Duffy has a simple choice between Brierley and Woods to partner Riddy. We are like a ship without a Rudder/ Riddy when Riddy dosn't play, as we saw yesterday! We saw Batleys Danny Yates organising his team superbly and whilst Woods tries his best he is woefully lacking pace! Everyone loves to see Ryan on the end of a pass and leaving the opposition grasping at thin air and, this is why Brierley should play because without him, we have no pace in the team!
If Riddy doesn't line up against Widnes, we wont be going to Brent

To my friends in the North Stand, you wont know just how much Batley were allowed to be offside by the officials!
There were times when Danny Yates was almost in our attacking line and, the big tall lad was almost as bad I'm a bit sad that we don't have the on field awareness to spot this and use to our advantage particularly, that we now have Brierley to get in around the back of them! come on Coaches look at this because, teams are increasingly being allowed to transgress

Brierleys natural position for us is full back.He could probably do as good a job as McNally given some game time in that position .
McNally is well established in our team and therefore must play next week.
So must Woods if fit.He is much improved from the start of the season as his confidence has grown and the coach has shown faith in him.
That leaves a place on the wing for Ryan, Forsyth on the other, as we have two decent centres one of whom sped away nicely for his try yesterday.
That might mean a battle of the bombs to the wingers given part of our tactics v the chemics at blackpool and ryan possibly vulnerable to the high kick though may be less so next to a tall centre.
Woods and Riddy hold the edge over Ryan in the kicking game and I believe Riddy kicks goals

McNally is the classiest player we have had since Steve Donlan wonderful hands !

Good Evening Reffy.

First of all, please afford me the opportunity to place here what I wrote about young Ryan on his previous outing for Leigh.




Your referral to an 'Intense Dislike' of the boy is therefore definitely a harsh response to my post and actually can be said is an exaggeration of my analysis in it self. Can the boy score some outstanding long range rugby tries? He certainly can. Is it a pleasing sight for Leigh to break the line and to see young Ryan right on his shoulder. Most certainly? Do I rate him as a scrum half, well I did set my stall out there by naming a list of numerous Championship players I thought may be a more effective aquisition as a half back so admittedly not.

I call it Reffy as I see it. You rate him and it is your prerogative to do so and for you to also state that fact on here.

However I would not say I have an 'Intense Dislike' for the boy as that is quite a misleading comment if I am entitled to say so.

Danny Yates is a very talented player. I once saw him play for England academy when Tom Gilmore was his half back partner and England's back 3 were Ben Currie, John Bateman and Stevie Ward.

Danny Yates was outstanding that day and ran the show. A scrum half I rate highly.

Oh blast. Can open. Worms everywhere. Inevitably.

He currently 'ply's his trade' at Batley for a reason....

And was doing so at Rochdale last season. Always been a mystery to me as it is certainly not due to a lack of talent.

Danny Yates is slight in stature but massive in talent
You could ask the same question about Brierley, ‘what’s he doing at Leigh ‘ ?

The Adamsons were plying their trade for Rochdale last season. Andy Thornley was at Swinton last season.

Players beneath us in the table are allowed to have good players, and players are allowed to work their way up.

Lots of talent in both C1 and 2.

We have assembled a really good little team and one that is more than capable of beating Toronto. The team just needs to believe when we play the guys from over the pond.

On the interim, its imperative we win every game leading up to the last game of the season. If we do this, I feel the other results will look after themselves !

Batley lost 48-12, maybe he could have performed better.

Don’t think the score line was Danny Yates fault, in fact, there was a marked less threat when he left the field with injury late in the game !

If we would have controlled the ball for the 1st 20 mins of the 2nd half we'd have got 60

Sorry, no offence to your Danny was intended....
