a team in their own right whichever division we are in.
An excellent post bar the silly jibe. Yes, the gulf was frightening and we all know the reason, full time more talented v part time less talented, too old. It was sad to watch that last night and yet you come on forums like this and think did I go to the same game as these posters. Leigh were treated with disdain, youngsters given debuts, players rested, players not even trying at times yet not a damn thing Leigh could do about it. Leigh could not make any yards whatsoever, could not win contact either in defence or attack, were getting bounced around by Charnley and Tomkins yet to hear many Leythers here you were fantastic and played a great game. Get real, it is that delusion that sees Halifax put 60 past you, Sheffield and Featherstone beat you easily.
Leigh SL 2014 "We intend to deliver the most compelling, exciting, innovative, and first class performances within the Championship – both on and off the pitch, together with our partners in Leigh Sports Village, our supporters and the community. We beLEIGHve that we will be the only clear and logical choice for the RFL to nominate Leigh Centurions for Super League in 2014" is a sick joke. You cannot even compete at a Championship Level yet your fans begrudge taking advantage of help and assistance offered to them. Bar Brierley your backline is painfully slow and will not threaten Championship teams. McNally is a pale shadow of the youngster that turned pro. Maden should be retired. Littler is a forward at best. Gardner is big but soft. Even Brierley lack the inventiveness he came into the pro ranks with. Surely Leigh would be better with some genuine fast basic backs. Burgess a kid at Wigan not ready for SL could lighjt up many a championship game. If you think Ridyard and Brierley are good, Williams and Hampshire although not ready for SL are already better.
Nobody in the Leigh squad is a SL quality player. The closest is Brierley.
