If he played as good as he moaned and whinged, he would be a world beater

Really ???

I wouldn't bet against it.

Looking at today positively:-

Full marks to Swinton for some imaginative, confident rugby, played at pace.





Also, full marks to Leigh, for digging in and grinding out the result, in the second half.



Yet another highly compelling 80 minutes at LSV.

Once again, the other results didn't go our way - although they were all very close, like ours. Hopefully, next week, a win at Rochdale (usually another high scoring, close game) and we could be second.

I would still remind myself, and others, where we were before this season started!

Spot on Al.

That first half Swinton showed what pace can do and some poor tackling off us made me wonder whats happening?

That second half, Duffy obviously read them the riot act and the difference was unbelivable, aggression and tempo was greatly increased and Swinton could not live with us - Well done to Leigh

All in all a very entertaining game throughout and well done to Swinton for not just turning up but making a game of it.

Thought that number 34 for them had a cracking game (dont know who he was)

Absolutely, Alan. Reality check for me.

If someone said then that going in to our final 4 fixtures we would be fighting for second spot , then I would either of thought they meant second bottom or they had totally lost their marbles.

However, the team that was recruited in November is completely different to the team we have in August. Are you saying the expectations should be the same? I’m sure our owner wouldn’t think so and neither should the fans. Today was not acceptable. Swinton should have been put to the sword. We need to be going into the playoffs with more fight. We may not go up this season but we need to lay a platform for the coming season.

Swinton won at Toulouse, takes some doing that.

Good point well made, Budge. Still it was a heart stopper of a game and Leigh came through with the "dub" - whatever Sa'u meant by that.

Early days for Sa'u, B&B. In time he will be taught to speak proper Leyth-speak!

They also drew at Bradford recently. I reckon they'll give Featherstone a run for their money, next week.
