Quote: Leythersteve "Just seems stange leaving him out, his kicking alone and his organisational skills make him a must for me'"



I think it's due to Reynolds doing well in the No 6 spot, and rightly so, so when riddy does get his chance, he must take it with both hands. He didn't look fit at the Cas game,but he might just be knocking on the door now to get a chance.

Gelling should have got 10 minutes for unsporting behaviour and being an arrogant

My post has obviously been edited.

Correct.

Their last try was offside so not a bad result for a Leigh side way below full strength.

I'd bring Hampshire back in the centre next week Higson and Riddy back and leave that young lad from Hull on the other wing.

We were robbed yesterday cos Hicks had a bad game and Hatty did not put anything in my cup. icon_smile.gif icon_smile.gif

Quote: GUBRATS "Just watching Cats v Widnes , in similar conditions to last night both teams making sure if close to opposition line on the last tackle they force a drop out'"


I popped over to the AJ Bell.Very heavy ground made worse by the RU match Friday..Wire had one forward on the bench Benny Westwood..Bad call or forced I don't know..Same with us.

If there was a question,I'd have to ask of the coaching team last night,Why wait so long for fresh legs?

Hampshire @ icon_rolleyes.gif in place of who - I'm more of a than he is, Tonga and Crookes look very good for me.

Wing or in the halfs, or Brown gets injured are his only opportunity IMO

I'd definitely keep Naughton on one of the wings. I think he will get better and better has he gets more game time, especially when the weather starts to improve.

Strange isn't it , on virtually every thread about every team in every game we see the same comment

" we were poor because of the bad weather , and we'll be better when we get to the drier pitches "

It's often used as an excuse for losing , so the assumption is the team that won wont improve with the weather d040.gif

Oh What a Night!! Friday night just highlighted to me why have got to stay in this league. I have enjoyed our times in the championship however, Super League is quite literally, a different league! We had a crowd of over 9000 against saints and almost 16000 on Friday night, the atmosphere generated in these grounds is fanatastic!

As for the game itself, we certainly managed to compete with the World Champions and Grand Final Winners! yes though it pains me that's what Wigan are icon_cry.gif Fortunately we won't need to beat Wigan to stay in this league but, a Challenge Cup victory at LSV against them would be very nice k020.gif
Who would have thought a Leigh team minus Martyn Ridyard, Gregg McNally, Dayne Weston, Adam Higson and Cory Patterson could compete with Wigan, I certainly didn't, all these players played a massive part in our campaign last season particularly in the middle 8s! and they are due to return to the playing squad soon, other than Gregg who will be later in year! The future is great, we will definitely compete in this league!
I think it is time for Riddy to return to the team, we are at our best when he is pulling the strings we certainly missed his field kicking at Wigan when on a night like that and the conditions, it would have put Wigan under a real test. Reynolds has filled in well however, he will never be able to influence a game like Riddy can! Our poor field kicking was one of the reasons we failed to score, Wigan's defence was another! Wane said post match," they didn't trouble us" oh really ? I would think they stopped more try line chances than we did? we where inches away on several occasions in that second half!!
It would be a remiss of me not mention your friend and mine, Bobby Hicks! What a plonker! he once asked me why Leigh fans didn't like him icon_eek.gif I told him I only had an hour and there wouldn't be enough time icon_lol.gif
I'm really pleased with the squad we have assembled and the Team is now taking shape. Big wraps to Atela Vea I was unsure about this guy at first however, what an engine he has he is fast becoming a regular player in the 17! A personal pleasure for me has been to see Willie Tonga show us how he managed to achieve 12 Kangaroo Caps! On a shocking night (weather wise) he was able to draw opponents in and release Matty Dawson with passes only world class players are able to do wonderful! I've not seen such centre play at Leigh since the days of Steve Donlon eusa_clap.gif
After 63 years of supporting Leigh it is just getting better, the Stadium, administration, players et al....
to see families heading to the LSV in droves on match days/nights is truly fantastic!!
Enjoy the ride icon_biggrin.gifANCE:

Some teams and some players suit firmer grounds better. Simple,
If some teams don't have as much power in the forwards but rely more on throwing the ball about then they're gonna be more dangerous in better, dryer, conditions. Also I wasn't saying we'd lost because of the weather. I was making a comment on one individual player. Chill !

Yes you were , a winger , find me any winger that won't improve both attack and defence in better weather ?
