Go take your laxatives.. Reffy

We took the goal in the second half when we should have gone for the try. Ah well.

Explain.

You have to have the personnel in order to have that kind of structure. Neither we or you have it. You have to get the balance right between defence & attack. Only Leeds throw the ball around in the fashion they do because the have the ridiculas talent in their ranks to achieve this at the top level. Please tell me you get that.

Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory A att least we beat the Aussies at cricket

Laugh out loud

It's not about game management


The only team from the bottom 4 of super league who could have come back from that deficit to win is us, probably unlucky on that point but the deck was so heavily stacked in your favour to begin with I'm surprised we managed it

I'm not going to criticise individuals, but I think the main reason for our second half showing, was that we couldn't get hold of the ball. HKR retained it for long periods, due to creating repeat sets, our indiscipline under pressure, and our inability to retain the darned ball, when it finally came our way. Thinking back to the second quarter of the game, that's exactly how it played out for HKR, when we ran in four tries. Any team who has to tackle for sustained spells, will cave in eventually, just as we did. (and they did for twenty minutes or so) I would suggest that half-backs (both of them) will inevitably become 'absent' when they don't have a ball to play with.

Million light years of quality better is a bit dramatic, but as you have an extra £1m budget for your players it's hardly a surprising boast. Funny how a lot of SL opposition fans have made their excuses when we have beat them or run them close.

As a club Leigh deserve a lot of credit for getting to the level they are - whether we are good enough for the next step remains to be seen. If lessons can learned from yesterday, and we can maintain the week to week intensity, I reckon we are in with a good shout.

Same view as mine Alan, just a bit more restrained on the morning after.

Good points, ColD.
We've been FT for less than a year, easy to forget the differences in resources between SL and championship.
It takes more than losing 2 players to go from CC finalists to Losing to a championship side.

HKR were too big and too strong and fitter. 18 points in last 15 minutes. Let's hope lessons have been learned.

They are the best team in this league and will probably beat every other team so we just have to pick ourselves up and beat Salford and Wakefield. Plenty of twists and turns to go yet. I'm quite sure Leigh will still do us proud. We can still go up.

Was Riddy carrying an injury?? He just didn't look his normal self. Tom Armstrong always one of my favourite players but he had a shocker. Let's hope he's got that out of his system. Maybe his studies have affected his form. Come on, Tom. You're much better than that.

Armstrong was linked with us a few weeks ago. Maybe he knew what he was doing...?
