Why is our best attacking player feeding the scrums in good attacking positions it happened 3 times Gaskell feeding with Addy stood out at receiver.

Any news on Sidlow's injury? The comeback is made even more remarkable when you realise that Sidlow was off injured for all of it!

As most have already said, we were anonymous for 3 quarters of that game. Played well for 15 mins against a really good side and managed to salvage some points.

Any news on the Sidlow injury?

If I didn't know that everyone around me in the stand had been negative and wingeing until 10 mins to go, I'd think you'd been sitting behind us this afternoon!

Broken bone in his hand he reckons

Our first match against one of the 3 other full time teams.
Their forwards bullied ours for 65 minutes. Patterson at number 6 was an astute selection and Higham is still a class act. Gaskell was quiet for that first 65 precisely because Paterson and others were disciplined in preventing him from cutting loose - and they targeted his position in the defensive line. And Addy was nowhere near as bad as some on here are saying. Clark and Haggerty are good additions.
Leigh tired and after our 3rd try they began to doubt. The Bulls began to believe as they sensed Leigh were becoming fragile. Gaskell was given more room and took advantage. He was also encouraging all the team.
Of course that display was far from perfect but there was plenty of character and collective spirit. You could argue we were fitter- a good sign.
Roll on Blackpool.

Can't believe I buggered off after an hour having seen enough

Well done on the astonishing comeback, after being pretty well controlled by us for 65 minutes. Still, as they say, it's an 80 minute game, and I'm relieved there weren't another couple of minutes left, after you tied the scores!

As a Leigh fan, I was actually pleased with our performance - well, most of it anyway . For the past three games we have been largely unconvincing and have never got to grips with a game. Those first 65 minutes were a revelation, after what had gone before. Just like last season, it's all 'ifs and buts' at this stage, but I'd like to think that, once we get some of McNally, Armstrong, Tonga, Kay, Ridyard and Chase back on the pitch, our backs may tighten up in defence, and take advantage of the position our forwards are gaining for them.

Of course, it's doubtful if any of those guys could have improved on those 65 minutes!

One final thought, wasn't it refreshing to see two sides concentrating on the rugby, rather than endure 80 minutes like our first meeting last season?

Roger, do us a favour, if you are going to Blackpool - and stay for 80 minutes!

O.k, a Leigh fans perspective.

Firstly, Ferocious Ardvark is in the main talking a load of old [iBo Lax[/i especially where the "energy" comments are made.
Leigh were not out of energy, they were found wanting in the backs, which prior to the game every Leigh fan knew would happen.
All your tries *bar 1 in 2nd half & the dropped ball interception in the 1st half were scored at the corner flag, partly because Adam Higson is not IMHO a winger. How many were scored in Higsons corner ?

I said before the game that if Caro got a yard or 2 on our wing then he would walk 'em in.

When Bulls opened up & started to chance it in the last 20 minutes our defence also dropped back & held off tackles where previously we had pressed the tackle with good line speed & solid defence.

Our pack was completely dominant & Bulls looked very 2nd rate for the first 50 > 60 minutes, Higham, Hansen & Hopkins destroyed your forward line, along with Patterson *playing out of position*.

Somebody said something like "most Leigh fans view it as a point gained * utter $H!T€ *, just walking out of the ground you could hear tens of fans saying "can't believe we threw it away", & this is true, a complete capitulation by Leigh in that last 20, take nothing away from Bradford, you deserved the draw, you played very well in the backs for 20 minutes, but prior to that you were less than poor.

There has to be something wrong with the Leigh players mindset to throw away that lead, most fans at 6 - 32 thought we would go on to score 50, not monumentally balls it all up so spectacularly.

As good as it got for Leigh fans it was equalled by the ridiculous soft tries late on, a little hand off & a step & Higson was done every time.

No excuses, we were great, you were carp, then we were carp & you were better.

I really don't know where that leaves either team.

Think it leaves us both in the championship next year
