Leigh's line speed was poor Crusaders where much quicker when defending

My worry was more the regularity that they broke the line, though the cover defence was generally up to scratch.

play poor and win ?? sign of a good side !!

yeah we were poor today, yet won 35-22, and 4 missed conversions !
How was it that Crusaders never 'infringed' in the tackle, but we did about 10 times....over to you George !!!!!

Credit to crusaders they were a well organised bunch and stuck in the game right to the death. Liked the look of their number 30. He ruined us on our right hand defence.
Also credit to their fans, noisiest bunch we've had at the LSV for some time and kept singing right to the death.
They'll definitely cause a few upsets this year.
Thought we were ok and did enough to win, but a very ordinary defensive performance.
Looked like some tired legs out there, and with a squad our size and depth I would be looking to rest up some players before we start to burn out or pick up injuries.

Well we scored 7 tries but still played daft RL at times.

Too many missed tackles too many dropped balls and too many players had bad games.

Cru seemed to single out our right wing in the second half and it worked.

I don't usually have a go at refs but today's gave a very short 10 metres for both sides.

Re the mom thread who was our worst player ?

Another poor performance and a win, is a sign of a good team but would still rather us get back to winning by 52 points. A lot of missed conversions that cost us really, although I'm still a bit worried about our defence. Crusaders were good though, hope they'll avoid relegation and based on todays performance they will. They've got a good set of fans, brought a lot and kept singing throughout. I'm looking forward to going to Wrexham now, especially if we're still at the top of the league.

We just gave too man easy 10 yards to them and then allowed them space out wide,I have seen this happen loads over the years where we just don't seem to pressurise so called weaker teams when they have the ball.Nothing to worry about as we won whilst not playing our best and hopefully we can step up a couple of gears against the Fax and Fevs when we play them.

Turning out to be a great league though with no easy games amd lots of teams able to beat each other.

Great interview on Centurions TV with Paul Rowley givin a insight into one thing we speccys did,nt know about certain players yesterday and his thoughts on why the team did,nt perform up to scratch

Following the lead of opposition coaches last season; the right flank needs to buck up defensively or be replaced.

AJ was on our right wing yesterday , I admit he dropped a couple of high balls , but he took his 3 tries well , and normally is a decent defender , maybe just a blip , we all have them .

There were two players who missed tackles on that wing and neither was AJ.

Frank , im not knocking AJ , I thought he has made a very good start to the season , is looking very sharp and will keep his place , no doubt , if he carries on this way .

I didn't mention right wing, I commented about the right flank which obviously means more than one player.

AJ should be in the team and could play centre too (but not at the same time as wing)
