Just thought I'd wind him up Fred! Like the photo of 'charlie', 'frankb' and 'Dick Jones' on the LISA page of the programme!

I was more disappointed in Batley than how average we were, particularly in the 2nd half.

I think that Batley only threatened our line when we made mistakes and coughed up the ball in our own 20. They hardly broke the line in the 1st half (did they at all?) and only had a couple of breakaways in the 2nd half.

Batley were truly awful in the 1st half, but maybe it was our line speed and pressure in the tackle which made this th be the case. In the 2nd half things stuck a little bit more for Batley which didnt in the first and we were not quite as clinical as we have been of late with speculative passes going to ground. I would raher see us making a break, backing up, trying the off-load and then knocking on than none of the 3 points just mentioned so keep doing this Leigh as I wont be shouting at you for trying this if it doesnt come off (unlike some imbeciles sat fairly close to me).

We are still unbeaten after 13 games of the regular season so long may this continue.

Oh, and how good was it to see Nashy back today.

Thought Nash had a very good game

I was impressed at that.
Just look at that fixture list, throw in Batley are a team that always seem to get a win out of us and I think it was a good show.
A gale force wind didn't help our brand of RL today, however we ground out a win and with Nanyn clocking up a very good personal record there was lots of positives.

Sets us up nicely for our rich foreign cousins visit on Friday.

Big thumbs up to the team for this win. After a very tough run of games lately this win against the second place team is a great result. It seems we didn't play our best but I'm sure the score line was better than most of us expected. Difficult conditions and some team changes yet we beat our main rivals and don't even allow the bonus point. Well done Leigh !!!
Anyone know the crowd ?

Crowd was 2,285. We're now three points clear at the top with Batley in third. A little surprised that Fev have a better points difference than us but it's fair to say they've had a slighter kinder run of fixtures.

They`ve also played an extra game............

Thought we had played the same now Bart, that's if you mean Fev.

We've both played 7 games now after Fev's inactivity on Good Friday.

On top and unbeaten. What a start !
Outstanding from all at the club.

Apologies the table I was looking at had not been updated....

We all make mistakes Bart, even Frankb at times.

Yes we was flawless but thats because thats the most basic we've been all season.I dont want to upset anyone but "IMO" that game today was nothing more than a trainind session.

Frankb - Never ever (intentionally) makes any mistakes

9 of our remaining 13 fixtures are against teams currently in the bottom 5.
You've got to like our chances.

Decent crowd again, any away fans turn out? I know a lot of people (including myself) who couldn't be there for various reasons too.

Decent crowd with no freebies

Or away fans either I reckon, but we'd better get used to that next year!

Unlike your 3rd try... And you lot whinge about ref decisions

It happens a lot for us. Just ask Fev fans - all five we scored there were as a result of forward passes, apparently. And the eighteen we got in the two games against Widnes........................................

The rest of your tries were fine. That 1 was ridiculous.

If you mean the bizarre one at the start of the second half then it was our fourth one. Big call to the referee and his linesman agreed so obviously not as clear-cut as you make out.

Not a bad following Jonny, probably the most they've brought to us since the play offs at HP years ago. Coach load and a few others so maybe 100-150?

I'd like to know where you were to get a good view of our third try, as it was scored at the empty end.

Can't remember that particular one but one (4th?) we scored in the second half was very dubious.

Also Batley had a few fans sprinkled around, there was about 20 near us, good bunch too happy to chat about the game, bit of banter, a few laughs and a shake of the hands as they left, just how it should be.

4th try my apologies.

I have watched the replay a couple times as well as seeing it at the match..
