Think you might bring a few?

I know it's hard with travel and being on TV though.

I'm genuinely worried about the numbers we'll take, we brought a decent following in the playoffs but it'll be nothing like that. Coming off the back of a French away trip, it being on tv and the logistical difficulties of getting to Leigh after work on a Thursday; we could well have more players than fans!

Looking forward to this game, should be a cracker, and I just have a sneaking suspicion that Sheffield will sneak it and with a +8 handicap from the bookies, definitely worth a punt.

Good luck to both teams.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

Re: Official Match Thread - Leigh Away : Thu Jun 07, 2012 8:18 pm  
Well what a terrible performance,Once again weve failed against a top team who wern't that particulary in top form,We just don't have the consistency to maintain a top two position over the course of a full season,Why?,Were okay on the one-off games but we can't consistently put a decent run through all the teams in the competition,For me the tactic of kicking continuosly on the 3rd and 4th tackle was the downfall,It was aimed at putting pressure on them in there own 20 but they just made the same amount of yards and made us tackle more,Too many tackles by us and they romped away with it near the end,We played into there hands,We were tired after putting so many tackles in,Plain stupid tactic,Attacking wise we were awful,no adventure,I know conditions wernt great but Leigh managed to rack the points up,Must do better against the top clubs or it is another lower play-off spot and doing it the hardway again and running out of gas on the final hurdle. UP THE EAGLES!!!!!

I've seen us try that stupid kicking tactic quite a few times over the years and it NEVER EVER works. You end up having a third of possession and therefore end up conceding lots more points than you score. Utterly stupid.

As a Leigh fan, the only problem that tactic poses is that if your chase isn't 100% bob on, you WILL concede field position. IMO, this tactic should only be used at places like mount pleasant, post office road, etc, grounds with a slope. The LSV conducts to fast open rugby, something sheffield excel in, so why not use it? i feel the ref nailed leigh early doors, but the tactics employed by sheff defo more than contributed to the heavy scoreline.

Absolutely bang on mate, nail on head.

We must really enjoy tackling the amount of times we kicked on the third tackle tonight, we got it wrong, plain and simple.

As poor as we were second half we have to doth our caps to Leigh because they were superb and would've taken any side in this division to the cleaners.

We'll just have to settle for our customary playoff victory over them!
