Yep, that's it, I'm just so jealous of Leigh's success these last few years.

Nowt to do with Leigh's recent success you just have not got over 1971.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of biff. But this isn't biff. This is just pushing every rule to the limit and beyond. Be it offside, holding down, interference and niggly shots, they should be penalised.

It's not like they're going out and seriously injuring players but it's niggly and against the rules and so should be penalised. The fact that it's not penalised often enough is what leads to Leigh continuing to do it and opposition teams getting frustrated. The conduct of the coach and other club officials also doesn't help Leigh's cause.

Let's be clear, this isn't biff. It's just cheating.
Most people want to see free flowing rugby on the back of tough runs and solid defence, not on the back of who can hold down or niggle the best. That's the worst of our game and is what puts people off the sport at both pro and amateur level.

Well it appears some Leigh fans are as one-eyed as their coach's media interviews.

It's everyone else's fault eh?

Leigh play some cracking rugby. They look like a SL team.
But they've got a side of their play that is unnecessary and isn't being dealt with by the officials. Plus an arrogance throughout the club that doesn't help them win any friends.

Anyone who's seen them play this season can see this.

It's like the Salford fans who think everyone hates them, or are strangely jealous of them, just because they question some of Koukash's bizarre actions.

About as one eyed as everyone else on this 20 page thread.

Sorry Leythers, we do have an aggressive style of play. It's not as bad as people make out but we do play very close to the limit of how aggressive you can be and then when the other team reacts we like a tussle.

It's exactly how we nearly lost v Bradford by concentrating on scrapping rather than playing RL, as soon as we started concentrating on playing over losing our tempers we looked really good.

I'm not saying it's something we should change, because it's working, but us being so protective because it's our team is blinkered.

I can't remember who blind sided Paul McShane in the cup tie (Goulden?), but I go mad when McIlorum attacks a player from behind who isn't expecting a shot, so how can I defend a Leigh player who does exactly the same thing?

Thought it was Acton?

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Thu May 28, 2015 7:54 am  

It was, just clicked with me when you said that.

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Thu May 28, 2015 8:02 am  

I thought it was Goulden, only because i thought of him with hair. Acton is bald? I can't recall which one it was now, will put my trust in what you say though.
