Sorry, Son

Not sure what this is meant to be, but I'll leave it at that.

Don't be getting too ahead of yourselves, he's had an encouraging start but so did Powell, as alluded to in my previous post. This is one of the reasons that Wire and their fans get the stick they do, you haven't won anything, Burgess hasn't achieved anything as a head coach, just keep enjoying what he's doing rather than bigging it all up. That's a change in culture that's possibly needed from Warrington fans too.

They're a bit late celebrating this time, wasn't it early April last season when they had their league title winning party in the Kings head?

Anyway, back on subject matter, attendances. From what I can find from this weekend Catalans v Huddersfield 5,892 Bradford v Toulouse 2,720 Swinton v Sheffield 786 Rochdale v Newcastle 379 Keighley v North Wales 1,096 Barrow v Dewsbury 1,675 Midlands v Hunslet 302 (at Sheffield) Oldham v Cornwall 1,136

Is Ellis in it for the long term? I mean, he's obviously only just taken on the role of messiah and the lord god in one as far as Wakefield fans are concerned, why hasn't he been involved previously if he's that much of a fan and that rich ( apologies if he has tried to and I've missed it). If Wakefield don't get back into SL at the first attempt, is he likely to stick around and build the club up or is he just wanting the glory of a few wins and big crowds? Again, apologies I've missed anything as I don't follow the ins and outs of Wakefield too closely. But it seems that the timing was right for this guy to appear and be the saviour but is he just another Koukash/Green/Khan etc?

If I can finally get to see my team win the cup at Wembley before I exit this life, then I don't give a rodents rectum how many empty seats there are in the top tier

Except no doubt Huddersfield will have to face a Lancashire side in their own back yard again I reckon

It's easy to amass an impressive squad when you have money to throw at as many as you want in a hybrid full/part time league. Still, you still have to win games on the field as well as having a nice big pot of cash to play with. Where was this guy when Wakefield needed him?

I thought Welsby kicking out on the full did for them, Wire just tore loose after that.

Welsby has had an absolute stinker today, and therefore so have Saints, who are looking like they rely on him too much now. Bring on the wire!

Top scorer in the NCEL Premier despite missing a few through injury

It was a genuine question as i wasn't sure who was absent for Leigh. All teams have injuries and suspensions at various points of the season, it's part and parcel of the game, that's why clubs employ squads as opposed to a "first team".

I didn't make anything up as you'll see if you read, I asked who was missing who would make a difference, someone mentioned Holmes, who's not really been a regular

Fair enough, I thought I'd seen some criticism of him, so he's not really a premier player Leigh are missing the last couple of games then?

Where's the bitterness? I was complimenting KR and Lewis for a good second half turnaround, I thought they were both poor in the first half. It's getting to the point where everytime a Huddersfield fan posts anything, it's taken as a dig or being bitter, people need to lighten up a bit and stop taking things to heart Good luck in the semi final unless you get us, I best not comment though

Bitter? Pourquoi?

Castleford Wakefield Featherstone Leigh Rugby was the dominant sport in Huddersfield upto the late 1910's when Huddersfield Town under Herbert Chapman became successful. Both clubs had similar histories throughout the 20th century but football is now king in the birthplace of the sport.

I think you're the one who is obsessed, I'm commenting and discussing things on a match thread involving Leigh, isn't that the jist of these discussion forums? The narrative from Leigh is that they have a vastly understrength team and are unable to put out a competitive side, yet there are internationals and fine players scattered all over their team. Or are we only allowed to comment on our own teams? No one other than one eyed Leythers are obsessed with Leigh and Derek Beaumont. I commiserate on losing the game and bid you goodnight.

O' Brien and Holmes have both come in for some criticism from some Leigh fans this season, are they really premier players? Would Hughes/Halton/ O'Donnell not be suitable replacements for Holmes? if not would they not start over him? Mulhern, Asiata and Ipape, granted, hard to replace, but Dwyer has just signed so more than efficient replacement for Ipape, although clearly not as good. Moylan did a decent job replacing O'Brien and McNamara can play half back or hooker. It's not like you didn't have replacements, admittedly, 3 of those would be a big miss but that's really only 3 major players that were missing, hardly a crisis which some Leythers are making out. In my opinion anyway.

But most people on here and most RL fans know it's happening so will look for it. And I don't think there's a big percentage of the nation that will be flicking through iplayer to see if there's any live RL on either.

Does it really matter? If you want to watch a game that is being shown on the BBC, then I'm sure it's not that hard.

These posts turn up countless times every year and they never fail to amuse me, the amount of players that have been "shoe-ins" based on a couple of decent games for Wigan, Saints and in the NRL etc

Wilson would already be a shoe in if he played for certain other teams, one of the best props in the league right now but there must be Wigan or St Helens reserve that hasn't been picked yet
