I know he’s a favourite of yours but Higson isn’t my preferred choice, yes he has the size advantage but for me at times he comes in too soon and that leave us exposed on the wing and he can be too volatile. |

Leigh need to improve defensively, especially at the beginning of both halves. Against HKR & Salford we gave tries away at the start of each half. We also did the same against Bradford in the league match at the beginning of the game. They need to be switched on for the full 80 minutes otherwise you get punished.
If we can beat Wakey, I'm sure Leigh will be in the million pound game. It's a must win game before we have the break for the CC final.

Not necessarily a must win at all IMO, the performance is probably more important - we need to show we are learning to compete at the higher level. Reality is kicking in for some of the fans at the moment, 3 must win games to come after this. A win opens the possibility of top 3, and every chance of home game in the million pound game. |

Yes agreed, I think the Champ sides are now realising the gap and getting up to speed, hopefully not too late, plenty of interest still in this league. |

For Leigh and other Championship teams to have any chance of progressing they need to drastically improve defensively. After the two reality checks, the target is fifth place.

I think they need to improve in weaker areas that the SL teams exploit.All down to management when those areas are being hammered,I'll leave that to the coaching staff. Third place for me is still very achievable at this point. |

What are the weaker areas you have identified? |

He didn't identify them. He said he'll leave that to the coaching staff.  |

Obviously you would have a better measure of that sort of thing than most on here. |

| Quote: John Gilbert Reds "We could discuss it until we’re blue in the face, I am just giving you my opinion. Whilst I am sure other teams did have injuries and suspensions, I can be certain they weren’t quite as severe as ours and to key players. We played without both our first choice half backs for over 6 weeks, in which time we lost crucial games by small margins which had we won would have secured us a top 8 finish.
For me, Salford are the best team in the qualifiers. We have beaten Hull KR (with Albert Kelly) in recent weeks and hit the self-destruct button away at Widnes and ended up losing 21-20. As Bradford found out on Saturday, this Wakefield team is a much better one than the side which played the majority of the 23 rounds of Super League. They’re no mugs.'"
Still believe in the above? |
