After the L Smith dg the camera pans to B Smith and he can clearly be seen saying 'plan' into the mic. Still 12 minutes to go but he knew how to close that game out and the players responded.
That's the difference!!

First half bill topou goes on a rampaging run nearly gets head knocked off twice both ref and linesmen missed it , bloody bind officials!!

That's fine, we all have our opinions.

Good win in the end for Wakey, but both sides were poor for me, hopefully we will win tomorrow and that should help set things up for the 4/5th places, first 3 sewn up with Wid/KR and Salford.

Not having that either



Yet

Widnes haven't been tested at all yet.
I fancy us to beat them at Belle Vue and HKR may have other things on their mind.

Only SL teams to play each other are Salford and Wakefield so everyone else is still in question.

Hee Hee

I think they were for 76 minutes at the Shay.

Think we will do Widnes at home and the other two against fax and Sheffield. The cup could give us a win a kr. The knee to Smith's head was a red. Premeditated contact to the head is a red card in the rules. There could easily have been 2 other yellows as well.

Credit to Leigh for playing some decent stuff and despite our possession, they opened us up regularly.
Unfortunately for them, many of their beaks came from forward passes which were spotted by the officials.

A great effort to win the game and keep Leigh pointless in the 2nd half BUT, what planet was James Child on ??

The number of headshots by Leigh, none of which were punished was unbelievable.

I've never gone in for the conspiracy thing but, he was determined not to give us a damn thing in the 2nd half and credit again has to go to the players for plugging away and finally securing victory.

Job done KR next and they should be beatable, coming off the back of a Wembley trip.

I think 'Fax may not get there but will have a big say in who does.

We did enough to beat a very ordinary side whose main tactics were rough house ones then fling it about aimlessly. It is all they have and now we have a coach who can see that coming we knew how to handle it. But we will have to be a whole lot better in the upcoming games and i still think that we will finish 4th and be in that play off. We will though win it fairly easily.
