| Quote: Leyther_Matt "Think it was as much a problem with ball retention than fitness today, especially with Batley gaining momentum with playing downhill. In fact, I reckon they should practice winning a coin toss a lot more often in training ![]()
Exactly, the slope at Batley is always going to be a big deciding factor.
No disrespect to Batley, and believe me we really enjoy the time we spend here, great community club who actually do the best they can on limited resources, not unlike many other teams, ourselves included. But the pitch really is difficult to play on.
We stood at the side and surveyed the slope and came to the opinion that abseiling gear in the 1st half and climbing gear in the 2nd half would of been appropriate

| The slope, the little supporters bar, the kids running round at the back, the lopsided ground, the 100 yard long queue for cheesy chips (no I didnt  ), the little wooden scoreboard, changing ends at half time.......its what makes RL great and is long forgotten by those in SL who spout about all seater stadium, baby changing facilities, and corporate sponsors.
Give me Mount Pleasant over Murrayfield any day of the week. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: optimist "Agreed, very accurate report. However another referee incurs the wrath of the Leigh faithful.
Ian Mort goes clear in the 1st half but the the move gets halted due to crossing?
Brawl on half time clearly started by a Batley player, decision - blow the whistle to end play and take no action?
Knock on by Batley player followed by a Leigh player, decision - Batley feed?
Sin binning of Aaron Smith, please could somebody tell me what it was for?
Try by Armitstead, looked perfectly good but gets disallowed for offside?
Sin binning of Mort can't disagree with, but felt he had to do it.
Week in, week out we're getting hammered by these officials and i for one am of the opinion that Leigh should ask for an interpretation in regard to these decisions. The performance of the majority of officials in this division is inept to put it politely, and as such is seriously now becoming detremental to our enjoyment of Rugby League.
Myself and Mrs Optimist shamefully did berate the officials when they left the field at full time, wasn't helped by the 3 of them all wearing smug smiles. Mr and Mrs Optimist are pretty objective regarding officials, and we fully understand that it's not an easy job, but we are now of the opinion that the this current bunch are sub standard.
Having said all that, well done to Leigh.....Never was going to be easy, poor pitch, poor weather conditions, and an even poorer set of officials.'"
Good job none of the officials what happened as we took Mennel out late again which started it all. I counted it at least 3 times happening and after Smith's Binning you could see Mennel brac himself after kicking expecting to be taken out  |

| Quote: Nozzy "What WAS the penalty count today? We didn't seem get many especially in the 2nd half.'"
I counted 12-3 for Batley. Actually we got 2 in the second half! I'm doing a feature on penalty counts, in the programme v Widnes. I know mere numbers can be misleading, but the results are intruiging! |

We are bottom of the fair play league....until we sort that out, we can't have any complaints about being treated unfairly when a brawl breaks out.

I like manydont mind being on the wrong end of a penalty count in which the rules are applied evenly, in many games I have watched they are not being applied evenly.
Rowley factor?

What concerns me is how many points we scored in the second half? Can't we even manage a drop goal?

2 probs there.
a, thats a fair owd hill to conquer [ not an excuse really but cant be good ]
b, drop goal did you not notice that even our kick offs were goin knowhere due to the bloomin wind against us.
thus attacking uphill whilst facing gusts is not ideal??
suprised that batley did not try 40/20 in the second half

That's as big an indicator as any to their confidence (or lack of it). Glad we learned from our mistake with kicking for touch anyroad, opting to take a tap in the second half after the previous attempt didn't make touch because of the wind.
Thought there were one or two occasions where we might have taken the option of a drop goal, but they were literally just those couple of occasions where we managed to get within their 20m line. |

Batley could'nt even manage to score going uphill so it must have been hard going and when they kicked the ball up field it was'nt going anywhere so was ready for a come back in second half,if they can struggled going uphill on there own ground its obvious we were going to find it just as difficult dont you thnk.
