No, Later on in the year.

It's not about being arrogant, confidence and a winning attitude, is a better approach to success. [sizeNOT[/size assumptions.

NEVER easy at Batley, we (Leigh) should know !

IMHO I think the signing of GH will be an excellent signing. I also don't think that nobody else wanted him. Time will surely tell. But i think Leigh have got him at the right time, and with the family culture at Leigh, it will do him a world of good and bring the best out of him, and he will prove what a world class player he his.

Got out of jail with that one

I suppose, trying to find something positive to say, we found a way to win when it looked for all money that we were staring down the barrel of defeat. And its not so long ago that you wouldn't have thought we would have the mental strength to that.

Having said that, there were some worrying aspects. Siejka was very poor today. He offered nothing, literally nothing, on attack and completely failed to dominate the game like you need from a scrum half. We need more of a plan than relying on a bit of magic from Gaskell, because when he gets shut down like he was for large parts of today, we don't look like creating anything.

Bringing back Siejka and putting Mullaney back to full back made us look a LOT less potent than last week.

And why, when we had three props on the bench, did Sidlow play for so long? Anyone notice that Fleming, who had only been on the field about five minutes, got taken off after he let Batley score a soft try. And Lauaki only did about 10 minutes again. We can't keep flogging Sidlow and Clough or they'll be knackered by the time it gets to the business end of the season.

Fair play to Batley, they played really well and will probably feel they've had their pocket picked today

Today's crowd 2223. What a fiddle. At least double that. 3500 Bulls there. On todays game,we got lucky. Referee was appalling in second half. Our attacking play was too slow. Batley treated it like a cup tie, we took the game too easily. We woke up just in time.

Only thing I can think it's either a fiddle or they haven't counted the tickets the bulls had the print themselves yet. I'm sure there chairman will want to get it into the press

Referee Stokes is the worst ref in the business. We had him at Leigh v Broncos and i swear i will not attend a another game when he is in charge.

Lowes said on the radio that he took off the players he believed were cuplable for their "soft tries".

I wonder how much we have paid Lauaki per minute played so far?

Shaw deserves huge credit for nailing that conversion. I very much doubt we would have got the subsequent try if that hadn't gone over.

You would have thought we had beaten Leeds at the end. Very entertaining, if not always high on quality, and a terrific effort by Batley.

Well, getting the win was a relief. I think that the better team lost today. It does show we can still get a result when we play badly. We will be better with Purtell and Baille in the centres and I think Davis will be huge for us when he's fit. I really think that the player we need back is Addy. At the moment everything goes through Gaskell, Addy can offer short passes and has a kicking game to add to Gaskell. As a previous poster mentione Siejka is a waste of a shirt. I was on the terrace end we were playing to in the first half and he was clueless with the ball. He either shipped it straight to Gaskell or drove it in. He adds nothing and it means Mullaney wasn't up there in the thick of it. Mullaney, Gaskell and Addy will offer real quality options I think. On a positive note I thought Jay Pitts played well and was one of our best forwards. He plays way above his weight. I would not like to be in the changing room with Lowes though.

You sound just like a Wigan/Salford/Widnes fan

And Leigh.

Let's give Siejka a chance before we make him chief scapegoat when Walker is out. He's only just gone 23 so he's still fairly inexperienced and will still be finding his feet within our setup. If he going to be the key player who will lead us back into SL? Probably not but with time he might well strike up a complimentary partnership alongside Gaskell.
