Missed the game today so can't really comment. I think the league will finish Leigh top again with us in second, depends if Leigh implode during 8s again, I would be extremely surprised if we can pull off a win against any of the super league teams so 5th place and million pound game is possibly our best finish.
As for Mr Cobbled, funny we have had very few complaints when we have been winning'"
Apologies for not being clearer. I was using todays performance to back up your positive post on Hock. I appreciated your more level headed opinion on him and felt today justified what you were saying and what the majority of Leythers believe. That Gaz Hock is a volatile player who frustrates people (on both sides!) but that his talent usually outweighs the negatives that he brings to a club.
When he keeps his head down and just plays rugby as he did today he is a joy to watch and it is clear to see that he is far too good to be playing at this level. Although I accept that he only has himself to blame in terms of WHY he is playing at this level!
See you in the 8's! Hopefully at the LSV if we can keep hold of that top spot!
