He seems to be a great signing and with Robbie out he seems the natural leader on the pitch along with Duffs.'"
I'd agree with that, he seems to be giving the lads a blast when we concede tries too. Maybe it's because he's a leyther who has stood on the terraces watching us for the last ten years and he knows what the fans want? |

We've got a few 'leaders'. Tommy Goulden is a natural. He captained GB Lions I think when he was at Miners. I watched him lead a part of the warm up at Batley, in the group was Hill, Taylor and a couple of others but Goulden did all the talking but it was in a calm and effective way that everyone understood and took in. We have an amazing team spirit this year. |

Took me a few days to get out of my system.I wont be on this board if we get beat on sunday. Yes i will come, as at the end of the day it is my team.Maybe the last game at your place for a few years.

Glad you are now coming mate, and i think you will bring a really good following even though you lost on Sunday, and i still think the game could go either way, have a safe journey mate.

Frank the 2nd half yesterday was brilliant , but there are 2 halves to every game ,we have now played well in both second halves , fair play to the lads , but lets not go overboard about our performances ,after our next 3 games maybe have another look , hopefully we will still be top .
Keep your mind open and fed for Friday  .

Could be something to do with the intensity of Leigh's play too. Maybe the opposition is worn out by HT take your pick.
On the other hand might just be the team talk at HT. We could ask the players on Friday.

was good to see littler go and put his arm around mcgilveray when he missed the kick through for the last widnes try. Shows some real passion when we score and when we win.

It looks to me as if we spend the first half softening up our opponents, then we let rip in the second half. This could be a tactical ploy.
Just a thought.

We seem to have mixed it up quite a lot so far this season.

As others have said, the second half was great. First half we were poor though and Widnes looked like they wanted it more than us. Jury is still out, but a big improvement on the end of last season.

I'm with you Joe,i thought we were very pedestrian in the first half.
Lets hope we can keep it going for the whole season this time ,i'm sure we can. |

I think you are right. Our wingers took up so much ball in the 1st half on tackles 1-4. Way more than is usual but made good yards. Widnes on the other hand were sending their forwards up time and time again and also made good yards during the 1st half but clearly tired themselves out.
2nd half we started using our forwards to get good momentum followed by a quick play the ball and some amazing running from dummy half (especially from Govin and McGilveray). The widnes forwards couldn't cope in the middle of the field and we just started to dominate. The pack set the platform up and the backs took advantage with Govin, Ellis and Ridyard pulling all the strings. Add to the good backing up and some admittedly shocking defence and you ended up with a second half massacre.
And so the Centurion Legions routed the Viking horde |
