Well, Leigh have beaten London twice this year, both times fair and square, both times the better team won and neither game was dirty in amy way, I admire them and most of us wish we had their Chairman at London.

I think virtually every club would rather have Uncle Derek as their chairman. The one think that irks me about Marc Green (my chairman) is that he doesn't call people a soft nob anywhere near enough.

A few weeks ago Derek told a Salford fan on twitter that he spent more on wine than the lad earns in a year.

On Sunday night it showed.

Love banter me

Not the sort of behaviour expected of an SL chairman though and quite disrespectful. Echoes of Harry Enfield sketch with the brummy saying 'I have considerably more money than you'

For the sake of pedantry, I'll point out that Derek Beaumont is majority shareholder and director of rugby. Michael Norris is chairman.

Theres an awful lot of baggage amongst the championship that isnt fair airing on any forum but is the catalyst for most on field violence vs Batley, Fax and Fev. What we need are strong referees and when weve had those in GF's, Leeds in the cup last year and Salford this year, no punch ups just quick open RL.

As for cheap shots, i could make a DVD from last year alone of the Fev player Jason Crookes who twice nearly took Sam Barlows head off once in the GF at Leeds.

As many 'neutral' fans have said shock horror opposition dont like us when weve won 24 on the trot...

roll on sunday

Although not a fan of Beaumont I quite like the way Leigh are playing ATM, they have the best coach outside SL and their style of play is like a breath of fresh air to the game as other championship teams look predicably boring. I would love to see them in SL next year.

Except for the punch-up when Sarsfield had two digs at JP while he was on the floor you mean?

Very true. It's that well known law in rugby league, and in fact any sport - Dirty play can only ever be done by opponents of the team that the onlooker supports.
