After watching a replay of the game from Saturday, in the manner how Leigh lost how much will that effect Leigh mentally ?

Within the first half Leigh lost the possession 8 times, that's 8 sets not completed. However, as we seen with less than 20 mins to go Leigh squashed a comfy lead.

in addition to this, with less than 5 mins to go Hutchinson decided to make an attacking kick, to which the Toronto winger caught ran 70 metres & put Leigh under pressure immediately & won the game from there !

Why didn't Leigh suffocate the game & Hutchinson kick the ball in the back of the stand ? Get the scrum, slow the game right down to Leigh's level not Toronto's & get themselves reset. I'm not Wayne Bennett but what is going inside Hutchinson's head at all ?

The other issue I witnessed was how easy Leigh's forwards were dominated in contact. They didn't make many wins in contact & was more or less put on their backs very easily. Overall, how much will this effect Leigh mentally ?

Don’t think it will make much of a difference really. They proved they were more than good enough to beat the mighty WP and as you correctly point out a few more mature decisions would have seen us hold onto the lead.

I’m probably most concerned with the effect it will have on the WP. More often than not in sport you see form dip more after an emotional win than a narrow loss, and let’s face it we need them to win all their remaining games (bar one)

If it affects them mentally the shouldn’t be playing.

Valvehunter you talk BS. If you check the stats our forwards dominated WP - and that was with losing a middle in the first 10 minutes.
WP dominated the foul play stats with sly punches (Emmit on Mason) and slowing down the ruck. We lost a lot of ball and made some basic errors and were by far the better team. Both choices for MOM came from the Leigh team - one half back and a centre. You should take up some other sport to watch - one that you might understand.
Mentally the team should be on top of the world - knowing they are capable of beating a Leeds team that is depleted at the minute. I am realistic enough to know that with a full squad a Leeds win would be on the cards. There is no pressure on Leigh just an opportunity to put right some errors and learn from mistakes.

We’ll find out Friday in the quarter final of the Challenge Cup.

If you’re unsure about the difference between upper and lower case letters (cap button) pm me I’ll advice you.

Won't affect us one bit, Valvetroll. xx

Don’t think it will effect the lads at all if anything should fire them up even more going into Friday Leeds coming back of a loss at Catalan and playing at fev is like a away game for them to which I see as a leveller. We need to keep the faith and get behind the lads if we come up short against Leeds it won’t be by many

Advise, I don't think he wants your advice.

Good to see the Rowley clan pack back.. Nice to see you Moron.

Edit: Sorry Morvan.

The Leeds match is almost the perfect tonic for Saturday's sloppiness.... What better way than to at least boost confidence again by performing well against SL Champs.

A win is possible but a performance is a must.

The irony...
