Difference is that we looked stronger and faster than Batley today. It was an excellent showing, after we got the early errors out of our showing the result was never in doubt.

Looking good but Batley will bounce back tey have next best coach after us !!!!

What a brilliant performance today a big well done to the lads for producing such a great result What was so evident today was we played as a team which I don't think we saw as much in the friendlies but now when it does really matter the lads produced the goods superbly
Well done to the fans turning up in numbers & playing their part too

Brierley tops the try scoring chart.

(Now lets keep it like that.)

Its no good playing to peak in the playoffs this season. What matters is finishing 1st or 2nd. The likes of moaning minny aston are going to have to approach the season differently. Yes its nice to win the silverware but half a million quid will be nicer.

Yes you are right Demon

I was pointing out that Batley are still agood team and we should not write them off .
We can't treat anyone lightly , results today show that !

I agree re Aston

I won't lie I have been a critic of Rowley's at times and I expected to lose today, however that was nothing short of outstanding. Not just that, but Leigh played some real exciting football. Now to keep it up for the next 25 rounds!

Lynda , I don't think PR will treat anyone lightly , we scored some very good tries today against a decent team , it can get better though , when the drier ground starts , Ryan could have had a couple more tires today but was unlucky the ball went to ground , when we open up we showed what can b done , I think the rest of the League will sit up at this result , be interesting to hear what JK has to say . .

Well I thought we were a little rusty. That is not meant as a criticism as we scored some belting tries, the like that has not been seen since the Terzis era. The lads bombed a few chances, but come April time we will be more fluid and the passes will stick. We could and will put 70+ points on teams like that this season. When you consider the strength in depth we have in the squad, it all bodes well for the season.

Well...................that was very impressive

I always fancied us to win but in a really tight affair and possibly a bonus point to the Dogs. But after a slow start and going behind it was virtually exhibition stuff. When was the last time a Leigh side ran in so many long range tries? And not against poor opposition - the Dogs will still be there or thereabouts come crunch time.

One minor gripe, both tries conceded (2nd one particularly) very soft.

Another minor gripe, didn't agree with MOM - Riddy played well enough but there were others more worthy (e.g. I thought Higgy was sensational on the wing).

The future's bright, the future's Leyth!!!!!

The moves that Rowls has got the lads doing we're class & very entertaining

Thought we where excellent today. We where very expansive at times and it came off. A couple of times it could have cost us if it went wrong but it didn't. Nice to see a side prepared to play positively in any area of the pitch. Batley are a side who are always strong, never spectacular. To score 50 against them was unbelievable. We left some rally good players out of the 17 today too so the competition for places is there also. Absolutely magnificent

Biggest positive this year is the quality of the guys who didn't make the 17.

You could pick up an injury or two in any position and still have class players step into the fold.

Not only that we will have competition for places and should be able to rest one or two players each week without detriment to the team.

I'm not naive enough to get too excited but I do believe that the future is bright.

Some top drawer tries this afternoon. Don't think we ever got past about 80% of our best as well...I fear for the opposition when the combinations click a bit better and we hit a team full pelt!

My word what a game Ryan Duffy had, certainly showed he's in the team on merit.
