FAir point but the lad oozes super league quality

Both Reynolds and Hutchison are improving a lot. I wonder if having a former half back as coach, is responsible for that?

Both half backs benefitting from the fact that there's now more than one player around them moving at a time, which wasn't the case at the start of the season. On the whole, they made the right decisions, can only think of one instance when Reynolds went on his own when he had a big overlap outside.

Kicking game wasn't tested at all yesterday because it was such a dominant performance, didn't see the London game so don't know if they were showing signs of improvement in kicking game then.

Still think both need to improve their kicking game because at the moment from the games iv seen it's been poor,can't remember that many repeat sets compared to other teams and certainly can't remember us getting a 40/20

The best stand off display I've seen from us, this season, was at Swinton when Craig Hall occupied the position!
I believe Hall is our best option at stand off particularly, when playing against good opposition when creating openings is much more difficult, Hall is real class!
The most probing and creative player for me on Sunday was Liam Hood! excellent performance and he keeps on improving !
Reynolds gives his all every game however, sometimes, it takes real class to win tight games and for me Reynolds doesn't have it.

I wholehearted agree with you. Jordan has been a consistently top performer and now his Pack colleagues are stepping up too! As the players become more familiar to each other the better our performances are becoming!
sounds like a great recipe for success

Ben still has a lot to learn but he's committed to the cause. His decision-making and kicking needs improving, mainly, but his conversion kicking has come on very well.

If he's a cleverer player come the season's business end Leigh will, again, be favourites to go up, IMO.

Both Ben and Drew Hutchison have come on in leaps and bounds, in recent weeks. Much of that will have come from the team gaining in confidence, as the victories have finally come, but I think having a half back as head coach, has also got something to do with it. Props and second rows have not always been renowned for their knowledge on the finer arts of half back play!!

It was noticeable that the intensity dropped when he was subbed off.

Hall's in a class of his own at present regardless of the position he's given or forced to do. But I think they have found a balance playing him out wide and gives Reynolds more secure options.It works.

I didn't go to Sheffield and I haven't seen the match however, Hall sounds like he was 'switched on' regardless of where he played! Reynolds too figured prominently, apparently.
Big test on Sunday against London we all know what Sammut can do, his halfback partner Api Pewhairangi will probably play on Sunday and, we know what he's capable of too!
If Reynolds and Hutchison can overshadow those two then we could be in business, and the CC


Not sure I want to get embroiled in any further Challenge Cup ties, particularly against SL teams? We have a more important agenda, top four qualification!
