get leigh outta wigan:7175.jpg



Quote: Fevxr2i "Interesting to note is a lot of people are mentioning the fitness and the tiredness will be improved come the return fixture at bigfellas

Ive seen your fixture list in July - Barrow away then us away then widnes away plus maybe the potential of NRC game/s to boot, thats not an easy month by any stretch

Although there are a weeks break inbetween I think any team would be suffering with a fixture run like that

We will have to see how it goes, but your teams fitness may not be as good as people think it could be'"


There are no easy games in this league, which is how it should be, but in the last week or so we've played Bradford, and Widnes, two tough games, whilst you’ve had the same period of time just to prepare for this game, and with a good game plan that stretched us making us even more tired. But it’s not just about our fixtures and fitness it’s the fact that you will also have games leading into the re-match. Will the result be any different? Well we’ll have to wait and see.

As I’ve said before you deserved the win and well done to those of you who came over, let’s hope for a good game in the re-match.

2nd in the league says enough for me. But I also appreciate the very popular hobby of "armchair rugby coach".
The team no doubt need to do many things to improve. I have no doubt that the professionals concerned know it too.

Others may have said but I thought it was tiredness or fatigue rather than a fitness problem. Obviously those things are related but playing two games of modern rugby league in 4 or 5 days is very hard work. I'm not sure the body fully recovers in such a short time. Hence them being tired on the night and lacking bant. I may be wrong. But, fitness has not been a problem in earlier matches and I was under the impression that Millward was beasting the players pre season. We have a good physio also so I'm sure they are well conditioned just not fully recovered from Widnes match.

Quite possibly Fev were or are a better team than us and beat us - quite prepared to believe it. If so Millward and co have their work cut out but I have faith that they will do that come the business end.

How has nobody mentioned Tommy G and Jimmy T? Both worked their nadgers off last night. eusa_clap.gif

In this division it is unlikely that any team can go the full season unbeaten so not too disappointed that we were beaten by the current form team and top of the division. I do think however that the results of teh next two games will define our standing in the table come the end of the year.

It was quite obvious to me and those sat around that the lads looked very tired last night 3rd game in the same time as Fevs 1 game, it became evident when passing was going astray knock ons and all in all a very tired looking set of lads I was not surprised we lost the game but thought we did very well only to be 8 points adrift at the end considering Fev played better than us.We have lost a game so what, we don't need to start with the analysis yet ,i'm sure IM does'nt need telling how to do his job .Fev are not top for nothing ,its a blip thats all .

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



Lets hope the tiny blip doesn't grow into a bigger blip with Whitehaven and Fax next up

Haven is the last place you want to go when you've got some tired bodies, I'm sure Stokes will make sure its a physical game.

Quote: Snowy "Don't make many games, but any team with half a brain will realise that we are wide open on both flanks every time !

Fev got us on the counter good and proper and ran straighter lines. All wee seemed to do is run sideways and perform very technucal moves with no punch whatsoever. At times, it really was mundane to see.

Fevs defence won them the game today without a shadow of a doubt. I do not recall 1 true clean break at all, and this confirms my perception that once a team reads Leighs moves, we really can look pretty average.

The ref was a plonker for both teams, but we really need to sort our defensive line out. 2 quick passes and we are on the back foot. Sometimes our line speed is too quick as we are stood still whilst defending.

Did well to get within 8 at the end, as i feel we didn't really deserve it.


A fair assesment IMO.

Weve done nothing this season other than realised our potential with a good coach.

The season starts now weve sliped under the radar somewhat in the 1st half of the season and played to a structured gameplan if somewhat limited based on solid defence.

Daryl Powell is probably the most under rated coach outside SL and had Millwards number last night and it wont have gone unmissed by other coaches so its going to intresting over the next few games.

Well deserved victory, and Leigh will need to play better if they are to pick anything up at Haven.'"

Over 50 years of pain,pleasure,frustration,joy,heartache and ecstasy that supporting Leigh has given me but I would not swop it.:



You only play as well as the opposition allowed and Fevs defence was top notch last night.Tiredness, one dimensional, no plan B are all good excuses but in reality Fev got in our faces and like we did at Fax did not allow the opposition 1 second on the ball.With a bit of luck and the bounce of the ball we could have scored a couple of tries when we kicked over the line,Fev got that luck with two of their kicks.

They deserved to win though and I think Leigh will be a better team as a result of several lessons learned last night.

2nd in the League is more than I expected and we do not become a bad team of what after all was a very close game.

Get off Snowy,s back u lot this is a forum is it not ?

The lad opened the thread with his opinion and opened up a meaningful debate ,if you don't agree with him offer a different angle.

Its a marathon not a sprint and yes all is not lost with one defeat ,but you can bet your last quid that IM will look at that defeat and Analise and come up with a corrective plan.

Take your hat off to Fev coaching staff for doing their homework.

The Watcher is telling Snowy to read the stats, best points for & least points against. The Watcher will stick with coach Millwards way & will treat Snowys opinion with the contempt it deserves.

We looked a little a jaded and understanably so after 3 games in 11 days. They had a lot of time to prepare and did a very good job on us. We will play worse and win this season and I for one am not too worried about the loss. Millward is a top class coach and will spot where we went wrong/improve for next time and we aren't one dimensional. Our strenghth has been on our line speed and stiffling defence and that is going to be affected with so many games in such a short period of time, going all the way back to esater including two trips to France.

We will come back stronger starting at 'Haven on Sunday.
