Good to see the passion from the Leigh fans over yesterdays victory. It will be a shame when promotion/relegation returns and this is replaced with it being treated more as an irritant on the quest for the promised land of SL.
I think the Leigh fans need to remember how they were brought down a peg or two by Hull KR in our promotion season back in 2006.
I tried telling them pre-season they didn't have the squad to compete with us but they wouldn't be told. Players in that squad included Cockayne, Steel, Murrell, Webster, Fisher, Aizue, Netherton, Joseph - all of whom had Super League careers
beyond the 2007 survival season so it's quite obvious they were never going to be challengers come the business end.
Maybe if they'd have curbed their arrogance, they may have paid more attention to how we were going about things but they didn't and paid the price.
Regarding yesterday's game, I thought the Eagles were badly done to by the ref second-half several times and deserved to win the game more than Leigh!
