I cant believe all the critics on here complaining about our performances every week. Yes the spectacular flowing rugby is not with us this year mainly because two the exponents of the speed stuff have either left or, long term injured!
We have played Batley,Bradford,Halifax,Dewsbury and Featherstone away and, not one of them at home yet ! and, we are currently top of the league!!
I don't know what position people watched the game from on Sunday but I was pretty central and had a good view of all that was going on. It was pretty obvious from the start Fev were targeting Hock and Childs was loving it ! If Hock swore at Childs? I bet he didn't more then me! Every game he refs us in is controversial and we did magnificent to win that game. How Fev never managed to have a player binned is beyond me? Some of the penalties he gave against us were mysterious? even the Fev fans around me were puzzled by them! After the match Neil Jukes said on the radio that many of the penalties were inconsistent and that's putting it mildly!!
I thought Rangi was superb on his return and will only get better, Fev certainly welcomed him back!! Did Gareth Hock bite Richard Whiting? because, according to Childs, he committed every other offence!
Big Raps for Adam Higson without his defensive efforts and all round play we would not have won that game! His chase and tackle on their winger is the best I've seen from a Leigh Winger since Dessie's effort to stop HKR's Hubbard in the 1982 CC game at Hull
Adam has redeemed himself after his nightmare at Bradford carry on lad my MOM !!
Our defence is top drawer lets appreciate this facet this season and hope it brings us the ultimate goal which, we badly missed out on last year!
I don't know how successful Neil Jukes will be as Leigh Coach however, looking at the League table you would have to say he's doing something right! Lets give the lad a proper chance and support him instead of insulting him by suggesting more experienced coaches could benefit him, Brian McDermott is rated highly however, he is struggling to get results and, he has some of the best talent available!
Lets have less negativity / criticism and get behind our team!!
