Thur 4th Apr: SL: Leigh Leopards v Wigan Warriors KO 20:00 (Sky)

[Wigan Riversider]

It will be no surprise to anyone that I didn't watch the game. I refuse to subscribe to Sky TV and had no intention of attending LSV.

However, absolutely delighted that Wigan won.

I really don't think calling out poor behaviour is as bad as the poor behaviour itself.

Inclined to agree. My post was more tongue-in-cheek rather than a telling off or attempt to take the moral high ground.

Fair enough.

What's the view on Hardaker? He seemed very pedestrian last night, a squad player as it were. I'd somehow expected more.

You really want people's views on Zak Hardaker?

It is a salaried position these days for the media role at Leigh and has been for a couple of years now.

With I think now half a dozen holding the role in the space of 3-4 years. Make of that what you will.

Everything that is bad, poor, lax, unprofessional, laughable, embarrassing at Leigh is down to the culture created by one man, one man who craves more attention than his club, his coaches and his players.

Christ, he even made winning the challenge cup, a fantastic achievement for Leigh RLFC and it's fans, about him. serendipity and all that sh!t.

Yet people in Leigh can't see what's wrong with him or will hear a bad word about him.

I think the polite way would be to say differing levels of tolerance.

They manage to do it by having a lot of quality homegrown players and the money to be able to use the marquee rules effectively.

He is Yesterday's Man John, what he once had is waning and quickly, albeit I never saw him as a centre how he got those International Selections in that position just showed the lack of quality we had in those positions, and his days of being a 'class' fullback ended with his time at Cas, even in the very recent game v Fev in the cup when he had to go to Fullback he was just to slow when joining in the line and has zero ability in passing the ball.

All just my opinion.
