Quote: LincolnDEVILSFan "Take nothing away from Leigh, but for the best part of 30mins in that second half our forwards were completely dominant. Normally that would have been enough to win most games, but other than the Fages/Evalds link we failed to get our backs into the game in their half today. Full credit to Leigh though, for all our domination, they still had the confidence to fling the ball wide and do their best stretch our defence.
For all our not wanting to blame our injuries, we saw that without Dobson or Chase we have no one to control the game. No lack of effort, just a lack of guile.'"
I think this is a great post.
Leigh's defence has been awesome for a while now and was again today, but your forwards were pushing us to our very limits. North Stand went very, very quite and everything. We could see the SL team getting on top.
But, you failed to capilatise and, admittedly, had no luck with injuries, esp' in the creative department.
Leigh play an open and almost daring game, which in the end has come up trumps in a very close encounter.
Well played, Salford - and quite unlucky in the end.
And what player Niall Evalds is. And still so young!!
