Quote: TV BOY "Ian that was the worst game of SL that I have seen and it makes them look like Championship 2 compared to the NRL.
Wakey do not play as a team and that is their worst fault. I don't think that Smith and the lad who came from Leeds - the hooker - are worth their shirt. Their players are going down with injuries all the time and that tells me that some don't want to play. I like to see players who miss tackles get up and run to get back in the line. Not lay on the floor feigning hurt, then when the try is disallowed, getting up. I'm sure PR would not stand for that. I see Lee Gaskel was there in their coaches box tonight. Well they could do with him now and I think that Lee would be the player to bring them to a mid table team. They need a real leader now or they will fold. We would have thumped Wigan tonight.'"
To be honest I’ve been disappointed with most SL games this season, up until last weekend when the big guns played one another it has been very poor in the main.
It’s as if the SL coaches have such strict and set game plans, defensive patterns etc that they just seem to cancel one another out.
It made me laugh watching the Salford game on SKY to hear O’Connor say something along the lines of “Leigh are difficult to play against, you just don’t know what they are going to do, because they don’t know!”
And although I disagree with him to a certain extent as I do think Rowley and the lads do know what we’re doing, in comparison to SL I can understand why he made the comment as most plays in SL are just a simple set, a good kick, field position and look to score when in their 20, were as our attitude is how do we score from here, regardless of field position.
Statler and Waldorf who stand behind me in the North Stand were in overdrive when Armstrong threw the pass to Platt, I said “But that’s the way we play, great isn’t it?”
