Have they added more to the side or, with their are they playing are they not?

definitely a positive - no question.

Negative minus Blythe..... the others didn't want to know as they as currently getting in their first team squads

Thats what I'm thinking.

The club have a massive job on their hands now.

grand final appearance is needed now, and hinderence because they are all now used to better players around them, especially mitchell.

In my opinion this result could be very damaging in more ways than one

We was taklking about this during game. I am unsure about these DC's, as you can accept injuries and suspensions but another club deciding what your team is going to be is just plain strange, and mnust be difficult to work with because of uncertainty.

They have given us a false position and a false sense of grandure and with Robbie Pauls early season form have made Millward the Messiah despite not really doing much.

We were no better tonight than last season and lacked any ideas near the line and made Batleys defence look good.

Err sorry, but Batley's defence didn't just look good, it was outstanding.

it can't be good knowing that you've lost your place to a player (for a big game) that hasn't played for us recently. Mitchell & McCarthy I would not have picked, hardly regulars.

I'm not sure who you could of played tonight at scrum half , but Robbie Paul should not of played ,nowhere near fit enough or confident about his injury to be on the pitch .

I still think that the GF is a realistic traget for you , as it is for anybody who makes the 6 . This league is very very even and if you are not 100% at the races on any given day you will lose .

The Vicar

the problem is if you dont use the dc and go with ur own players now, is that they ave been playing res rugby and will take a month to get upto speed with first team rugby and the fans will give them grief which will knock ther confidence. the likes of mort,durbin, ainscough ( not included nash,meekin as they ave been injured ) shud ave been given more game time over the dc as for as im concerned thers no differance than wen clubs wer bringin over rated aussies in as a quick fix

The problem is your dual registered players are only average. Widnes with Ainscough, Farrell and Davies have the better deal.

Please do not take this the wrong way but tell me which player are you referring to?

I thought our half backs strugggled infact it shows you should not be selected if you are not 100 % fit.

We played badly. Batley were solid and too many of our players had bad games. Goulden and Taylor getting knocks early doors did not help. We had not one player tonight who played to their potential.

One or two of our lads were dire. Batley were better all across the park. Oh and less than 2000 Leythers for this game is even worse than the display we saw tonight.

We were shocking last week.Tonight it was the same. Ah well it happens although I am not a happy bunny to put it mildly.

Excuse Rogues Gallery he is the most biased wiganer ever to grace these message boards and although i don't fully agree with his point their is an element of truth in it.
Bringing in 4 'young' dual contract players who have played a handfull of full games in super league between them is a risk if you ask me. The championship is a big step up from Academy / reserves which is what the majority of these wire kids have been playing generally.
Rogues rightly stated that they are not what you would call 'gamebreakers' either.
Have seen a bit of Ainscough and i do like him, but talk about thick as pig....he has the brains of a small rodent. Farrell I like him too and Davies not bad either.
Relying on a bunch of young kids will be the downfall of Leigh
