| I was there today and for all those knocking Leigh I can honestly say they out-supported, out-shouted, out-enthused, out-thought, out-coached, out-played and out-fought an absolutely diabolic Wakefield shower who are currently likened to half dead road kill waiting for the next car to run us over and finish us off, and that goes for the board, coaching staff, players and fans.

| Quote DemonUK="DemonUK"Even if we beat wire the same people will still be whinging and giving them no credit.
Just to pick up on a couple of things, of course we will have to strengthen if we get to SL but our funding will increase by 800k, so that won't be a problem.
Spegs your opening post on the Leigh board is a classic I've just made a tit of myself post, but its ok I know you'll have an answer in defence you bitter bitter person.'"
Bitter? Why would I be bitter? Leigh did exceptionally well to come back in an extremely average game contested by the 12th and 13th best teams in the Country.

| Leigh were appalling 1st half. Apparently a completion rate of below 50% which is unforgivable. Gave Wakey so much ball in our half! 2nd half we had no pressure on us as we looked dead and buried. When we smartened up and played like we usually do we got a roll on and pulled off an unlikely comeback. Great win and outnumbered Wakey at their own ground, bring on Wire

You were bitter enough to start a thread 'gloating' on our board at half time. Probably should have waited for the full 80 before making a tit of yourself

| Gotta give some credit to Leigh. It's refreshing to see a team happy to throw the ball around and take a few risks, rather than focus the majority of their play on robotic completion rates and territory like most SL clubs.
Whether this playing style would be a success in the top flight on a weekly basis is another story however it's not done them too badly so far.

| 25 wins in a row says we aren't too bad. We wouldn't expect to be top 8 if we got into SL, but we'd back ourselves to get into the top half of the Middle 8's.
We don't need to sign journeymen next season (hock hasn't set the world on fire this season!). We have a solid base to build from. if - and it's a big if- we go up this year and manage to stay there next season, the extra funding would give us the backing we need to grow and make a go of it.
Whatever happens, we will enjoy it while it lasts!

| Bizarre to read talk of Leigh's "niggle" considering Kirmond threw three punches at Kay before Kay even reacted! Forwards picking fights with wingers, not exactly the conduct to expect from a captain.
Must admit I feared the worst at 22-0, but it was all pretty similar to our game against Bradford earlier in the season.
I'll treasure the memory of seeing the joy on the face of my 7 year old's son at full time. People can talk all they like about structures, marketing and the like, but it's moments like that that make kids fall in love with our game.

| What specifically are referring to when they suggest Leigh started to get niggly in second half - Genuinely would like to know. Thought the tone was set when Hopkins made the break, which led to ankle tap on Goulden during first set of second half. Then an offload finally came off to send Kay off, and he took three knocks to the head in incident that led to the sin bins.
Thought it was more a case of Leigh running harder and more direct, while Wakefield probably thought it was job done. Then got some momentum, which was only broken temporarily by a close call with video ref.

Still not sure why Kay was sin binned

It was when Leigh started completing sets that they dominated and won the game.
