You can only assume that Leigh lost as they didn’t play well for the full 80 minutes. Maybe he wants all matches to be 40 minutes long

His team throwing away a 12-0 lead and blaming everything but his team? And some think he's a great asset to the sport. It's embarrassing

Derek’s had too many beers again. The bloke is an embarrassment.

Maybe we should make Leigh pay for everyone’s travel to France instead of Bernard Gausch.

Why would anyone show themselves up like that ? He was fine when Leigh beat everyone in the Championship.

Maybe but I don't know for sure, is 3 very chargeable head high tackles by Leeds which were not judged so by the ref, let's see what Tuesday brings, if they decide they warrant a judgement, then the ref has made a or 3 mistakes, if nothing happens then he is correct, but if so what a difference than the first two rounds and don't forget it was this same ref who sent Mickey Mac straight off for something very inconspicuous at Catalan.

When did he keep quiet?

[Harry Stottle]

Back to the game, very poor game management from Leigh, they wanted to play the second half at 200 mile an hour, when steady as she goes would have been a far better option.

[Zilla Budgie]

Can't believe only one Leeds player was sin binned. If that would have been round 1 or 2, they would have had 4 yellow cards. Leigh were very poor 2nd half, made Leeds look quite good... can't blame the ref's for that. When will we win a game?

I know what you're saying but surely  he should keep off Twitter and be more gracious in dealing with it.

Totally agree, I am not condoning what he does but if I put as much of my well earned as he does I may flare up time to time, I am good at being diplomatic when required so I will abide by the OP's instruction.

Him putting money into a club doesn’t give him license to act like a annoying person, it’s not like it’s the first time is it.

I think I’ve found the overalls Derek wants the game to get

I thought both sides look good enough to have a decent season. I also think that this game looked the best of the 3 because the lighting was better (which I thought was the case with the Wigan game last week). It might be our TV. As for the match itself, they were really evenly matched but Leeds showed again how dangerous they are on a roll. Leigh will win plenty though if they can keep their squad fit. 
 

finally, I disagree with the suggestion that a club’s Twitter/live feed can ever be too biased. Its sole purpose in life is to be the one eyed fan’s comfort blanket.

There's bias, and calling out match officials. That's against the "Respect The Ref" campaign, or whatever its called, and they should be punished for it. Fan accounts? Do what you want. Actual clubs? Behave.

Bias is one thing, implying the refs are cheating is another

That's the optimum thing for Leigh, Ipape and Asiata out for minimum 8 weeks, Lachy Lam not looking good when virtually being carried of tonight hopefully that is not another long term injury 3 very influential players for the success of the Leigh team and also Tom Brisco out for 6 weeks.

I suppose what goes round comes round we were so very fortunate on the injury front last season, keeping most of the team fit barring Ricky Lutele for most of the season.

He said in that Twittery thing that has been posted - don't do it myself - that he will no matter the consequences voice his opinion at the meeting this week, will we get to hear what that is? What do you think.

It’s more the official club tweets that are dodgy, Derek can spout whatever rubbish he likes, he’s only making himself look a annoying person

I only get to hear of those things second hand, I don't hold much credence with this Social Media stuff whether it is by DJ Beaumont or millions of others with in my opinion nothing else seemingly better to do with their time.
