| Could be critical about a few things today but we needed the win and we got it.

| Think your been a bit harsh there FickleFingerOfFate Think one of things that made it closer than it should have been ,was when leading 18-8 through good rugby we made a good overlap and Kershaw was not fast enough to get in the corner .A score then and think it was game over Not having a go at Kershaw, he as done well

Not sure he wasn’t fast enough, he simply didn’t back himself.
That opportunity needed taking.
Will probably cost him his place in the team next week.
He needed to pin his ears back and go for it rather than cut back inside.

| Lets be honest though we are not going to trouble the top 4 or 5 sides (starting Friday night ) but 3 on the the bounce is a great moment for the club

He did the same last week too.
He has 2 choices - don't hesitate and go for the corner, or march over the top of the sole defender - he did neither.
In either case, if the defender gets you, well done them - but make them do something!

Duffy going probably did make a difference but I do think that is a very small part compared to the ability of the players at Leigh.
They are no mugs and have played well without getting wins.
They had 2-3 players that were outstanding today. They just couldn't quite do it for the whole game.
I don't think we played that much worse than we did in the previous 2 games.
They shut our play down well and worked hard in a pack that was just outnumbered in size. Obviously we lost Kelepi which would have made a difference but Big Dave ultimately topped the balance as they found him difficult to handle.
I thought Mellor was top draw for them today.
Their right side caused us some problems until we started to get it under control.
A good win for us when we needed it.

| Next week we play a club which appears to have some internal problems so giving us a chance, slim but a chance. We saw what Castleford did so hopefully we can duplicate the same, well as near as possible.

| I find the new coach syndrome a bit of a myth. You only ever hear about it when the teams wins, never when they lose. Leigh’s performance and nothing to do with Duffy leaving, they’ve pushed better teams than us close this year. I think we underestimated them and made too many mistakes, but even then we had enough quality to go on and win. Not the best game today, but the it’s the result that was important.

Was right at the side of kershaw and IMO not a cat in hell of going in at the corner ,too far out with onrushing defence ,so did the right thing and came back inside,

Totally disagree we should have beaten them a but easier, we coughed the ball up early in the tackle count on 5 occasions in the first half. We got about 8 plays from them and gave Leigh 30 plays. The mistakes really cost us in the first half and kept Leigh right in it for the second half. We have to cut down those mistakes, it was hardly a rainy day when one expects a few mistakes instead it was a perfect day for ball handling and we were not very good for part of the game.

I almost agree apart from a few unforced errors that were no there in previous weeks. Added to that the unfortunate Kershaw inability to score what would have been the killer try.
Otherwise we played well against a surprisingly free flowing Leigh, who offered far more than Hudds.

But that’s clearly wrong. Leigh under Duffy had similar results against Wigan to name but one. In fact they have not been easy beats for most of the season.
They played with marginally more enthusiasm perhaps but that’s all.
You were wrong to start with, then after a few minutes you couldn’t wait to gloat and then you looked silly by the end.
I stand by my point, you seem to get a perverse joy from negatives. I don’t get it because I’m convinced you’re a 100% genuine fan unlike some on here.

My mate who was stood near the south west flag doesn’t agree. Kershaw may not have made it but TJ and Kay would and there is your problem.
