Webster - been poor so will probably have to buck up his ideas or move on
Doran - on the evidence of the game against you, you can have him back, but as he spent his time point scoring, I doubt the others will want him
Varkulis - agreed
Hartley - actually still here but God knows why as he is always injured.

Goosed? No, but vast improvement needed. We are still second despite putting in one of the worst performances I've ever seen on Good Friday from a Widnes side.

As for last night, Fev just looked better balanced, bigger and better organised. Watson looks a shadow of his former self. The two who stood out were my namesake (No 14) and Stanton who was outstading. But it isn't quite as black as you are painting. Morrison,Hill, Armistead are all good players and Donlan (played in the centres, what was Ned up to there??). This division is close and though Fax, Fev and Barrow look the likely winners so far, none of them have big squads and when injuries come, you have to wonder if they can maintain the good form. Leigh will make the play-offs.

Wasn't one of Yorky boys quotes when he arrived here 'Losing so many games at the start of the season isn't the standard that Leigh should be achieving' (or was there some poetic licence in that??) well Mr Kelly we have lost more at this ime of the season that we did last so???????

I'm sure Arthur would get rid but it would cost in the region of £70K so we're stuck with the pratt, move him 'upstairs' Arthur give young Rolley his chance, Kelly has had the same budget as Shaw had last year (well documented) but has proved he cant handle it, move him out of harms way and fast.

As for Benson he was given the biggest budget since Abram was in SL (and before that) and he couldn't drive a coach never mind be one, Heath and Basil (when he was there) did all the work, talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk.

easy to see whats wrong,its your forwards mainly but what have you done to Donlan he didnt look interested.Watson and Mort gave 100% cant say that about the rest probaly Stanton apart.

Donlan should NOT have played he was injured

I second that.

I'm sure things will come together eventually but we really do need to stop playing the boring forwards game and getting beat at it week in, week out. We are doing the basics so poor like supporting the man with the ball and running angles, we just don't do it and make hardly any yards. Our Left hand side defence got showed up again last night. On a positive note a great return from Rudd and surely he now deserves a run in the team and hopefully the rest of the team will copy him and run onto the ball

If Rudd is not the 1st name on the team sheet at Batley, there is something seriously wrong............watched him closely last night and the lad was superb in both attack and defence.
Welcome back Adam (at last).

no disrespect to mort but Donlan HAS TO BE AT FULL BACK.

He is being wasted elsewhere

This is the way Kelly's teams have always played but he's had better personnel to put it into practice.

Thought we'd turned a corner at the back end of last season but seem to have gone backwards in the off season and never recovered.

Let's hope we can turn another corner... very soon.

Stuart will be good at stand off but the forwards aren't setting a platform for he and Watson to play with.

No drive, no go forward, no penetration. We looked a yard or two slower a lot of the time and their doesn't seem to be any urgency.

Can't remember him playing at S/O in his youth for us or anytime during his time in SL.

Learned most of his trade @ Full Back and would benefit Leigh best playing there for us now.

Stuart played stand off on the Academy, before graduating to the first team.

Where he played FB unless I'm missing something.
His experience there at the moment would be invaluble. Turley had the chance to learn his first team trade behind a very good team - Mort doesn't have that luxury
