Quote: Chieftain McBeefton "Saw Panthers for the first time this year at Leeds tonight and very impressed. Attack is incredibly inventive, defence was only let down by pace and fitness today which is understandable given the gulf in class. very impressed with Holland, No.18 and my MOM for Blackpool was No.11, think it was Haggerty. Absolutely supurb and all over the field. Thought he had scored to put Blackpool in front early on as well but was held short. Great team effort and i reckon leeds were genuinely worried at half time.'"
haggerty was very good. i thought he'd scored too! holland looked like he isn't quite ready for that level of opposition but he'll learn and grow, but wigan's decision to let him play in the cup for panthers was justified. felt sorry for miller having to play against such a strong fast opposition when he is trying to workmhis fitness back. happy for ratcliffe with his try and ainscough was outstanding, making senior play his age rather than his size!
Great never say die attitude from your team last night against the SL Champions, nice to see everybody applauding the Blackpool team at the end of the game. Real good effort, well done Panthers.
