Can't disagree with people slagging off Leigh's discipline. It isn't as bad as some are making out though but still needs sorting. But people saying we can't/dont play rugby are miles off the mark.

We scored over 1000 points last season and are 500+ halfway through this season. Slag off our discipline (I know a lot of Leigh fans are doing so!) but saying we don't play rugby is a nonsense. We play some brilliant attacking rugby from anywhere on the field and are much better when we cut out the 'hard man' stuff we get drawn into far too often.

that's the problem, most people are accepting that leigh are a damn fine team and play some great rugby league, which is why most people are fed up of the thug tactics, as it's really not neccesary and takes away from the talent that leigh have

We are no angels and personally I would like to see the back of hock sooner rather than later. However I am seeing teams week in week out trying to wind Leigh up and slowing the game down to their level . It's the only way the part time teams can keep the score down against a full time team. I saw a lot of this today from Featherstone. Lots of high shots, mostly unpunished and lots of facials on grounded players. I don't remember a single high shot from Leigh only retaliation.

Hock however is a bloody liability. He seems to want to fight more than play and I genuinely think we would have lost at Wakefield if he had hadn't got injured.

Don't take this as a 'Leigh are super perfect' post as I dont think we are and I will be very happy and surprised if we get within 20 points of Wire in the cup game.

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Sun May 24, 2015 9:05 pm  

leigh players caused most of the scuffles today not featherstone, as i said previously, fev weren't angels by an means but most of the poop house stuff came from leigh, it was leigh players who were doing most of the winding up and head rubbing, facials in the tackles etc not fev

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Sun May 24, 2015 9:10 pm  

Self fulfilling prophecy at the minute. Everyone knows we will react so they push us and we give them exactly what they want. We need to smarten up. It will cost us eventually. Didn't today though, we didn't need to be anywhere near our best today to beat Fev.

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Sun May 24, 2015 9:10 pm  

Totally disagree. Fev are getting painted as angels here bit some of the high shots were pretty bad. The one on Emmett in the 1st half was appalling and worse than the sending off.

I think this game would have been much better if it had a stronger referee though. Hock should have been binned for the slap without a doubt, the blokes an idiot.

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Sun May 24, 2015 9:12 pm  

Genuine question - how many red cards have Leigh had so far this season and how does it compare with other teams?

It's one thing to say there's a lot of cards in Leigh games but I bet most are from the opposition.

Think Mr hock could be in a bit more trouble at Red Hall for calling the ref a d!ckhead to his face, and the ref does nothing about it for some reason, at the scuffle on 60 mins.

I think the ref actually said "don't talk to me like that". Should've been a yellow at the very least.

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Sun May 24, 2015 9:17 pm  

Hock has been a a bit of a tit since he arrived. Got to do something special to change my mind now. I wasn't at all convinced when we signed him and I am genuinely angry that a player like Tom Spencer who would run through brick walls for the team is left out for that clown. Hock needs to smarten up or p*ss off as far as i'm concerned.

At last a Leigh fan who knows what he's talking about. Hock is a problem he's overweight and unfit. and some of the players let the team down

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Sun May 24, 2015 9:20 pm  

i haven't painted fev as angels at all, but leigh fans are insisting that fev players started all the melee's ...the first minute of the game, leigh player reacts to being pushed into touch by throwing handbags and the rest joined in, yes fev were guilty of some stuff but again, i stand by that leigh players were not reacting to over exuberant neanderthals who had no right to be on the same field as their world beating superstars, they were the instigators on many occasions.
