| First half looked like all the players had a wager on Barrow to win from scratch !!
Second half, Barrow tired due to the posession we had, but we still lacked direction and composure.
Still, its 3 points, but the 6 banker points I expected from Easter may not come after that performance !!
Hope Paul sorts it out, and that JT is okey. Looked poorley when he came off.

If they have the chance, i would advise any neutral to watch that game if its repeated,it was very entertaining.

| it was entertaining, came back from 22-0 down, and won.
Not much defence, but hardly shocking.

| Bless.....some folk aren't happy when we win.
Barrow were superb first 20 minutes, or is it that Leigh were pathetic ???
My glass is half full, unlike some people.
Surprised Beswick got m.o.m., for me either Penky or Hopkins.

JC....I am sure it will look just the same in black and white or cherry and white. First half was theirs second half was ours. We seriously just sauntered around for the first half hour, and while Duffy is a big unit, he cannot make the 10 yards at a play the ball and he still has his back to the play when the attacker goes past him.

| Well we won but.......................
Big raps to Adam Clay for going to JT's aid when he took that knock near the end.
Hope JT is OK and also the Barrow stand off who went off with a suspected broken ankle.

| I may get slated for saying this but our team need to be 60% better in defence and the same in attack to even think about the playoffs. If we continue to play like this we will get trashed in the second half of the season and forget the Choo Choo Cup. We can't allow teams to run at us and we need more options in attack. I hope we don't get a top team in the CC because we will come away with a load of injuries with the plays we execute. I haven't seen us make a big hit this season and at every play the opposition makes 10 - 20 meters a play. When I watch uis I feel like I'm walking a tight rope and this is one of the reasons that the crowds are dying.

Don't think you can be slated for that quite honestly.
When we play a team with with quick backs who run at us they excacerbate our defensive frailties.
Quite honestly if I can see that it makes me think. At 22 6 just before HT Barrow got a penalty in our 20 metre area and elected to take the two when our defence had been totally all over the place. From our point of view it was a good job they did.
Big improvement is needed because with no Sam Hopkins we would be lucky to make top 8 the way we are playing atm.
Yeh we have our spells but switching off against the top sides in the Championship will see us tonked . Now if I know that and that we are currently nowhere near Fev and Sheffield Fax and Batley I m sure PR does.
Can he fix it ?
Btw I don't have to name players but there are more than a couple who are not playing well atm.

| It was a ridicolously entertaining game of RL for me.
22 unanswered points in Barrow's favour immediately followed by a scoreline of 42 v 2 to Leigh,
Barrow obviously targetted Ryan Duffy in the first 20 mins and it worked well as they continually swept past him and it was no surprise when Rowley took him off early on. Barrow also lost direction when their hooker was injured at the same point.
Credit to the lads for turning round a considerable deficit, I thought both Hopkins and Parker had equal claim to the MOM award.
An attendance of 1200 not so great against the much publicised budget of 1800 paying spectators but given a Thursday night TV slot and bitterly cold baltic conditions, not totally unexpected.

| Well I was told there's no room for higson ATM , I'd say there is as more competitions for places means everyone plays for their place, so that should equal all round better performances .
