Have to disagree as you stated in a previous post we don't have speed,either in our best team or in the replacements.Good teams will try and get us stretched out wide.We must have the slowest set of backs in our division

I like Leigh and their fans, I liked Rowley to a point and you play or at least did last year a brand of rugby easy on the eye, but I find it hard to want Leigh to win anything purely because of Beaumont.

I don't disagree with you prop,what was the fastest backs in the league last season has suddenly become the slowest.Last season was off the cuff and the backs enjoyed the glory.

This season so far the backs really haven't had a chance to get going,and yes I do say pace is missing,but simply because the pack is much better and everything seems to be up the middle.So if that's the way we are to stay, then we need wingers with a killer instinct.Catch it and put it down,but we can't have it both ways at present as the backs can't cope with the speed of the forwards.

Everyone of the backs has been left wanting and watching up to now.When last season it was the other way around.

im not too worried about the result.lost by two points in apparently terrible weather conditions and with illness in the club,if we start to lose league games on a regular basis,then I will start to wonder.

The backs, Kay in particular, will benefit from the return of McNally.

That's like me saying I like Wire and their fans , I liked Cullen to a point but I don't want them to win anything because of Simon Moran

Ridiculous

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh. :CLAP: [/quote:1xb0p6sn] [quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg



Yesterday we had a stinker.

Collectively our team somehow completely forgot how to catch or pass a rugby ball.

Jonny Pownall (who i rate highly) had a NIGHTMARE at full back. He dropped everything, his passes went everywhere. Toulouse scored their one try due to him slipping on his ar$e trying to deal with a kick and they picked it up and strolled over. We need Smith back (or McNally) as JP clearly isn't a fullback.

We stunk, but if the team was ill then it explains a lot.

Our defence wasn't bad, the effort was there (when you are stood 5 yards from the pitch you can hear the players clearly and they were trying) but sometimes you just have one of those days. Everything we did went wrong.

Toulouse impressed me, they were the best side we have played this season.

It has been a great weekend. Didn't expect to get soaked to the bone playing in the South of France though! Wasn't a cloud in the sky in the 1st half then 2nd half was thunder, lightening and the heaviest rain I have ever seen.

Also ended up getting drunk with the Toulouse Winger Kuni Minga in the Melting Pot after the match which was a laugh.

Great weekend, poor performance.

Glad this performance came in a Cup game. The league is what is important this season and we are top at the minute. Use this defeat as a kick up the backside and make amends next week at Fev.

Featherstone is going to seem a bit of a comedown after a trip to Toulouse icon_lol.gif

My feelings exactly on your club, I detest "whinging Pom" Smith and it goes back to his parachute days with Huddersfield and his almighty arrogance ! you wont win anything without Sandow however, with him, youll likely win the lot! hope not icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: terrykelly "We need an experienced coach soon. apart from whitehaven and workington at home, we have not played well for 80 minutes yet, relying on quick scoring bursts in the second half. so derek b spends a fortune on signing quality players, rowley quits (why, we will never know) and says to neil 'fancy a go mate'. I doubt jukes will be in charge next season, infact if he is, then I will eat a hat, not my own, because I do not own one'"

Its easy to blame the coach when we lose however, the players are culpable too ! Jukes may be at fault I'll need to see the game first but beware! sacking the coach dosnt always bring about a remedy, check out HKR, they sack Chris chester who took them to Wembley last season, install Webster and lose to a lowly championship club at home ! meanwhile, Chris Chester goes from strength to strength at Wakefield eusa_think.gif

Quote: Centurino "I'll probably get slated for this, but ever since Higham arrived back at the club, the rugby has become very ugly. Get Beswick back ASAP and get the ball pinged around again!'"


I can't believe no one HAS slated you yet. lol

If it wasn't for Higham, mate, we wouldn't be top of the league IMO.

Allow me to be the first!
You've only got to see the drop in our dominance when Micky s off the field !
Beswick has many attributes however, playmaker is not amongst them !
The biggest loss for us was Penky he was our real inspiration !

Ah Leigh, if it isn't opposition fans then its our own fans running around like Chicke Littles after every suspect result.

As per, it is never dull.
