| Plenty of positives at the moment for me - we seem to be getting more used to this level week on week.
Think our defence is excellent - we got beat by the best English stand off we have had for yonks
Think we still need to learn how to play the refs, a big weakness for us at the moment - lose the penalty count every week so it can't be down to the refs
Also, and this may be a little harsh on Reynolds as he hasn't done a great deal wrong, but I reckon we need Riddy- our kicking game is not punishing enough at the moment, we rarely seem to turn the opposition round

| Quote: Centurino ". "2/3 top class players" could be the difference that makes the difference.
With Neil evidently having one eye on the next 2 home games which come in quick succession - and 4 points being achievable - I reckon Leigh performed admirably last night. The points will come when the pitch gets firmer - absolutely no question.
In the last 3 games of (Leeds, St Helens and Wigan), Leigh have conceded a total of 53 points (17.7 per game average). That's pretty freaking good, with obvious improvement every week. And some "supporters" are apparently not satisfied. I've got terrible news for you, life's loaded with night and day. Alternatively, you could choose to chillax and enjoy the ride a bit.

Enjoying the ride immensely , and as you put defensively we are doing well , but no reason that a team cannot have both , yes I want more , because I believe we re capable of much more

| Dull game that, given the weather was not going to be anything but dull.
Were Wigan 20 points better than us - Yes.
Did our play deserve no reward - possibly.
Couple of brainfarts stood out, taking it out wide on a wet pitch so close to their line on the first play and taken into touch, duurrrrr.
Having said that thought Tonga went well, Vea - did he play the whole match again?
Having said all that, Wigan were depleted in numbers before the game let alone during it and given the results for Leeds and for Saints this week, we have a long way to go.

| Quote: GUBRATS "At 6-0 Alan I was fine with playing % RL , Wigan were doing the same , once it went to 12 ( in what was obviously going to be a low scoring game ) we had to chance our arm more , but also not waste good field position , apparently 6 goal line repeats to our 1 , we must put the ball over the line and force teams to pick it up
IMO we have nothing to fear from anybody in SL , the natural order of things is gone ATM , Cas have grabbed the nettle and despite having only 2/3 top class players are no better than us , but they believe in themselves
So yes we didn't show our selves up , but neither did we do ourselves justice IMO'"
Do you genuinely believe Leigh are as good as Cas?

Cas have proved that expansive RL can work in SL , are we as good ? , don't know , but I believe all teams can and should play better

Not quite sure you understand dual reg. Put simply for you the dual reg team may get the leftovers

| small squad cannot afford the luxury of missing Patterson, Stewart and Higson. That's our biggest yard maker in the backs and our first choice 2nd row. We are no pushovers, great defence last night

Frustrating isn't it, we don't have to score every time we get into the opposing 20 - force a drop out or make em come 95 yards. Keep the pressure on and the rest will come.
But hey ho as they say - certainly enjoying the ride at the moment, and as I said previously we generally seem to be improving week on week, not just the players - the coaching team as well

| Widnes had a lot more space than we did, and the pitch was far worse

Just seems stange leaving him out, his kicking alone and his organisational skills make him a must for me
