Russell got us out of jail today, we'd gone in the second half, but Russell turned it with 3 or 4 scoots that got field position from within our own 20.

That's an astonishing view point on today's game. ..... matty Russell won it

He has no idea in defence. ...(and Hiku isn't great either Btw.)

But we won that game because the Leigh fullback dropped a Kevin brown high kick and Chris Hill scored in the following set. That got us level.
Then a Kevin Brown 40 20 got us downtown and a penalty in that next set saw the fans clamour to take the two. .....which we did. ....

Pathetic all round.

This game highlighted why Dec Patton gets stick. ......totally and absolutely anonymous. .....

But we are a shambles of a team and despite Tony Smith saying we don't want to be in the qualifiers again. .....with this set of players and a couple of new faces but the same coaching Set up.....we'll be down here again next season.

Agreed biscuit, i don't know how people can see Russell as the saviour. For Leigh's first he flew out of the line, completely misread it and conceded a try on his wing. This isn't the first time he's done this. So he made a few yards against a struggling Leigh side. Fact is, he won't make that many yard's against a good team but he will still have pis s poor defence, hence why we are in the position we are in.

I'll also ask if anyone has ever seen anything good come from the Jack Hughes cut in as we wing the ball right? As soon as he catches and not so much steps, but arcs inside, all the play is shut down and the momentum lost.

As someone said before, we won this game through mistakes, not because Russell's scoot game tore Leigh apart.

We won because Leigh had some unkind errors, not exactly forced errors. The stuff from speculative kicks because we have zero idea how to break them down with ball in had.
We won against the play 2 weeks running and that's all I can take from it. I just wish we could forfeit the remaining games and pee off this next year....and I don't want to see a frigging reserve team friendly at Xmas either. I've had enough mediocrity.

A disappointing game despite Leigh's best efforts, as I thought they played the better rugby for large chunks of the game, which is probably not that difficult. I wasn't too happy with Gidley playing for and getting the penalty passing into a prone opponent desperate stuff indeed.

The game, like the season is best forgotten as quickly as possible

I don't like that either! Bizarrely, you then got the penalty when our dummy half deliberately passed the ball into your defender, who was about 5 yards behind the ptb!

There is probably a logical explanation for that inconsistency, but I've not fathomed it yet!

Fortunately I have forgotten all about yesterdays game. Mrs Winslade said I made a trip to the hypnotist yesterday and had it erased from my mind before it could do any lasting damage. Did anybody win the crossbar challenge ?

Maybe somebody could clear something up for me , about 5 minutes from the end Wire knocked on about 30 yards out from the sticks in front of us , it appeared to me that a Wire player then kicked the ball back towards his own players , one of whom then dropped on it

If the ball goes forward and is the touched by a colleague isn't it offside and a penalty ?

Or was it a Leigh player who kicked it ?

I remember seeing a Leigh player collect a ball off a Leigh player & give us a penalty for offside .I think maybe he hadn't seen that your player had kicked it .

It was in the first half (rightly so) when McNally dropped it!

My point is more why you got the penalty in the first incident. The Leigh player was lying prone, and Gidley had no need whatsoever to hit him with it - there wasn't a Warrington player around to take that pass, if it had missed the Leigh player.

And, in the second incident, what was Gidley doing so far offside?

No Steve, I didn't mean that. I meant that it was ruled offside in a similar incident in the first half when McNally misjudged a kick, stuck his foot out and a team mate standing in front of him dropped on the ball.
