Pretty evenly matched game today. One of the keys for me was the fitness levels of a couple of the Leigh props. They tired badly towards the end of the game in the heavy conditions and were pretty much passengers for the last 20.

Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "I dont think we will bother Fev no. For me Sheffield are the best team in the league and I agree we hit them at the right time but thats how it goes, IMO Leigh wouldnt have won the NRC if Sheffield didnt play London the week before. Its swings and round abouts, we beat Batley when maybe we should have lost but we also drew with them when we should have won. Rough with the smooth and try not to be so bitter I say, that must be hard living in the shadow of their more illustrious neighbours though.
not been bitter just stating that it would point to batley giving them more of a game than fax would as your 16-30 & 40-18 defeats against them probably proves...also looks like Sheffield might be back on the horse so don't be booking your final tickets just yet....

must admit some leigh forwards looked sluggish from the off...it was always going to be an arm wrestle and a forwards battle, and Paul Cooke on TV said it was going to come down to the battle of the kickers, and that would decide the outcome of the game and he was not far off the mark

Quote: Starbug "Why bother signing the best hooker outside SL if you arent going to play him until it is too late?

Also no 1 rule of knock out RL, if you get the chance to take the lead, take it, after drawing level 25 yards out from the sticks with 10 minutes on the clock and 3 PTBs it would have been simple to set up a Drop Goal, instead we go wide and throw the ball into touch

Dumb rugby'"


There were actually 13 mins left on the clock at that stage and I personally thought it was to early to go for the 1 point when 6 points were there for the taking. I also thought we would have another couple of opportunities to take a drop goal.

Hindsight though eh? Because as it transpired a point at that stage there and then would more than likely have seen us through.

Jim that is why props are Rotated several times in a game , but I think most agree about the said Props , though Spenner has been a revelation this season , I hope we have not seen the last of him .

Quote: quinny "no mention of the one from penkywicz pass that was given ? lol....that has to be the worst decision in history it was absolutely laughable that was given, and no mention of the Higson try when a player was clearly blocked ......take off your rose tinted glasses and at least accept that the best team won and it would have been a travesty had they not.'"



it's not RU mate, 3 tries v 1 try !!!!

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

Not from me Harold, I was screaming for it at the time, having the opposition ' Chasing the game ' even for just 1 point puts them under extra pressure, it causes mistakes and poor decision making

" Time is but a flowing stream". Pedro. Higherfold Cockey Pond. 1973. You can shout for silence, but boots worn all day will always hum.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_28343.gif



My personal point of view today is that it wasn't a good game to watch and we were below parr. Not helped by a few stupid decisions and stupid behaviour from a player that should know better now. Someone posted that the only thing that Riddy did today was kick a 40/20. Not far off the mark but a bit harsh. 7 times the ball was slung out wildly when we were in good attacking positions and one where we should have walked in for a match winning try. The ref and his two cronnies weren't much better than us. I had to walk off again today because I couldn't clap those lads off. We are too slow playing the ball and too slow moving up in defence. I am very disillusioned tonight and to be honest was hoping that we could have just raised our game for this one. Don't know where Ryan was but I can't remember him on the field. I wanted to run on the field and pick bloody Martin Aspinwall up to play the bloody ball quicker. We went out with a wimper and I don't think I can travel 60 miles every other weekend to see that crap next season. Sick of it now. Oh and I'm a bit upset.

We've won a trophy, something (one of) Fev, Halifax,Sheffield & Batley might get to do the same. For the last 9 years our season has ended on a $hite note, so what's new. Batley have NO chance of winning the final, we were dire today, Ref was worse, but still outscored them 3 tries to one....nuff said.

Leigh were tactically naive in the closing stages of the game after being clueless for most of it. There was nothing on display today that would encourage lapsed or new fans back into the fold.

It's over now forget it move on!
If Riddys goal had gone over everyone would have been happy
