I'm sorry but this is all nonsense 
We can all sit around calling Leigh thugs when they play like this against all of the SL teams. But the fact is they won't.
They were relatively clean against Wakefield and seemed to be on the back foot until a spark in the second half that saw Wakey crumble like they have done every game since round 2.
When they're up against SL sides every week they'll be unable to play the way they do currently and will adopt different tactics as their current tactics won't work for them in SL imo.

I think this proves a point. When Leigh play SL opposition we play more rugby and get involved in less scrapping. That's because the game is played quicker than in the championship.
If we are allowed to play the ball quickly we will surprise a few. We won't get into the top 8 for a couple of seasons but we should be able to hold our own in the middle 8's and build from there
