| Quote: Nozzy "Got to see this one from a fans point of view and a coaches point of view.
From a fans point of view we were winning easy and 'should' have had the game in the bag. We blew it, Bradford stole it and their fans should rightly be delighted.
From a coaching point of view. We had 9 players out already, then Rangi Chase pulled out before kick off. We had just 18 players available and a back line that has been completely different every match so far. Paterson as a back rower debuting in the halves. Despite all that we battered them. As disappointing as the ending was our forwards knocked them all over the park. They scored a lot of late tries off kicks which is (very) disappointing but if I was a coach I would be far more concerned if I was Jimmy Lowes than I would if I was Neil Jukes.
Gutted about the result on the day but very optimistic about the rest of the season.'"
Part of your post is bang on, you were by far the better team as 32-6 would suggest. But come on never mind injuries, at 32-6 up nobody was thinking of your injuries
Heard from 2 different Leigh fans today before the game why Chase wasn't playing, 1 is acceptable 1 isn't, no idea who to believe. It didn't sound like he had flu

Did you read that nonsense before you hit "Submit"? Anything less that 2 points and a massive boost to the points difference is shocking.

| While it means nothing at this stage we are now 6th in the table down from 5th. Still above Fax though for now anyway

Will stay that way as well if we only turn up against the poor teams in the league. Distinctly average today and average does not win a game against decent opposition. In this form Leigh will put the cleaners through us.

| Very much in two minds about this.
I never ever fancied us to win and would have been satisfied with a narrow defeat before KO, but feared a reet good hiding. Been at a family do all afternoon and when I heard the result I thowt that's a good away point earned.
Since finding out we've surrendered a 32-6 lead I'm thinking that's just not acceptable - they did the same to us as we did to Broncos last week - and then some!
Incidentally I said on here after last year's draw at Odsal that we let them off the hook then. We have done it again only more so.

| Point lost against a side that looked very average.
The Smith and matua tries showed just how poor they are but the fact we let them in when the game should have been over shows just how average we are as well.
Any Leigh or Bradford fan hoping to see them in Sl will have a long wait on today's showing as neither team can defend.

| I mentioned a few times last year that Leigh didnt look very fit for a FT team and thats normally when the penalties started coming as the players got tired, this results seems to suggest it could be the same again, whats everyones take?

I think we have a lot more chance to get into SL than Fax have.

| So we come to the final week of the eights and as it had turned out the million pound game was already decided. Wakey and Bradford din't need to win and were playing the biggest game of their seasons the week after. Now what would a coach do in that situation oh yes, turn out half a team. Having said that we should have never been in a position to suffer from'manufactured' results.

That was last year. I don't dwell on the past. My post is alluding to this year and I stand by it. By the way, the bookies having you for finishing 6th, or is it 7th in the league, And that is looking good right now isn't it .

NEWSFLASH: Leigh and Bradford aren't good enough for Super league!
I'm guessing that you meant this as dig at the Bulls even though all the Bulls fans already know this. We don't predict promotion or an unbeaten league finish.

| I didn't go to the game, but the final 15 minutes sounded ridiculous. Feels like a defeat right now, but would have taken a draw before KO.
