thought Martin had his best game for leigh today showed what he can really do with a couple more seasons could become a very good stand off

Needs to learn how to tackle.
His touch finding was pretty good and his try was top class.

i second that I played for the team above him at miners as a kid & he always stood out from the rest!

Pity the people in charge didn't realise his abilty, best solo try at Leigh this season today well done Mr Ridyard

the lad should have played at six all year giving him the experience required for big games such as today.

Donlan should have been full back all year.

seriously, would we be in any worse a situation? no!

I have seen lots all year, far better than Watson, who should be at 9.
Defence is fine, it looked worse when Maden and Reay were around him.

Thought he had a good game and will only get better.......

Where? bl''dy sick of reading criticism on here of Watson, do you think Watson has been our weak link this season?

Pleased for the lad. I think the intention was for him to be h/b cover, for Watson and the stand off that never appeared - and that, in my opinion, has been what has cost us so dearly!

I have been a critic of his tackling but he had his best game in a Leigh shirt today.

There's no doubting he's slow, he's still the third highest try scorer at the club though! Unfortunately his brain is far too quick for the players he's been asked to lead!

How people can have a pop at Watson is beyond me?
He has never had pace. If he did he would have played for GB!!
Ridyard and Watson should have been 6 and 7 all season!

Played well last week and stepped up to the plate today.

As Alan says, I think he was only brought in as back-up this year so has played a lot more first team than maybe first envisaged. That said, it should stand him in good stead ahead of what I imagine will be a regular first team spot next year.
