Think the way we are playing at the moment, Bradford or Halifax will beat us. Even when we played Warrington away in the cup, we gave them a game. But Salford (who were in botom 4 for a resaon) beat us very easily today. If we don't beat Wakefield next week, can't see us finishing in the top 5.

Are you for real? You’ve just been humbled by a very good Salford team, a totally different one from the side you beat in the Challenge Cup earlier in the season. To suggest Bradford and Halifax will beat you is laughable.

Well I was one of those Leigh fans that actually thought we'd win at Salford yesterday. It is not arrogance, it's more a hope. A pride in our club. A belief. A positivity. And a confidence because we're an emerging club. Etc, etc - fecking etc.

So all those that choose to believe otherwise can stick it up their backside. This site is great for RL fans to come together and chat, with banter etc and knowledge. However, on the flip side, this site can be equally shiite because it allows all the fecking weirdos to have a voice. It's just as well, though, that there's a "foe" or "blocked" option, which I am using more and more these days.

That aside, Leigh weren't at the races yesterday, from minute one. Salford bullied us and walked tries in. Rangi Chase strolled around the park like he was up against school kids.

Whatever the reason, the Leigh players weren't ready for that match.

But, again, it's still all to play for - and we'll be back.

Come on Leigh!!!!!!!!!

Simple fact is we cant defend against better teams,especialy out wide.Second half yesterday NEVER saw our centres,were they still on the pitch? Lets give Sarsfield a runout at centre,he cant be any worse.

I don't normally comment on games but for me the biggest disappointment was the basic errors. How did we concede the penalty when in possession near our line with just a few mins on the clock? Then not to find touch from a penalty and back chatting to the ref to give away further yards. Possession and field position is key against super league sides and we let ourselves down again with both.

However, I didn't think there was much in it first half. They scored off a stupid penalty and scored two more. We had two ruled knock ons.

Second half, they scored a couple of soft tries when our heads went down.

Also thought are kicking game was poor. If on the last at least kick through to try and get the try or put it up in the air to compete and possibly force the error etc

Saturday is massive. Home advantage is a massive plus and we've got to at least put in a top performance on Saturday which were more than capable of doing

I for one couldn't help myself in praising the tremendous turnout in the North Stand on social media, you did your club proud!!!
Also, forget the final score and what some of your fans believe to be a poor performance, Leigh have a very good ball playing squad who I hope do make it to SL next season (providing it's not at our expense).. Good luck for remaining games

JG, not playing as well as we were earlier in the season. Last time we 'really clicked' was v Featherstone in early July. Final 2 games in the league, Doncaster (1st half) & Dewsbury (2nd half) we were very poor. 1st half v Hull KR was great, although I admit Bradford are on their worst run of the season.

I see the Salford coach (Harris)must be feeling better now as he's currently summarising 5 Live on Saints v Huddersfield.
