It`s true..........

26-28 at 4:24 according to the Leigh site hmmmmm

26-34 now, howell scores. Twitter has a few updateS on it

26-34 result

Given that they beat Salford a few weeks ago and it is our bogey ground it is not so bad. We had 8 new players to meld in but clearly the defence needs a lot of work! Once we get Purdo and Karl T back we should be alright.

hmmm worrying! we needed a good positive result here! Its a win but does not sound overly convincing!
Any news on other scorers, who played? General feedback from anyone that was there when they get home!!!

So what can we take out of this score until we hear from anyone who went to the game..

Ok from the score it was a close one. So do we worry that we couldnt steam roll them over and run up a big score. Or do we think a close run game like that is better for them. We mustnt forget that Leigh have had at least 2/3 more warm ups then us.

Myself i perfered the close one,for the simple reason if we do have defence problems in places then games like this that are close gives Powell more of a chance to see where are problems. And what certain areas in the defence that need to be work on before season starts.
Ok i can see if we had run riot then we could have had a chance to run some more plays. But as we dont get that many pre-season games then a good hard workout can only do them good instead of a walk in the park.

From looking at the scorers its good to see that the trys are coming from all the backs, so might show we are moving the ball out wide. We see what those who went have to say when they get back about that.

Only thing i dont get is and if HG is right, why leave out Bailey (unless he picked up a knock of course), if hes going to be one of our main players this season then imo he needs the game game to get use to the team and conditions here in the UK.

I popped over to the Leigh board to see if they had anything new to add, and according to one of their fans is take Dorn.Clubb and Wilkes out of the squad and then we dont have anything.

I reckon without Leigh knocking on 3 times in our own ten (all led to Quins tries) and Gorsky dropping the ball when two on one a few yards out, you really would have been looking for positives. Mr 'Halibut' was quite whistle happy and did not let the game flow. The comment above re beating Salford, they had seven or eight players missing. How many did you have missing?

1,6 and 3 were your quality.
Your pack was well beaten.
The ref gave you more than a shot, for the first 25 mins he piggy backed you every time we had you in the 20m. This gave you a 24-6 lead due to your forwards doing no hard work. Leigh got some ball late on and broke you at ease.
Score was very flattering to Quins.
Pryce was garbage

In a nut shell that Maur. In a nut shell.

We should hammer shoddy sides like Leigh to be honest. Could be a long season for us.

I'd agree , off today's showing , you will struggle IMO
