Att: 3123

Score: Leigh 36 Worky 12

Think Reynolds will play hooker with Hood. Spencer and Riddy to miss out

Has Riddy lost his weight yet? I suppose we won't see him again until he hits those targets set by the coaching team.

Be a bit odd tro send Tom to Oldham and get him match fit and then not play him? How about a rest for Weston (I think he's played in all games?) or Maitua?

I'd be tempted to leave Ridy out again today. Let Burns get some more experience playing with us for what should be an easier game before bringing a well rested Ridy back for London away.

Didn't go today were we any better or just as bad as fev game.?

Well, that was entertaining for a large portion of the time...for a change.

Riddy as interchange for Reynolds at hooker it seemed, but Burns disappeared (a fair few injuries/concussion checks so lost track) and Riddy went back to what he knows best and we looked very good in attack.

Still some brainfarts but defence was good mostly and we played the conditions better in the over the 80 minutes.

Best players for me were Smith, Reynolds, Worthington stood out and Riddy but thought everyone played a part. AJ played well and though much maligned this season (based probably on excellent seasons previously) I though Armstrong and Kay went well.

Praise for Worky for playing fairly well despite the conditions and credit to the fans in the North Stand for turning up...oh and is seems mandatory....Summat...yada yada, wish we had him...yada yada.

Been saying since we last played them that we might not beat London, I'm still not convinced we will but it is certainly the big game now.

Drinkwater MOM for me controlled everything down our left today with a great kicking game. Riddy came on at hooker and didn't look out of place, reverting to half back when burns went off injured. Overheard him and his family after the game, he is not happy about the way he's been treated over the fact he's not signed up for next year. Looks like the end of a beautiful relationship.

Thought Workington played the game in an excellent spirit - no timewasting or 'iffy' tactics. The referee also allowed us to play - that's twice we've had him, and twice we've been allowed to play.

Interesting fact - we changed goal kickers once again, and Lee Smith kicked 9 out of 9, in far from ideal conditions. So far this season, Lee has kicked 21 out of 21 - not bad for someone who has been behind Ridyard, Reynolds, Burns, and Drinkwater in the goal kicking pecking order!

My information was he has had a contract on the table since the end of May with a substantial increase but he has also been linked to Toronto. I assume if he signs the contract he is signed up. If he hasn'the that would be why he isn't signed up

Solid performance today.

54pts in those conditions is impressive. Lee Smith 9/9 with the boot, a lot of them from far out wide.

To rack up 9 tries in poor conditions with a greasy ball and no recognised hooker in the side isn't bad going at all.

Game lacked a bit of intensity and maybe we played in 2nd gear for most of the match but we controlled things well, stayed disciplined and gave our points difference another big boost.

Next week will be a much bigger test but with Micky Higham back I expect us to go up a level as we usually do when he plays.

No Micky, No party!

Alan, surely (even if Riddy starts a game...which he will soon hopefully) Lee Smith has to be our No. 1 goalkicker !! (Guess we've quite a few now)

Where do we play him once Greg is fit tho is the question.

Undoubtably deserves a place in the starting 13, wing or maybe centre?
