Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr "Vegetable Charlie and My God I am getting to owd for January Friday night Rugby League. Only just thawed out. Hey the lads made it a pleasant evening for me.
Carl Hall despite one glaring error , trying to feed Dawason is a pretty accomplished FB. Comfortable in defence and under a high ball. Able to attack at pace. A real asset and my Leigh MOM.
I am right in thinking this is only Drew Hutchisons second game of Rugby League in more than 12 months? When this lad is running with 2 hands on the ball, whoever the opposition is they are going to be nervous. Deft and pin point grubber for Hall to touch down. He is gonna have field days at this level with 5 or 6 games behind him.
Not everyone's cup of tea but I like young Jack Owen on the wing. Strong and powerful. A lesser winger would have been banged in to row z trying to squeeze his try into the corner. Not him, great finish. Not yet seen him make any mistake in 2 games. Not even positionally.
Young Nathan Mason caught the eye, big lad and caused St.Helens problems with agressive running. As did Lorne Patrick as well.
The young Dezaria continued his impressive start. This lad is shouting 'I want a Leigh Shirt on next week' and we will get success off his off loads. A promising youngster indeed.
Jordan Thompson was solid and a leader with lots of good talk, pepping up the young players with encouraging words here and there. He is a good aquisition for us.
My big mucker Mr Acton led the charge commendably earning good yardage, despite conceding the knock on that led to Barba opening the scoring. He did not play long minutes but he played them well and effectively.
I do hope young Ben Reynolds is going to grab this opportunity by the scruff of the neck this year. A couple of plays did not come off and he appeared to take wrong options at times but he showed the confidence to try and execute something. I like that and he is still learning how to play with young Hutchison.
Oh and Ben Barba is just different gravy. He should have been snottered at least twice but He was on another level at times.
Overall I walked, well more shuffled, off feeling the future is bright. UP THE COMICS !'"
Good overall review of last night's game, the sky is the limit for this Squad, I'm very excited by our recuitment,and not being big headed or over confident, I can't see us losing a game this season,although a defeat will probably come somewhere unexpected.
This Squad is better than last year for me,and when the dry grounds arrive it should be great rugby to watch, I can't wait for next week, to put the Wolfpack in their place.As you say Harold,UP THE COMICS.
