I was in the South Stand last night & I agree with the sound issue, it's seems to bounce about & at best its muffled

The screen looked pretty clear from my view but I assume it would be even better from across the ground, thought they would show replays of tries & some decisions but just seem to keep it on live play

was out on the lash last night and was getting updates from my son..i thought hes taking the pee with these updates..checked this morning and thought was we good or leigh down right terrible..either way weve mullered a team we play again in these play offs..

Probably a bit of both to be fair, Leigh started well (or we started poorly depending on your preference) but we did well not to concede in that period. After that, they seemed to get the wind knocked out of their sails.

Taking the game in isolation, we looked pretty good. Ratchford looked a threat on that left edge, on the right Hiku & Pomeroy did well - one really good bit of centre play to put Pomeroy in. There were offloads in the middle that were generally effective, although Clark didn't take adavantage of them as much as I would have expected.

Replicate that form for the next 9 games and we'll probably top the middle 8's. We just need to build on our confidence now - I think the fans can play a part in that. Leeds had an awful year last season, but their support on the terraces seemed exemplary, we need to follow that.

Had that been one of our first games majority would be happy and confidant on the upcoming season ! There were errors but we held our nerve and came through an early tough start and played some good rugby

Key changes for me were we scored more try's off passes than kicks to our wingers, we also looked to get te ball out wide to both wings and the cut out passes to lineham were great I believe it was Patton who set his first one up he saw something and made the call to go blind side as we were set to go the other way, ratch created the rest. Also our props were taking more early balls there was often the option for both forward and winger making a run so put doubt into the line and we didn't rely on scoots to get us up the field !

The players were clearly happy to have won and in the manor we won also will give them more of a boost than previous wins where we stumbled over the line it was the perfect win before we face Wigan next week back up this win with one over Wigan and hopefully dent their confidence and send them into the middle8s is now our best outcome for the season now!

As mentioned we are where we are and now have to try and get behind the team and do everything in our power to retain super league status for next year if that's finishing in super8s or not, winning the mpg or avoiding it the analysis of the season and changes can now be done when year is over !!



Cut out the silly penalties and we can at least finish the year on a good run !!

TS prefers the pivotal as a back at fb instead of a forward at 13. Sometimes we have both with 2017 bang average Westerman if you waht to call him as a ball controller.

Watched the video of the scores. The Lineham tries where as good as we've seen this season with Ratchford prominent. It's good to see some tries created by good handling as opposed to the kick. Tom Lineham will be dead chuffed with his finishing.

Sorry to disappoint you, but you can't send us into the middle 8s.

Unfortunately true, although I'm hoping for a proper game next week than some half baked attempt.

It would be good for us to try and get a run going despite our points going to zero and there's always a potential bonus of keeping you guys a further two points away from 4th and a late tilt at a GF

Can't understand why some of you guys are still pessimistic about the outcome of the middle 8's. You stuck 50 past us, so how do you think we Leigh fans feel about our chances?

I thought we were very poor - but I guess you play as well as you are allowed to, and your enthusiasm levels were way above ours. I too have seen a re-run of the tries, and have to agree that they were top-notch - especially Lineham's.

Hope so - see you in the 8's and, fingers crossed, in SL next season.

I really hope that this wins gives us the confidence to go on and play to our potential in the middle 8’s. We need to go out there, play like we care, put this relegation thing to bed and look forward to next season.

I don’t think anyone enjoys seeing the team get beat like it has done this season… Smith, for all the flak he has been given, is also probably hurting as much as the fans… His professional pride must have took one hell of a beating this season.

Maybe he can get some new blood in around him coaching wise, get some new players in and we can start to improve again…. I certainly needs to happen if he is to stay in charge

Only seen the highlights, but that was the sort of play I expected t see at the start of the season, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Harking back to the "Super League Every Minute Matters" thing from a few years ago, its actually quite apt for our game with Wigan - each clubs needing the points albeit for differing reasons, but in both cases to try to salvage a poor season.

Agreed and with a couple of regular games to go there will be a few teams still thinking they have a chance of 4th after the split
