...but then he would not have been in 2 minds and no-one could critise him for taking the man with the ball, and who knows what the player with ball in hand would have done.

well done leigh, a good win and needed it as gateshead beating widnes could have put you right in the mire.

Cheers matey we needed it

Awesome win, really deserved it and it was so refreshing to see the quality of rugby that we played, particularly in the first half.

Pats on the back all round (1,400 times over).

Sad attendance but you could see how our players responded to the loud support.Lets keep it up every game from now on hey ?

Just goes to show that less than 1500 can still create a decent atmosphere.

Shame there was not more though who can blame them?

My brother is a season ticket holder but didn't turn up today as a) he thought we'd get battered and b) we'd be receiving said battered in something resembling a morgue. How I have delighted in describing every possible positive from this afternoon

The moneymen might disagree, but I'd rather than 1,400 on who are giving 100% support than having 2,000 on who only make a sound when they're whinging.

Spot on. Would have been a very harsh defeat, had it ended up that way (though I'd say we only played 75 minutes rather than the 80 )

Lack of ball in hand (and when we did have it we lost it cheaply) in the 2nd half could have cost us dear (some of the penalties and refs decisons were baffling even now after watching it again and using slow motion - he was wrong on about 8 occasions- poor performance from him could have cost us- and I dont usually 'bag' refs), but all credit to the team for not giving up, JT's tackle was a game breaker and for a change our halfs had the upper hand - and now who's 'bagging' Nanyn

I hope that was tongue in cheek that or else you have not read the bit after where you highlighted.
