The difference was most certainly in the kicking game, we matched them defensively but they just put us back in out 25 every time they got a kick away where as our response to that was putting it right down the throat of the full back.

we work on getting some pressure on their kicker and getting Riddy a bit of protection when its his turn with the boot and there is no reason we cant beat them up the hill in the semi's.

Saxton was a menace all night limping around the pitch for them.

Goulden put a massive stint in once again, and I cant help but notice that Riddy comes alive once Brierly takes to the field.

Bring it on.........I BeLEIGHve

Perfect article?? Dunno about that Derek. Just better than Leigh in both those departments on friday night.
I also subscribe to the view that Friday's result will have no bearing whatsoever on other games between our clubs this season.

I hope not, but Featherstone were in ominous form on Friday, and set down a marker. Having said that, I thought Leigh did well to stick with them. The trick now, for Leigh, is to not only stick with them, but put them under more pressure. Personally, I think that might be a big ask, coming just four days after what's sure to be another tough one, at Batley, next weekend.

Fair assessment in my view

Nah - that'll be the current W***n team!!

We did match them for long periods of the cup game though
