| Quote: Crosswire "Agree fatigue was a major factor for us today, also Leigh were much improved and fresh after a week off.
Think Harrison and Walker need a rest soon.
Surprised Vaughan didn’t play many minutes today and he seemed strangely subdued when he was on.'"
When did Leigh have a week off think your on crossed wires crosswire
Great game, you got a bit of luck with that last try but that’s the way it goes - we all get the odd rub at some point, as a Leigh fan more than happy with that performance and play like that and the wins will come
Think Burgess has given you guys that bit of steel and determination, you’ve certainly got the players now hopefully getting the mentallity to go with it

| Quote: just_browny "Dufty 8 - key involvements in both 2nd half tries and a lot of good metres in contact
Ashton 6 - quiet
King 8 - most effective back
Wrench 6 - was going OK until injury
Thewlis 6 - quiet but stunning involvement in winning play
Williams 6
Hayes 6
Harrison 6 (leggy)
Walker 6
Philbin 6
Nicholson 8 - industrious and great support play for the winner
Fitzgibbon 9 - terrific
Crowther 6 - quiet although suspect his stats were still good
Powell 6
Ratchford 7 (slightly unexpected appearance and made a number of key tackles in the 2nd half)
Vaughan 7 (started to look himself in the last quarter)
Bullock 6'"
Pretty fair assessment, I’d say.

Thank goodness for that.
I was questioning myself whether KR v Leigh did happen last week.

| For what it's worth, I think King played his best game yesterday since his return. It's telling that in his previous spell he was always on the receiving end of kicks to the corners but now seems to be more of a 'hard yards' back bringing it in. Credit to him running hard whilst his head resembled a pineapple!

| It reminded me of the KR game, a game where we could have lost but did enough/bounce of the ball went our way buy as the adage says the more I practice the luckier I get.
We needed to kill Leighs offloads which we didn't do enough, Thewlis should have slid across for 1st try.
Why was Hayes defending at centre and King doing the kick chase surely it makes sense the otherwise around.
Thought Vaughan quiet on return expected him to ignite the game but didn't.
Williams also quiet but we didn't get much possession in opposition 20.
Hayes kicks 1st half lacked distance but improved much better 2nd half.
Attack quite regimented 1st half, 4 forward carries Dufty on 4th and Hayes kick on 5th. They had us pegged and would quickly get to Dufty on the 4th. 2nd half much better.
Lack of zip about the play both sides of the ball. Understandably so with the tough games we have had but on another day like the Saints game you have Dufty and Williams sniffing for the offload/drop ball (although Dufty did well for his try)
Moore was quite poor at policing the ruck and offsides. Couldn't tell the video ref decisions as the sunshine made the big screen unwatchable. But it was nice to see a working scoreboard.
Fitzgibbon was immense as was Matty Nic.
Very happy with result and team spirit, would like to see that prop signing to keep momentum.

| I thought it was a damn good game ,hard fought by both teams. It was obvious from the start that the Wire Old Boys & their new friends had come to mark our card.

Let's care about us. No one else will'"
No probs - the forum caters for all sorts! (Me included.....)
I honestly do think Leigh deserved the win, BUT quite rightly there are many games where the better team doesn't win and we have been on the wrong end a fair few times. That's the way sport goes sometimes and you roll with the punches.
Don't get me wrong - I'm pleased we won (or maybe just relieved).
I think many posters on here have got it spot on when they said we looked jaded from the start - and Leigh looked quite the opposite.
I'm just wondering what next week will bring as this win has taken a lot out of them I think.
We really could do with some fresh bodies back - particularly forwards - but Currie and Musgrove are a few weeks away.

Tbf - There has been a little arrogance along the way in this thread, however, I wish you all the luck in your endeavours in the C Cup.

Is there some issue with Lam Jnr? He seemed to be in a real nark with his tea mates.

I don't know but, he certainly wasn't his normal self which stood out for all to see.
Lam Snr needs to address this asap. Also, We need Asiata back to take the captain's reins.

| My pal is a big Leighther. He saw it as I did that from 60 mins it was obvious that Wire were on top with fitness and Leigh we’re burnt out.
