If it wasn't for Higham, mate, we wouldn't be top of the league IMO.'"
I thought Higham looked lively against Toulouse. he tried to inject some pace but the others except for Whiting and paterson didn't support him. Disappointed with the Leigh attitude, they seemed sluggish and surpised at the line speed of the French in the first half. The game would have been all over at HT if the French hadn't fumbled three tries. Bad handling from both sides cost dearly. Scrappy game but the best team won in this one-off meeting.
Great to see the usual Leythers at the match yet again - you lot have the greatest travelling fans ever .
Big Derek B was great after the game, gracious in defeat - he gave the MOM Planas a signed Leigh shirt, top man.

| Best team won. We were pretty awful to say the least. However if we'd taken the penalties on offer we would be in the hat for next round.

| If hitler hadn't been born would we have any event the same since 1939. Every action has a reaction, by not taking two we were in a position to get the next opportunity by taking two the whole series of events would be different, why we debate this afterwards is beyond stupid.

These forums thrive on debate, if you think it is stupid then ignore it. I think we should have taken two, others disagree but neither view is stupid.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

We have for the last few years refused to take the kickable penalty and a safe 2pts to level a game or go ahead.We did the same v Wakey last year when we were losing by 1pt and had an opportunity to tie the game with a DG from 10 yds out, but we tried the miracle play and came away with FA.Sometimes our onfield game management is sadly lacking,if nor entertaining.

I know the games moved on since the Murphy era and our cup final win but seldom did our teams in those days come away from the opposition half with out scoring,even if it was only a drop goal.The object of the game is to score more points than the opposition by whatever means you can.It was obvious on Saturday that our attack wasn't operating well so to ignore the chance of points via penalties was bad team mangament

| Then debate tactics, few SL take two with 30 mins left when well on top. We rarely take two in the same position as you lose field position and take the risk of giving the opposing team possession in your half and losing momentum. Taking two on Saturday lost us the game imo as TO were under the cosh and on team warnings, taking two said we accepted we couldn't score and they lifted.
If you have a policy to always take the two then fair enough, but then we will be whinging when we cough up and concede six
