A draw at half time was fair, though it was a very, very weak try to concede.

I'm not one to really criticise refs but Moore is consistently inconsistent and this can cause the game to get to an unnecessary boiling point very early on in proceedings.

Cas players that stood out were Westerman, Miller and their winger Wallis looked very handy.

But back to Leigh and having only seen highlights and reports of the Wakey game I can only assume that was the same game plan we employed tonight. Keep it tight first half, make an opposition team short of confidence over work and then put the hammer down in the second half.

And what a second half, we were as equally good and Cas were equally error-ridden and tired. A fine effort across the park tonight, though still felt some needlessly hurried plays and trying to force the game leading to many bombed chances.

Nice to see the team having a good laugh at Mulhern's near 30 yard dash for the line, he really is coming on well. Ava had a good game and I'm Holmes is making strides.

Nice that we could rest a few players with 10-15 to go too.

Josh on the other hand...not scored for a while...I'd be looking to replace icon_lol.gif

Thanks for the update DK. BBC Radio Manchester were their usual unreliable self with no Radio coverage despite there being a link to it on their own website. Thanks to the twitter updates folks who were my only source of info.
Great to hear that Ava had a decent game. He is a huge unit, (I shook his hand earlier in the year at a training session), and he could be a huge asset if he can find his fitness and form.
I see my man Kai scored again. What a player this young man is.
I’ve seen some negative comments about Holmes in the past weeks but he seems to be playing big minutes and what I’ve seen he looks to be really putting in good shifts in attack and on defence.
Sounds like Ben R also had a good game with a try and conversions (did he make every one ?)
Lam senior said it would take 8-10 games for us to really start to see our potential. Well he was bang on and we can now expect to see us get better still as the fine tuning continues.
If anyone is still looking over their shoulder, stop it, we are top 8 all the way, and good enough for a playoff spot if we can stay healthy.

Well pleased. Record number of SL (competition) points already whilst 3.5 games to half-way in the season. Bongser might start listening to Vanners' ravings soon!!

Think that that was the first time that Leigh have won three on the trot!

Interesting tactics from Uncle Adrian - no interchanges until about 10 mins into the second half. Wtf -they worked. Wonder if he is, small squad that we have, prepping for inevitable absentees later in the season by creating the fittest pack in the whole World EVER!

Thoughts please. COYL.

First 20 mins we really went at cas but felt a little frustration was creeping in that allowed cas to have a sniff of a result but that defence of ours really is a joy to watch committed , brave , brutal at times it really does knock teams off their game .2nd half after Lammys half time chat , what can I say only us in it , still in search of the 80 min performance but good result non the less . From a neutral point of view the classy cas has definitely gone , no real go forward in the pack take westerman out of that side and they get done by top 4 championsip sides. On to Huddersfield now who are not performing as expected, get that result and play offs are a definite possibility.

For some reason the use of the word sniff in the same paragraph as Westerman is amusing me

Fantastic work rate from this team. Cas pretty much burnt out after 60 mins. Only worry is injuries that will inevitably occur at some point. Hopefully Ben N back soon so Amone can get a bit of a first half break. Top performance from him and Mulhern. Few first tries also which was nice Davis, Ava and Ricky. Probably best defensive team we have ever had at Leigh. Hudds next is it too much to ask for 4 in a row.

As mentioned I suppose we had the luxury of being able to rest players with many minutes to go.

Send Matty on as interchange for Edwin.
Asiata and Amone off for Wilde and Mellor with Matty then going middle and Mellor to hooker.
Then Edwin back on, Lam off and Mellor going to the halves.

I'll say it now, in that I was never I big believer in Martin Ridyard for many a year, God loves a tryer but he blew very hot and cold, especially kicking. But over the years he improved (I suppose that is to do with learning the game and maturing in general), his kicking was still hot and cold but he became more level-headed in attack and his defence was always solid. I see Reynolds in a similar vein, he seems to have gained that maturity over the years, still has the expected brain-fart in attack, we can't all be perfect but never goes hiding in defence. It's just comes down to the kicking, and we can't all be Inu I suppose, but I'd have gladly taken a cold Ben kicking game last night and hope for a perfect one when it comes to closer games.

Then again if we are going to start scoring more up the middle, we shouldn't have to worry about that.

Our players cardio does look unworldly at times.

From the last for matches I said I'd be happy with 4 from 8. We got 6 from 8. Top stuff.

Next four matches I'd hope for another 4 from 8. Giants next will be interesting as they seem to be falling out of form, I don't expect anything from Wire. Surely we should beat Wakey again and then Hull, how having got the better of Wigan on Thursday could be getting into a stride and then being at home may be the difference.

Deekos. I am about to commit heresy on this forum and seemingly in the eyes of most Leigh fans' views, but this is my opinion. Here goes....
For all Martyn Ridyard's many undoubted qualities he was not Super League standard. He was, however, a very good Championship level player. There, said it.
Leigh fan favourite, yes, deadeye goalkicker, yes, but Championship level only.
I do not know Ridyard personally. I am sure someone on this website will say that they know him, but I will be happy to accept that he is an absolute diamond geezer, a great bloke, but John Woods he was not. Whilst he certainly had the Leigh club at his heart and he gave everything for the club in the spells that he played for us he was limited as a player.
Lack of pace, for me, a susceptibility in defence and a tendency to disappear in close games all meant that he spent most of his career with us, playing in the Championship. Let's face it, had he been a notch or two better he would have been snapped up by one of the SL teams and played more games than he did at that level.
Heresy over.
Ben Reynolds - just what is happening to Ben?
Up to this season I would have said 'ditto' in respect of Ben to the comments I have just made in respect of Ridyard. Yet, something seems to happening and its all very good.
At the start of the season I was worried that if Ben had to play a lot this season then we were likely to be in trouble. I am more than happy to say that he has, so far, proved me wrong.
The jury is still out but I have stopped worrying when seeing his name on the team sheet each week. Yes, he still has his weaknesses but his deficiencies as a player have not prevented the team from functioning at the required higher level necessary to survive in SL. In a nutshell, the lad is stepping up. More to the point a much better judge of player than me, our PNG legend of a coach, is happy to pick him each week in what appears to be his first choice starting 13. Not only does Ben get picked but with him in the team we have just won 3 games on the bounce.. For some of us old enough to remember we have to go back to the early 1980's for when we last witnessed that happen at the top level!
Increasingly Ben is not looking out of place. Possibly it might be humble pie time in my previous assessment of him
I agree with your comments on the coming fixtures. We are definitely capable of taking points/winning cup games from the next batch of fixtures.
With each week that passes in this season the more I am beginning to wonder just how high we are going to finish in the table come the end of the season. We are certainly capable of finishing in our current position - which would amount to a success - but equally I don't see why we cannot finish a couple of places higher.
This looks like it will be a brilliant season for the club. It could just end up being a memorable one. And I thought last season was good fun...

When I saw Ben Reynolds in the Warrington pre-season game, then at a team training session pre-season, I said he was in the best shape and looked faster than I had ever seen. Adrian Lam and co have a big hand in his growth this season, but Ben himself has obviously put in so much work on a personal level to get himself to where he currently is. Going forward I see him as our version of Stephan Ratchford.
He is playing great at 6 but could now really be developed in years to come and used at 1, 3/4, 6, 7, 9 and 13 if needed. Every good team needs that player. He is fit, fast and dedicated in attack and defence.
He also looks like a key part of the team spirit.
Well
Done BR
