| I've never seen a team make so many errors in a game but still keep a good side to 1 try, fantastic effort by our lads. If we can get a couple of players back in time for the play offs we'll take some stopping. Onwards and upwards leythers!

| One man who went under the radar again was beswick, how many times did he have to take the first drive in due to having no props.
Great effort again bob

Ostick took us forward well and is coming on leaps and bounds IMO. Bate will become a fans favourtie in the mould of Timmy. Boarding on being a little bit mental but loves the physicality and the contact, loved it just a bit too much tonight. Tough little bleeder though.'"
One guy who doesn't get much mention but never lets us down is Andy Thornley.

| Well as I have put on another thread I thought the defence was exceptional ! both teams defended well but Leigh that bit better . The way the lads are prepared to play for one another is second to none and after Mcnally scored you could see how much it meant to each and every one of them ,you would have thought they had won the final all over again !All the stay aways don't know what they are missing and more fool them .I only feel pride for this team of lads and to do what they did last night and then then still have to go to work is nothing short of amazing

| If Fax can get the go-forward we know we have, I am sure we will have a good shout again this year however Handforth is stealing a wage and Ashall, well, I am sure I could do a better job at 37 and having not played nearly 20 years - dreadful.
HOWEVER - our forwards are the best in this league I feel and we are SO close to being a top side.
Don't get carried away leathers, you weren't that good to be honest. We were shocking - BUT best wishes for the run in. Top fans!

Agreed - and also good to see young Briscoe back in the mix as well - another who just gets on with the job.

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.
[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

| Thornley is a good solid utility player & the way he played at Hunslet IMO he would do a good job at centre if need be. He'll certainly be needed with Bates ban coming in & Parker's out for weeks supposedly too.

| Don't think you can underestimate McNally's contribution either. He took a real battering with the kick returns but kept going all night, and did remarkably well to prevent a repeat set on a couple of occasions.

We should win, but not easily.

| This was my first game for a few years, and what a game it was, credit to all the players in a brutal game, I've not seen such a solid defencive display in all my 29 years. It was that immense I've still not gotten my voice back!

42910_1337432023.jpg [i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]
