We're not a quality SL side this season, were woeful... Anyway, that wasn't even the point was it? I said a decent SL side would score 40+ against us... And you're not a decent SL side are you?

No Not Yet. Sorry. But we're coming to get ya.

Stop biting.

Leigh looked more comfortable spreading the ball than we do. I quite like the way they play the game - (Big Bash weekend aside, not sure what hock or Fui Fui are offering them that ANO props would add, for far less.) I hope they get a shot at SL, the way they have dominated the championship means they deserve a shot.

They need to get used to the intensity SL can throw at them, we dominated for 20 mins or so at the start of the second half, the likes of salford, widnes, hull KR, even ourselves if we end up in the middle 8's will be throwing that at them. Even Wakey areal strengthening for the 8's.

They are good, but I think they will need to be SL standard for 7 weeks to make it through. They need to get better I think.

I thought we were ok today. I've given up thinking we are a top 4 side that should be blowing a team like Leigh away. Hill, Sims, Westwood and dare I say it Asotasi were all good today - our pack won it for us.

Leigh need an improved forward pack.
Very impressed with 1-7.
With a bigger budget next year if they get a couple top class props and second rower who as real SL/NRL fitness then they'll be even more dangerous.
We're not a top side but fitness was a factor.
Having said that even though we were really tearing it up in the 2nd half we looked vulnerable every time Leigh got the ball out wide.
And Brierley is faster than anyone we've got.

Now how about him and Ridyard in the halves for us?

Bugger off.

Him yes, ridyard, meh.

Fairly sure you had him as an Academy player years ago? Signed from Leigh MR.

Just watched it, after a rollercoaster 24 hrs of life

Some great defence by Myler (but that's not what he's employed for)
Great broken play running from Ratchford. The best I've seen, since the likes of Woods or Blake. They were halves, weren't they?
Currie with two more tries, but they were "Johnny on the spot" ones. A good player with HUGE potential. I just don't want him to be another Sibbit.
FINALLY, a Man Of Steel like performance from a hooker. Pity he's been in London for a while.
My manlove for Penny remains on solid ground. Well done, Kevin.

Ratch is copping a bit of flak for his defence and positioning, I'm gonna give him a pass as he was out there on one leg and wasn't going to be playing at one point.

Great turnout by the Leigh fans, about 4k. NO SL side bring that many to the HJ. It made for a decent CC attendance (and atmosphere) for a change.

I haven't even watched it back yet, but thoughts from the day are that it was alarming how much ground Leigh were making on their sets of six & i am very surprised we managed to stick with their speed for most of the game. It was a concern that Leigh scored so many points but we did manage to outscore them. I suppose we can take heart from the way Saints in the past won much silverware with a poor defence by outscoring their opponents,we just need to do the same.

Good grief, did you really just say that?

Someone says Wire weren't at their best (which they were not) and you come out and say "oh well Leigh weren't at their best either". Deary me today.
