Quote: frankb "The lads played well no doubt but I have a criticism of our right wing. When defending both Smith and Maden seemed to drift infield and this could prove costly.'"


Some nob behind us kept shouting for this, I think most defences condense for the first 3 or 4 tackles and slide when necessary. Skolars hardly skinned us on attack did they!

It occurred to me yesterday that newts do not need to be taught to swim, but children do. Newts do not need to learn, but children do and lastly, newts do not suffer from obesity, but children do and so the idea is to create something that looks after every persons and every creatures well-being - T.Barton March 2005:



Quote: "Only gripe would be that Watson still hasn't learned how to pass to his right hand side.'"


Watson directed every play - he so important to this team this year

Quote: Leigh01 "Watson directed every play - he so important to this team this year'"

Wouldn't say [ievery[/i play as Durbin and Ridyard both did their fair share, but on more than one occasion Watson had to adjust his body position when passing to his right hand side, and I find it concerning that a player of his experience isn't confident enough to pass off both hands. He might not get enough time and space to turn around at Fev as he did today.

On a crusade to return Leigh Centurions to their traditional colours of Cherry & White.:29511.gif



Quote: TV BOY "
Quote: TV BOY "We have to be happy with 74-6. What pleases me is that the team seemed to have kept its focus for the whole of the match/quote]

Agreed. And what pleased me more is that we are starting to look like a team who are mates on the field. I will hold my hands up and apologise for my rants about Watto. His defence today was first class. The position of Durbin at hooker looks to have taken a load off his back and he was loving it. I have never heard him vocaly boss the team like that. Top. Higson, Reay, Stanton, Taylor, all of the team had a good run out today. Reay at centre will be a handfull for any opposition. I wish we had a team of Adam Higsons. The only negative things I have to say about our play are that our passing needs to be more accurate and we need more composure when we think we have a team beat. I mean the silly passing on first tackle. I'm glad the Fev game was cancelled because our lads will kick on from today. Like NK touched on, today was probably like a pre season game. Its been a couple of years since we have thrown the ball about like that and long may it continue.'"
'"

Commented exactly the same to someone today. It as like watching a Millward or Terzis team. Lots of players backing up, not afraid to spin the ball out wide and plenty of unpredictability from dummy half combined with agressive defence. One thing I will mention.... It was good to have Hobbo's experience back on the park as he gave us some good go forward (and attracted some penalties from the opposition), but please, please, please Andy, don't get dragged in to the niggley stuff!! You will cost us points against the more experinced sides in this division.

Special mention to Durbin who I thought was awsome today, controlled the ruck superbly.

ps to the d--k heads who keep slagging Watson off every time he touches the ball get your blinkers off!! He dictated everything today, well done watto!

Ditto Ridyard when passing to his left hand side, but lets carry on slagging off Watson as he is not a leyther!

Ridyard is a young player signed from amateur rugby, Watson is supposed to be an international player and the focal point of our attack. He had a good game today, but I find it perplexing that a half-back can only pass in one direction. As mentioned previously, he might not have the time to do that when playing a Fev, Fax or Widnes. Well, maybe Fev or Fax icon_lol.gif

On the subject of Hobson, how on earth he wasn't sent off or even put on report for his little spat, I'll never know.

Both his good passes in the first half were forward ones. Thank god the ref was rubbish and he was rubbish. I hope Mike Morrison is ok. Anyone heared anything?

jesus this is the first time i have read the match thoughts on here after a massive scoreline that hasnt said

Quote: "too easy and im not going again until we have better opposition'"

or
Quote: "it was only london skolars and we should have scored 300'"


would just like to touch on whats been said about watson only passing one way.
each player has a prefered passing side and would rather pass that way than the side which isnt as strong its just comes natural and watson did control the game well today just like an international scrum half would do

its just our good fortune that we have other players that can take the good spotlight off others like durbin,ridyard,higson all did today in other peoples opinions. i ould rather have that than people saying we only have a one trick pony that gets mom every week

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg



IMO thought Danny Meekin looked impressive as well.

People who wear his and hers matching sweaters should hereby be banned from all sporting arenas.:36045.jpg



one of the most pleasing things I saw today was there seemed to be some real desire and determination in defence.

I think on more than one occasion we carried their players into touch and also a couple of times in the last quarter our boys were not just making the tackle but dragging them back 5-10 metres.


Forgive me if this question has been asked/answered previously but where is Aaron Smith???
