Like I said, time for some 'moronic posts' !  |

Disappointing to see Leigh switch off at half time. It was in the bag. Hard work done and they go to sleep. I hope it doesn't cost them in 7 weeks.
I have to say that I just don't rate Moi Moi as the big name player. Is anyone worried about him. Does he break a tackle. If you could turn the clock back I am sure a better player could be signed.
Hopefully, Leigh will still go up but everyone at the club must be kicking themselves tonight.

Opinion based on performance and body language Budgie. No need for your normal rudeness. I've read enough of your posts in the past to know that you think your opinion is the only one that counts

| Let's be honest, we did blow it. But I believe the lads are a clever enough bunch (OK, not all of them. But we can't [iall[/i be good players [iAND[/i great tactically) to learn massively from the 2nd half today. In fact, that 2nd half might just be what we needed, funnily enough!
First half we blew Hull KR away, basically, and they didn't know what had hit them. Second half, we lost CONCENTRATION and then ultimately our game management suffered. Hull KR then sensed blood time and time again and we had no answers to our own undoing.
...
We'll beat Salford next week.  |

You never blew it. You are not that good. Why are you lot surprised that you got beat by a team with pedigree. Awful and arrogant. ...bye.

I thought Leigh showed enough in that 1st half to show they'll do well in the 8's. It's a reminder though that the SL clubs will punish you if you give them enough opportunities. I thought KR were there for the taking today though and I suspect you might like back on this game as one that got away.
Probably not one that you were expected to get points for though so I doubt Leigh will be reaching for the panic button. It will be interesting to see if there will be any dent in confidence now the home record is gone.

I don't think the ball got anywhere near us. I watched the entire game from over 100 yards away and find it hard to praise or call Leigh/Hull/Thaler as the entire match took place a mile away from where I was stood.
Will watch it back on SKY before I give an opinion. Should have watched through binoculars for all the rugby I saw today. So frustrating!
The KR fans in the South Stand must have got their monies worth!!'"

We will learn from this.
If we don't then we deserve to stay where we are.
1 game lost, 6 to go, still 12 points to play for - the odd thing was I didn't really expect to win, sure KR might have had a Cup hangover but I prefer to think they got to keep their intensity up.
With Kelly not playing it seemed we had a slightly better chance but after that 1st half it was a very uneasy mix of joy of the way we played and facing another 40 minutes of playing sensible stuff.
That didn't happen.
I thought Tommy was immense in defence and deserved his MoM along with AJ and Greg W. Dixon played a very good game with the exception of that missed tackle that lead to KR's first score of the 2nd half and Higham is playing with a massive amount of fire in his belly.
Barlow and especially Hoppy were excellent and I hope the with Sam H limping off it isn't too serious.
There were points in the game where it was all very daft - and yet again either some don't hear/see the ref signal its the 5th tackle or they just like playing into no space whatsoever is a sensible tactic.
People were very wistful in the North Stand with lines like "its the way we play" - it is indeed, but heads need to be engaged sometimes.
And stop feeding the trolls, it is lovely that they spend time in their hectic schedules to post countless new threads gloating about 1 loss but these things quite easily drop off the first page and into oblivion when not responded too.
Long and short of it is, winning today would have been difficult, it turned out it was, next up is Salford and we'll pick ourselves up for that and kick on. |

Not a bad post Deek, But if we are professional enough to get into SL, then we simply should not have let that first half lead slip no matter what.

I must say before KO I didn't expect us to win, but that said we will never have a better chance to beat SL opposition - 18 points up and they're missing both their playmakers.
The second half performance was just dumb. The last thing we wanted was that early Dixon score but we could have weathered that save for one after another stupid penalties (Hock in particular), turning the ball over cheap and early and poor kicking. I'd like to know what the 2nd half possession stats were.
Armstrong - can he actually pass? Throwing the ball in touch in our 10m area was diabolical, and its not the first time he's done it, he did it v Salford in the RLCC.
I said on here after the Bradford game that there's a time for high risk/high reward rugby and a time for up the jumper and kick, which IMO the early part of the 2nd half was crying out for. Seems we still haven't learned.

Good post Pat. And for me, whether people like it or not, Pala would be playing in that centre role without a shadow of a doubt. |

Yes, we blew it. However, for me the second half was an object lesson in how to starve a team of possession. We could hardly get our hands on the ball, and had to tackle, tackle, tackle for virtually 40 minutes. That's when tiredness kicks in, penalties are conceded, precious possession given away, and scores inevitably conceded too.
Think back to the second quarter of the game - surely that's exactly what happened to Rovers? Unfortunately, half time came at a bad time for us! Yes, we must be kicking ourselves, at seeing an 18 point lead disappear, but credit to Rovers who proved, in that second half, that they are a better team than we are. Personally, I don't see anything more sinister and complicated than that.
Sure, we now have to perform against Salford, Wakefield, and our Championship counterparts. But wasn't that always the case?

I don't post a great deal , however can I say full marks to our boys for that as I think Leigh play the game magnificently well , I truly would like to think you have earned promotion over the last 2 years efforts and if our sport was more fairer you would be auto promotion at the expense of the bottom super league side , it is outrageous that now at the business end we have no half backs and our efforts in the cup have created a big distraction and we find ourselves on equal pts with a side we had 12 more than a week ago, and you have to go head to head with on massive cap difference and Aussie quotas etc , truly all the best and hope we are both in the top flight as by crikey you deserve it. Respect
