Thought Smith was very good tonight - all over the pitch and two unreadable passes, one of which Puletua scored from. Very much looking forward to watching him this season as well as so many of the others....! Unprecedented riches!!!

Thought Johnson was superb.Very dangerous going forward and always seemed to make yards coming out of defence.Wasnt tested at all under the bomb so still a question mark over that but overall we could have a real diamond in this lad.
Tasi was fantastic in the forwards.He will be a real handful this year.With the likes of Hock,Hansen,Rapira and Sau still to come into the team things are looking very promising.There is a lot more strength in depth than a lot of other fans think.

Tasi was the biggest plus,although there were a few very good first impressions

Tasi in my opinion looked very strong,however I hope and believe that the two Walne brothers will make a noticeable impact this year. Theo looked tonight that he has ' aged a bit more' and again hopefully will make a telling contribution this season. I was really impressed with Mullaney at full back,he did look a much better bet than that non tackling Aussie that we had called Patten. Sorry to say That Danny Williams looks short of pace in this team,and defensively he has shortcomings.
My main hope is that the wealth of class and experience that we now have enables our younger lads to improve,and win games for The Red Devils.

I thought Adrian Morley demonstrated that he is the consummate professional by putting in that level of performance,in those conditions,against that opposition,when there was no need to bearing in mkind his standing and experience in the game.I do hope he is allowed to come from the bench,against Wakefield,at home,to receive the tumultuous applause and reception he should receive - Wakefield may not be at full strength,nor have they sold that many season tickets as suggested earlier,elsewhere rlSourcerl - They don't seem to have high aspirations and they play Bradford the following Thursday.
Impressed with 'Slammer' Lama,Greg Johnson and others already mentioned but especially impressed by Mullaney.
I thought the ball an' all tackle by Niall Evalds,late in the game,was a masterful piece of play.
The better and harder these so-called young 'uns train and play the better the rest will have to be.

Looks as though the forward passes are here to stay for 2014.I am not part of the Leigh love-in.

Think you are being harsh there on Meli who looks THE big centre we have been looking for since Junior Langi

Interesting take. I thought Morley was solid but nothing more. Was much better forwards in both teams

i dont expect Morley to be ripping up trees this season needs to be the figure head / leader and help nurture the young kids coming though

Thought Tasi was head and shoulders best player on park. Can't really judge after one game but think he will prove to be our main meter maker this season. Johnson looked good, did he jump over someone in that try, I couldn't really see as people were getting to there feet. Thought Leigh roughed him up abit with the high shots, maybe some previous from last season? Our left dude defence looked ok with Meli / Johnson, bit worried by our right side both Gleeson and Williams looked off the pace as well as Walton later on, it was obvious Leigh were attacking that side. As I say won't judge as rust is expected with first game and appalling conditions. Mullaney did ok for me, would of like to see him attack more rather than drop offs, also seems slow getting to the 40/20 attempt in 1st half. Smith done ok too, couple passes were class, think one led to a TP try? TP also impresses for me. Excited for the season.

Forgot to add, what were people's opinions off the referee? Seemed to kill us on the penalty count. We didn't received the ball for first 3 sets on the back of them. They seem to get told start of each season which area to clamp down on. Most our penalties against were for round the ruck, interference and holding down?

What confused me he gave a penalty against Meli for a push on Littler then when Littler returned the favour we got nothing? Leigh fans didn't seem happy with Williams try in far corner, impossible for us to see if he grounded it. The interception off the scrum too, how far offside must of he been to get up there that quickly.

Looked to be a try either side from forward passes. Think he was poor but it was probably even

Just to make myself a bit more clear.It wasn't the performance that won my admiration;it was the fact that he was demonstrating such enthusiasm for such a game in such conditions against opponents from a lower division.
For example,last season Sam Tomkins did not participate in any pre-season games.His first game was the first Super League fixture,against Salford,where he scored a hat trick.
Jamie Peacock has not started a pre-season game this year,either against Super League opposition or against lower league opposition.
That was the point I was trying to get across.

He got it down mate, it just squirted out when it hit the deck. I was stood 20 odd yards away and got a really good view of it.

FWIW, Leigh fans down tend to be happy about anything!

Apologies, 100% agree with that
