No, we won't. We've been waiting all season to come good and we've thought the injury crisis was holding us back. We are back to full strength and don't look any better, in fact we are getting worse. No good attacking strategy, poor defensive organisation and no 'brains' - eg at one point today Robbie Paul was out on his feet after a big hit - WHY NOT THROW THE BALL OUT AND RUN AT HIM???? No, lets just keep bashing away up the middle. We constantly hold off in our defensive line - any half back looks amazing against us because they get all day to do what they want.
Cullen is constantly out-coached and out-thought, our players don't seem to know what they are going to do next. We got to the cup final on the back of an easy draw and playing Barrow when they were knackered after playing Saints. We might scrape 6th spot if we are lucky. And that is nowhere, nowhere near good enough.

| Must admit that I couldn't believe Widnes were persisting with going down the middle. It's been clear all season that we're pretty weak out wide, but our pack were awesome today, can't understand why Cullen didn't try to switch it around a bit.

He was in my opinion your best player against Batley and I'm just wondering whether he was able to back that performance up against Leigh.'"
Should have started (another lesson not learned from last week). And wasn't on long enough. Our best prop.

We play the same way each game. It's no surprise that the best coaches in our league come up with a game plan that beats us. We play like we have no idea what to do on the last tackle other than hope Thackeray (who's clearly unfit) can do a bit of magic. Stanton's try being a good example of this.

Thought Thackray was dreadful today. Looked completely devoid of ideas although it could be argued he didn't have the runners - he got smashed a couple of times because he was looking for a man on his inside that was never going to arrive.

| Why is it that Smith is been spelled now? It's bizarre, we're so much better with him on the field. Allen was throwing out silly passes all game, although some of them should have been taken anyway.
Flynn was great again, and I liked the acceleration of Marsh for his try.

| Smith should be your captain and your starting 9........ when he was directing your play in the 1st half you were dangerous......... don't understand this.

I disagree that Thacks was 'dreadful' today totally. He got us back in the game on his own with the long ball to Haggerty to make it 12-18 and then the little kick to Aincough to make it 18-18.
If Haggerty (Kurt) would have collected Gerrard's grubber close to the line to score it would have made it a 2 point game, not saying we would have won but 2 minutes later Leigh scored and it was game over.
Certainly didn't deserve to win, in the first half Leigh should have scored more as they created an overlap time and time again.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Their dummy runners were great as well, I was confused by it and I wasn't even on the pitch.

Just thought he was really predictable with ball in hand, AJ. Same old dummies and side-steps that can be read 6 months ago.

Once again, best support, most money, fantastic ground, crap first team.
Im not going Halifax on Thursday to witness another beating, our season is over.'"
you should still come, this is one of our big pay days for the season when you come calling
