| Well there’s been plenty of doom and gloom on here, to be honest I thought we weren’t far off and the errors really did cost us. I’ll watch it back today and see if what looked contentious tries for Leigh were or weren’t, I’m guessing they were OK as they’ve not been mentioned but didn’t look it from behind the posts. Hopefully if we play like we did and cut the mistakes Worky will be the start of a winning tun.

| I couldn`t make it to watch due to a pre-booked holiday. Watched it on tv this morning. Leigh did exactly what I expected from a full time team made up of a set of big athletes. We competed pretty well and has been said most weeks simple errors cost us. I think back to the Calland/Hall era. We played exciting rugby then and I hope that we continue to do so this season. The style Grix has us playing is far more entertaining than latterly played and most teams in The Championship will not be able to cope with it especially now Woody is back. We have the best set of half backs for a while who can play and defend. Perhaps a big forward is missing, no doubt Grix intended that to be the unfortunate Brad Knowles.
I am still confident that we will put some wins under the belt and enjoy the rugby while we do.

| Quote gizempo="gizempo"We don’t have the big players to compete with the likes of Leigh so we have to do something different; we were not going to beat them in a forward battle. But I’m not sure you can blame a coach for the dropped balls or poor PTB’s. I once recall Malcolm Reilly responding to a heckling fan at Thrum Hall to the effect “what you want me to do, run on and catch the *****ng ball for them?!”. A couple of the missed PTB’s were at a crucial time in the 2nd half (Tangata and Walmsley) but I thought they could have gone the either way with defenders interfering to stop us getting a quick play – but defenders get the benefit now. As for not getting the best out of his players, if anyone is suggesting there was a lack of effort, then they were watching the wrong game.'"
Just in that regard, Tangata has been done for incorrect play the balls multiple times this season to which Grix has acknowledged so to me that is a coaching issue. I don't see any lack of effort though like you mention, I just think its a case of been outclassed.

I don't think we were outclassed, beaten by the better team on the night yes, but not hammered. I look forward to the play offs.

| no mention of ashworth and mason Out of both ashworth stood out for me and would have him back in the team.
I enjoyed the game some of the players seemed dissapointed to come up short but the effort was there. I predict we will win 9 out of the next 10 games. Optimistic yes but think some one could be on the recieving end of thrashing hope its this sunday

| We came up short again. Thought we had narrowed the gap with the signings . On this evidence we have some catching up to do. Didn't think the lads from Huddersfield improved our side. Morris and Co know the calls and are familiar with our plays.
Think Leigh could of gone up a gear if needed. There forwards really got on top .
On this evidence will be happy to finish 6.

Agreed until the last sentence.

| When all is said and done i will still be at workington on sunday supporting the club. The point i am making is by not having the players to go through sides up the middle which simon as made the decision not to we are limiting our ways of beating the opposition. This was not just a issue against leigh it as been one for some time which i think should of been addressed by now. By playing the way we are even in dry conditions we will make a fair few errors which i don't mind as long as we are winning. It is not a straight choice between 5 drives and a kick or throwing the ball about its about having a well balanced attack which will make us harder to beat but i don't see that happening.

| Quote Greg Florimos Boots="Greg Florimos Boots"I think a lot of the negativitity is probably down to the realisation that we are further away this season than we were last season despite bringing a load of players in. Im still very confident that we will get 3rd or 4th but does it matter? Grix's interview had me thinking that it probably would not even be worth turning up last night, surely fans need to hear that going in to a game like last night you expect the players to be up for it and to raise their game playing one of the best in the division. He really did not give off that impression.
[uWith regards the promotion race I had Fev as favs but the last games we have played I might just have Leigh edging it which I actually think would be a shame as Leigh will go up and have a complete rebuild and likely come back down where as I think Fev have the better chance of actually staying up.[/u The thing that will worry Leigh though and was very much the case in the Bradford game as well and I think PH mentions it, Leigh totally dominated the game last night but only managed to win by 12 points, if Mcdonald picked up an injury or their pack has an off day they are really going to struggle to score points as they have very little flair and its all brute force at the moment. It is working though and they will have time to address those issues before they play in the final.'"
That's a weird point, how do you work that out?

'"
How many quota players you got? How many of the ones that perform well will you be able to keep? Aren't most of your players on 1 year contracts? Fev have a pretty settled squad, Leigh don't have that benefit so in my opinion you will have more mercinaries just out to get the biggest pay check they can get without very little affiliation to Leigh.

If Fev get promoted, they will have to recruit heavily too in order to compete, hence they will become unsettled just the same.
