Im very Afraid, we have just struggled to beat ,the weakest team we will play all season, apart from the Challenge Cup amatuers,and now im afraid we could struggle again on Sunday to win, i dont think Basil will put up with these performances for long, its been a while since i saw a Leigh Head Coach, on the touchline, giving instrutions.

Basil is NO FOOL, he will see the mediocrity, in some of our players and ACT soon, Armistead, aint up to it, people tell me how good Jimmy Taylors defence is, and i agree ,textbook tackler, but we can keep him on when we are defending and take him off when we are attacking, these 2 along with Magraff dont make breaks,Morty , spent the 2nd half on Point Duty, occasionally going in as 3rd man tackler, we need more URGENCY, and i feel we need it fast , the NR CUP, is very important ,for ticking the SL box, and the Season start is 3 weeks away,im Afraid, unless Basil has PLANS icon_wink.gif icon_wink.gif .

I think you will struggle to beat York on Sunday. Our forward pack is probably the best (and biggest) we've ever had, and with our halfbacks as well, you won't have it all your own way.

Forwards win games by making yards etc etc we have half a pack out, give em chance see the diffence with the dual contract men in the team then see the double differnce with the Dual men and Bibey Nash etc back its a squad game these days.

Thats what im saying, about forwards, we have 3 here Armistead,Taylor ,and young Magraff, who dont make breaks, a BIG PHYSICAL pack like FEVS will murder us, thats why im Afraid.

Fair enough but there isn't much we can do about injuries but lets not throw the baby out with the bath water if we lose a few while we have half a side.

My motto REMEMBER THE ALAMO ,never give up , i just want us playing ,good rugby ,and competing, but these teams we are playing now are a division below us ,we should beat them no problem ,but are struggling ,thats my point ,we need NEW BLOOD fast.

McGraff was given 'Basils' man of the mach award on Sunday, and was praised by him for his efforts and workrate all season so obviously the head coach doesn't agree, and having watched the game thre times now I must agree with the coach.
If anyone thought this season was going to be easy then they need to rethink and quick.

Charlie, we can play some good stuff but need a platform, Nash, Bibey, Hill, Meekin give us that Taylor and Armistead can back up as prop. Running back rowers are what we are short off and we have plenty coming in, so come crunch time we will be in the mix. I expect us to lose 2 of these NRC games with the injuries we have.
Sunday we were 50 points better than Oldham but the ref slowed it down and let them mix it up with a short 10 for them.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg

So we only have the GF left to get that golden ticket to be allowed to apply to SL. The way the NRC works means that you can miss out if you lose 1. Lose 2 and we won't even get to the next round. We also need to rack up the points against CH1 teams. Dewsbury and Widnes have already showed us how.

This is what im saying Derek, we should be putting Oldham and York to the Sword, but are struggling ,it wont get any easier ,as the season goes on ,Harder in fact , we MUST be ready .
As for Magraff being Basils player of the match ,i never said he doesnt try ,what i said was he doesnt make breaks ,as dont Armi, and Jimmy T, Maurice ,has already stated its strong running back row forwards we need , well these 3 dont come into that catagory, and we now need Props at a premium, thats why i fear for us , last season was hard , we dont want a repeat, i want us to do well ,as we all do, but act before its to late ,Bibey, Nash, Hilly could be out for a while , but i do have faith in Basil .

IF the three backrowers from Wire come off the two i have seen sue do fill the 'role' as line breakers, something that hard to find in this division.
Basil like those before him can only work with the tools he has this will take time, something his carisma will give him.
