| Didn't go our way and Wakefield played well.
We now need to regroup Work hard in training and now go into lockdown mentality with 4 cup finals to come with the goal of that being the playoff Game.
Thus far we've been below par but we've also had the toughest fixtures of any club in this comp so some measured reactions needed with hard work on the training paddock.

| Leigh showed flashes of what they can do, too many coach killers from your lot today.

| Well' just home and thought that was a cracking game of RL....had everything....
Thought we won the arm wrestle in the first half with better ball control and discipline and even though behind at half time felt confident we would pull away in the final quarter with all that field position and territorial advantage in the first half taking its toll on your defensive efforts..
How wrong could I be...it was on a knife edge right to the hooter which is great credit to both sides workrate and will to win...
Really enjoyed it though...had a real cup tie intensity about it and somehow we found a way to cling on after Leigh threw everything at us...all the Leigh fans we walked past going in and coming out were very pleasant....just the one guy shouting to the car it was daylight robbery but there Ya go!
Hope we can get a few more good results in the next couple of games and finish top three because I don't know if I could handle the million pound game at home to Leigh....nerves couldn't take it...
All the best!

Too many coach killers AGAIN. Its becoming a habit rather than a rarity. I'm with reffy. For 2nd time in 3 games WE managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

| Leigh made too many errors today, especially ball in hand. Whatever the reason/s.
Wakey were there for the taking (they're still not a patch on Salford or Hull KR in my opinion) and we blew it.
Simple.

Teams will be different in different games....you say we aren't a patch on Salford yet we should have best them at their place...with a bit more composure at crucial times we would have done...
It's probably our poorest performance attacking wise for quite a while...plenty of field position just couldn't unlock you at times....When Tim Smith is on his game we are far better than today...he was way off his best today...maybe the knee was playing up again...thought you closed him down well though...
You made a lot of errors today but defensively and your will to win could not be questioned at all....certainly surprised me a bit after the last round of games....maybe you improved in some areas from those but not in others? Think both coaches will feel their team could have played much better...enjoyed the closeness though and the game going right to the wire...

Know what you mean about Gregg's moaning - it's not as though the ref will change his mind either. However, he wasn't moaning all the time - Tim Smith was doing his share when anything went against Wakefield.

| Giving the ball away after Kay's try and letting them in before half time was a monumental brainfart.

No idea what you're talking about to be honest.

| Wakefield were poor and still won. Tim Smith had an off day and usually dictates how well we play. With a stronger officiating team Leigh would have had 12 men and possibly 11 for another 10 as well. Next game they could be missing a couple so could get turned over in their next game.

| I really wanted Leigh to win.
It's alright scoring great tries, but if you can't see the value of getting in front with a drop goal before Wakey did, then it's a bit poor.
And that is not hindsight by the way ... I thought that at the time.
