How embarrassing for you to have been fairly beaten by a "crap club" & at home too !

Extremely embarrassed, yes.

I'll sure it won't be too long before Leigh revert back to their natural level. Superleague deserves better.

Clearly your recent results are pretty poor but you have beaten Leigh away already with a worse team,

They certainly did but equally it is widely acknowledged the Leigh team that will line up a week on Saturday for the qualifiers will be a far resemble to the one that took the field for the cup match. Leigh as a club certainly did not want a long cup run at that time.

I also feel Leigh are a better team than most will give credit for. Two great NRL acquisitions have been added to an already competent squad in recent weeks. Daniel Mortimer looks a real class act in the halves, playing alongside Josh Drinkwater and Langi is a beast out wide in the centre.

They have to go to Catalan in these qualifiers but that should not hold any fear. They were only 5 seconds away from securing the Super league points in Perpignan only a few week ago.

One thing I do know, a week on Saturday at The LSV has the makings of a real cracker of a match.

These are Hull FC fans that are slagging Leigh off

Will let you know either way. Maybe because back in different leagues I am less hard line in my viewpoints?Rank dislike has become mild irritation

Same here, I just don't take a lot of interest in the amateur leagues.

Well done in missing the point. But I'm sure you feel better for posting that I'm currently getting ready to watch Cas v Saints there are 2 middle 8 games over weekend televised and i reckon fc fans I'm sure many will watch all 4 televised games. 2 impact their season 2 are not relevant to the current position of our teams I will watch super 8s and not care as a Rovers fan but expect to be entertained. Middle 8s is different as the trapdoor is waiting .Different rewards and pressures.i can see few upsets in our competition and think fev fax and London are capable of beating superleague teams or us in a one off game.We will know If KR are real contenders on Sunday and the Fax game is probably best thing after losing at theirs in last game. Just seen Chase and Gigot banned.Crazy stuff

No . In sport you get what you deserve. I'm at a loss with this fc fans perception they are a "big fish" now.Yes last season and a half it's been upward trend in my opinion it was the 20-22 game that kick started this revival and as much as I'd like to devalue it it has been mostly positive for you.Why begrudge Leigh fans their place at top table? They got up fair n square.You generally come across as smug and I'm sure you will dig up a post from 2 year ago to back up your crap.i can see why people think you and Mrs bar is ta are the same poster.

They look very much like us in 2016, no recruits and an absent maverick half back. Rangi has imploded quicker than I expected.

Re: Lead Balloon... : Thu Aug 03, 2017 8:52 pm  

Just watching cas v saints and it's plain to see saints need/want the win more.For all Cas want to keep unbeaten home record they aren't at same intensity as normal.Still may win with 8 min to go but has same feel as our game v fax .This Sunday I expect us to send out a message to our rivals. (One way or other)

I thought when they signed Rangi it gave them a chance, but looking at the their squad, form and fixtures I think they are on course for 5th, big game for them tomorrow.
