Leigh look good and are now my favs to win the league. Look very good going forwards and have scored loads in the mickey mouse cup as well. I do think the weakness is in defence and think they may struggle when put under pressure. Top 3 this year at least this year.
Fev were missing a few but looked poor. Poor ball control and looked void of ideas. They will not be in the top 3 this year. They looked lost and had no answers and did not put leigh under any pressure. A tough few games ahead and think more points lost.
Fax have the potential to beat leigh quite essily depending how they turn up. Fev should be a win though mentally Fev will want revenge..

With 6 first choices forrads out, then losing both centres within ten mins and spears for the whole of the 2nd half and williams playing on with a knock - can you advise Daryl Powell how we could have built up any pressure from anywhere on the park???? It's likely that there will be more points lost - but after seeing 80 mins rugby of a severely depleted side v the bookies favs - you can make that conclusion??? Perhaps you're correct! I just think it's way too early to make that point.  |

Bang on Norman! An astute and succinct comment!

Yes a few players missing, but failing to keep hold of the ball to complete the sets of 6 and put a good kick in is not an excuse. The players looked clueless and lacked a leader and direction. It was always going to be tough but when your players cant do the basics of Catching a ball and Tackling then you are going to get beat. The players did not look fired up at all. You do not need to be a Quality Championship player to put some big hits or ruffle Leigh up a bit in the tackle or even catch the ball. Wet and cold conditions. Very few high bombs and testing wingers and Fullback. No small nippy players working of a quick Play the ball etc. I just saw the game that Fev did not look up for it at all and looked Direction and Ideas. Fev were lucky it was not more to be honest

If fevs defence wasn't so good in the first half the score would have been a heck of a lot more. |

That makes a change from last season then when Fev had all the luck with injuries. And I am not sure about Leigh being the favs either I think the bookies have it wrong there.

Neither do i , fev and fax are still the strongest teams in the division.
Maybe not by as much as last season though.
I cant work out whats going on at barrow, they were pretty rubbish last season and have had a slow start this season, could it be that these players are to old now.

No.
Old players win Championships.
However, old players playing for Dessie end up with tinnitus and dementia. |

You didn't have an old squad last season did you? I thought the average age of your squad halved when stanley left or was it still a team full of grandads 
Your probably right about dessie, If he was on my books i'd charge him double for my services just for the potential grief i could get. |

Because the last opportunity to see either team play in a proper game before yesterday was in the major final of our competition, something which Widnes and Leigh missed out on by some considerable margin.
Widnes fans talk the talk but crawl the walk.

Remind me where Widnes have finished in the past 3 years? A average Championship team that cant get near to winning a League or Grand Final as they are not good enough. Least we can laugh at Widnes getting walloped each week in SL while Fax keep reaching Grand Finals and winning them
