The Conga just before the end was awesome, well done to the fans who took the defeat on the chin and still had a laugh.

Cheers Pal, then one more vodka & coke, then off to bed, I'm one very happy Budgie !

Thank fook we don't take your predictions on board ..Next up Wire and you have already predicted that.

Fantastic win.

Our defence last night was as good as I can remember from a Leigh team. We kept the offloads from their forwards to a minimum and took their attacking options away from them.

our kicking game was strong for the first time this season, forced a few drop outs and made hudds start plenty of sets close to their own line.

I think Tickle and Vea both did 80 minutes(?) Tickle MOM for me.

Far from a perfect performance but the signs are encouraging, especially when you think of the players we are missing

Last night convinced me that we are a Super League team.

On a low note after the game I always stand over the tunnel and clap the players off the field and I noticed Martin Ridyard stood ther watching the boys going to the north stand and coming round. I felt sorry for him. The look on his face said to me how much he is missing that adulation from the fans and how much it means to the players to do it. He looked a bit sad to me. What do we do though if the half back partnership is going well? I know you can't put sentiment over results but I sort of miss him. I'm sure there will be a time when he will get another chance to shine.

I am sure Riddy will keep working hard to get a place in the 17. He did it last year when things weren't going well for him and he'll do it again.

I'm sure Riddy will get a game soon, it was evident from the first match that he wasn't fit enough and possibly carrying a knock, Reynolds has started off really well and will not give up his place lightly.

WWatching him warming up before the match he looked a lot trimmer. I'm sure he'll be fit and ready to do a good job when needed. We'll probably need or miss his goal kicking at some stage this season.

Well Reynolds may be heading for a ban as he was put on report if I remember correctly - up to Ridyard to keep the spot if he gets the opportunity

Even at 12-0 and us seemingly still unable to complete a set I was enjoying the game more than any other this season.

Well, except for Campbell, that level of inconsistency was always going to lead to a few rumbles.

When we beat Hudds in the 8's I thought they were particularly grubby but last night was up a notch, especially their 15. Not that we were innocent, Gaz needs to tackle lower.

I think the defensive performance galvanised the team as the match went on and when Hansen touched just inside right in front of me for the 3rd that really did lift the team in general and things seemed to click.

Drinkwater's kicking still a tad suspect and has an air of panic about it but I was very please with the interplay as the match went on, especially between Hoppy and Higham.

Was tickled by Crooks trying to, well it seemed sarcastically quiet down the North Stand after the first bit of biff and full marks to the Giants Conga and also to Brierley for acknowledging as he was the last off the pitch.

Personally think the scoreline was a tad flattering to us but the defense deserved the shut-out. A great response off the back of the Wigan result and I'm thinking the next two fixtures will be quite critical the way the league is already shaping up.

Well done lads.

From watching him in the 2nd half of last year and the start of this, Higham looks to be playing the best rugby of his career.

To nil a SL team in only our 5th SL game is a tremendous achievement. To nil a team, first and foremost you need to have a great team spirit in the camp and that being evident is most pleasing aspect for me.

I know Harrison Hansen was named MOM and deservedly so but I thought young Gareth Hock was superb all night. He looks like he is enjoying life again in the top tier and that only bodes well.

Do you know who has impressed me also in the past couple of games? Young Lachlan Burr. You can see why this lad has played countless first grade NRL games. He is a big unit with great defence. Our last try was a result of Burrs offload. He is only gping to get better the more he plays.

Oh and young Ridders has lost over a stone in weight since Castleford away. He is good to go which is interesting as Drinkwater has looked unusually out of sorts for the past couple of games to me.
