Yes Salford got £1.8 million and Leigh got £0.5 million. The clubs lower down the Championship only got £150k max and you have the cheek to complain about having to play Championship teams all season and being unable to condition your players!!! Incredible.

But that is my point! The championship is full of clubs getting bog all money and it's keeping standards way down. If top championship clubs had to play well for at least 50 minutes to win against most opponents in their league then those top clubs would stand a chance of raising their game and claiming a place in SL.

As it is, the top sides need only play for 20 or 30 minutes to beat their opponents.

Well iv'e not been happy with our defence for some time,and it showed again today. Never mind, next week is another chance to put it right.

Re: The Salford match : Sun Aug 16, 2015 6:55 pm  

Well I think we are better than the scoreline suggested.

Sometimes you get the bounce of the ball. Today we didn't.

Rangi Chase had a top game but we missed too many tackles.

We all know as do our players. We can still bounce back and we will.

Re: The Salford match : Sun Aug 16, 2015 7:00 pm  

Well I wasn't expecting to win either of the first two games, and I don't think any leigh supporter with any knowledge of the game would either

Today saw Salford field it's first choice 17 for the first time since April, and at that point they were 4th in SL. That said I can't help but be disappointed by the margin of defeat. Not so much that I wasn't expecting it (I predicted a 30 point margin) but the sheer lack of intensity from some players in defence was shameful.

Clearly some players know they won't be dropped, and quite what our young guns need to do to get a game remains beyond me. Acton and Spencer would have added some much needed desire in the pack, Sarsfield is one of the most gifted ball handling back rowers I've seen for a long time and Pownall when selected this year has been our best winger bar none.

I won't bag the players who aren't in great form, they probably know it, but at some point soon a change is needed. A starting front row with a combined age of over 100 might work for leeds but sadly not for us....

Leigh were awful. That is not a Superleague team. Some fans are far too arrogant.

Jeez, little Leigh have the 'audacity' to beat 2 SL teams in the challenge cup, and be leading Warrington away at half time in the Q/F. Lose 2 league games in the last 2 seasons, so a few Leigh RLFANS get a little carried away. Salford aren't a TOP 4 side are they, like Marwan expected last season ? So, do Super League sides ever put 40+ points past one another ? Don't think they do, judging my some SL trolls comments on visiting our forum. It's like 'how bad are Leigh' all of a sudden. Credit where it's due I think, but maybe not. One of the trolls on here Chissitt (from Wakefield) we had a few exchanges, but I decided to end it, and paid his club a compliment. He ignored that, because he is a keyboard warrior with no balls, and continues with his delirium on here.

I feel privileged, 12 posts in nearly nine years and one about us; it could become a collector's item.
