Sweep Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Sack the board!! In all seriousness (for once) what are the expectations for Leigh this year, are they happy to "take the money" and go back down and build to come back up even stronger (like WBA and Burnely did in football) or is the expectation that they can survive....or is it to enter these silly play off things and survive?

little whitt Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Good effort was that. even I enjoyed it was with Quinny in a working mens club down a back street Leighs's Away top is smart Quote
Smiffs Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Straight up and down doesn't happen. Bottom 4 play top 4 in a mini league, top 3 go into super league and 4th plays the 5th on a one off play off. To finish lower than the highest championship club who have a wage bill half that of a super league club, you need to be a bit shit. Realistically we want to be stay in the league and continue the growth. 3 years ago we were a part time team full of roofers and plumbers so to get a full time 30 man squad in SL is a huge change. It's like athy colls going into the football league in 3 years. Personally I reckon there are 7 or 8 teams stronger than us on paper so injuries, rub of the green, confidence etc means we could finish anywhere between 6th and 12th. Quote
Sweep Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 What do you have to do to be promoted to the proper leagues, and play Bath, Wasps and Leicester? Quote
MalcolmW Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 What do you have to do to be promoted to the proper leagues, and play Bath, Wasps and Leicester? Sign a few more Wiganers. Quote
Smiffs Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 What do you have to do to be promoted to the proper leagues, and play Bath, Wasps and Leicester? Put about 4 stone on and lose the ability to pass and catch. Quote

L/H White Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Did Warrington beat the Barca of the Rugby world tonight? Seen loads on twitter Quote
Big E Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 I agree, It needs to stop. The commentary team suggested that there could be some retrospective action taken as it was happening too often. Maybe it takes a 1 game ban for unsporting behaviour to send a message to the rest of the game to stop it. Definitely needs to happen. Off to Wigan today. Anyone on it ? Quote
Maggie Tate Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Don't like this seven tackles stuff either. In fact I reckon there are a few too many rules now. Quote
Widnes Two Hats Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Am at Leyth on Friday for the visit of the Saints Minibus leaving the work at 3.30, we're going to a pub called Boars Head or somthing similar 1st game in the last 12 months for me Will be doing Widnes v Leyth too Quote
Salford Trotter Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Some tough games tonight for both Salford and Leigh. Quote
fatolive Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 No expert , enjoy watching occasionally,only ever been a couple of times to Leigh, but this Warrington v Castleford match is great stuff. Quote
Casino Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Leigh won by 8 Well done Mr Smiffs If you win a few more you might get promoted to rugby union Quote
Salford Trotter Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Salford lost at the death...gutted..well done Leigh Quote
Spider Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Let's all book Smiffs into the RAF roll call tomorrow Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Leigh will be a great watch this year, if anyone's thinking of getting into Super League, get down to LSV. Short walk from town if you fancy a pint before the game. Seems that there's plenty Wanderers fans from Leigh, although most of my Leigh mates are Liverpool or Man U,(all armchair fans),one good mate a BWFC hard core though, let's return the favour. Fuck off Wigan. Quote

Fuck off Wigan. There are a few Salford fans that support the Wanderers too so we'd welcome them and more to the AJ Bell to watch some thrilling RL this season Quote

I'm Westhoughton and got loads of Leigh mates, so always taken an interest in Leigh. Bolton in general is a massive untapped area for Super League. Quote
Smiffs Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Not as pissed as I expected to be. Fucking great win and lots of bolton fans in the north stand for the first time loved it. Friday night rugby is working and plenty of fans making a night out of it. When micky higham went over there must have been a grands worth of ale hit the roof. Cas...the pace and intensity of that game today was 200% greater than any of the fat lads could manage. And as for the real Cas winning at wire tonight, they are a team to watch this year. Quote
