Well we were great in the first half and not very good in the second! We made some poor decisions and they should have never been allowed to get that close at the end - although if they hadn't we wouldn't have had Menzie's last minute try - wild celebrations whilst some 89 year old Leigh fan was asking how many fans we'd take to the final!! Obsessed!!

No complaints from any Leythers I have spoken to.

After taking 2 hours to get from Sheff to Leigh (40 minutes sat on Mottram Moor!) you guys were 18 - 0 up when I arrived and so I think we won 22 -14!!!!

Seriously you took your chances well, dominated the ruck and deserved the win even though we could have pinched it at the end.

We need to brush ourselves down, get the injured patched up and start to add a bit more depth for next year.

You? Go and give Fev a game and do the Championship proud.

Yours in sport,

Me after 70 mins, calmness personified, "they've scored two tries in 70 mins, they're not going to score three in ten"

Me after 75 mins, "we've blown it."

Funny old game!

Good job I like you Charlie, hope you'll have one foot in Sheffield's camp on Sunday at least.

The taxi has gone from Halifax to Warrington, with a detour via Leigh!

Charlie WAS WRONG no sour grapes from me , you deserved to win we cant give teams like you an 18 point start and expect to win , though we nearly did , i was on the edge of my seat , late on thinking we Can win this , but it wasnt meant to be .

Paul Rowley played the hand he had , no complaints we needed a couple of big forwards on the bench , but didnt have them due to injury , good luck in the Final , CHARLIE WILL RETURN NEXT SEASON ,funny enough i like Don Valley , have a good close season , and to you ESO , have a good Christmas and New Year , see ya next year . .

Cheers Charlie and the other gracious Leythers we met last night

I'm still laughing how we got told to sit down whilst celebrating a try, yet the entire stand is allowed to stand up for 10 minutes at half time.

He threatened to chuck me out at half time!



Cheers Charlie.

Well done Sheffield.

Mind you had I been reffing.

Good luck a week Sunday. I will be there too.

there wont be 5,000 on on sunday week now ,and if the Eagles spend as much time slowing the game down and wasting time as they did last night there won't be much action either. good luck Featherstone.
