Said it a few times now but all 3 on the pitch just isnt working! But i also dont see the point in putting one on the bench. Not sure if Tony has an option with regards to playing bobbie but then i wouldnt see based on form how he could drop fawcett. So i have a feeling the situation won't change. Regarding yesterdays game i think it showed missing spurry and waterman and when kesik went off injured we just seemed to lose all sense of control over the game. The heads seemed to go down and never really picked themselves back up. The ref was poor but in fairness he was poor for both sides. Onwards and upwards for hunslet. We are a lot better than we showed yesterday.

Rugbyman wrote I had to laugh when leaving the ground, one of the Leigh fans said to a Donny fan "whats it like to play in a stadium" i take it the idiot has never been to the Keepmoat.

Paul Rowley quote in League Express 18th Feb about Leigh ground "the ground is unrivalled in our division and one of the best in the game ...."

They need to get out more!

Another Rowley quote, this time from the local newspaper, previewing the gameUsually home games are seen as an advantage but the Leigh boss is not so sure this week.

“They play on a similar pitch and have fantastic facilities, so it’s going to be a pitch that they enjoy playing on when they visit us,” he said.[/i

It would seem that he has been allowed out!

He must just have a crap memory then...

I still think the "three half back" set up can be made to work. Other clubs operate it with the 9 playing a half backs role.

I don;t think the problem is what number is on whose backs (forgetting squad number for a minute) but who can play with who. For some reason Cooke hasn't been playing as well this year as last, it may be still recovering from a bad injury, or that he hasn't been given as much space, or a number of reasons. If he had been I don;t think this would be a point for discussion.

However if we were to only start 2 of the 3 regular halves I would go with Cooke and Fawcett as I think Craig has shown more than Goulding so far this season from the games I have seen.
