You just got back? Bloody hell that was quick! I've just got back. I'll also do a full write up later, but I'm so proud of all of them. A truly heroic effort!
Well it was never going to be an easy game given the standard of opposition and the conditions, but I think we marginally deserved it, both teams dropped too much ball but I think we were more clinical with our chances, our scrambling defence was nothing short of awesome, and defending on our own line was also very good. Man of the match for me was Alex Rowe, several barnstorming runs and the try to draw level at 14 apiece. Barrow did a very good job on Menzie, can't remember him breaking the line once, however he made up for it with 4 or 5 HUGE hits, he usually does one a game but last night I think the frustration of not busting tackles got to him! Still think we're missing Misi, Tangi had a bit of a ter at full back a couple of passes wanged at Tim Bergin's feet and Joe Hirst dropped quite a bit of ball in the centres. All the forwards had good games and half backs were excellent as usual, especially our kicking game.
I actually think Halifax will be the easiest game out of Leigh, Barrow and Halifax, especially with their injury problems and the fact Sam Barlow can't play against us, hope the players haven't got this mindset though! Roll on Thursday.
Great effort from the team! Defence wins matches and it won us the game last nite. Last nite wasnt a nite for free flowing rugby with the wet conditions. We showed that we could grind out the win against a very physical barrow side. The whole foward pack was my man of the match. A passes went to ground when we looked like scoring, this balls have to stick sooner or later. But winning ugly is a skill that we have mastered in the last few games. Here we come halifax. BOOM!
