Listening to the match on radio (result 19 - 1icon_cool.gif is Barlow suitable for inclusion in the team when it is a key match. He is on report for "biting" and drops the ball on most occasions. It was his error that lost us the game.

What a complete load of boll*cks.

You did try to force the pass when field position would have been the sensible option.

I did!?

He was bitten, not put on report for biting. Sam was one of our best forwards - drawing in defenders and always making the half break. To say he cost us the game is complete nonsense.

Spot on enforcer, Sam was reporting being bitten and retaliated. He played well today and was not the reason We lost. Our half backs were second best and without ref bashing, Bentham was a joke. End of

You win and loose as a team

I don't think your front row is your problem. You need to look at your 6 & 7 who lack any creativity. Your forwards held their own against a good Leigh pack albeit blighted by injuries, your halfs kept directing play up the middle when your backs were screaming for the ball.

Funny how fans see things differently. Bentham is getting slated in the pubs in Leigh as we speak, for favouring fax!

I was at the game and Barlow was by far our best forward. They could not hold him and overheard Rowley at the end saying how destructive he is. He is by far our best prop. He was our stand out player do stop talking nonsense.

Fax were great first half but poor second half. Up the fax!!!!!!

Barlow was one of the few who actually turned up today!

He was very good and I feel with more fitness he will be the best prop in the league. A friend of mine who sponsors him
Said he fax through and through too.


Let's get behind the lads!!!!!

I thought he gave some awful calls and most were in your favour.

He made a mistake, and ultimately it might have cost us. However, he was defo one of our best players today.

Karl has shored up the defence, but we look pretty one-dimensional and lacking in ideas when we get in the opposition 20 (when we come across a well-drilled side like Leigh).

We had the lead, and let Leigh back into it. If we'd scored first in the 2nd half, the story would probably have been very different.

Bentham was inconsistent, and generally had a poor game, but didn't favour one side over the other.

Yep, It's a strange world we live in, maybe us lot have just spent the afternoon in the twilight zone, probably explains why the game finished over an hour ago and we have just got out of the car park. Life is strange sometimes, the ref didn't favour us, honestly.

Fair play, Leigh deserved to win, we were second best in a lot of areas but hey ho, we start again next week

beaten by a dull 'one out rugby' Leigh side, we lost it they didn't win it.

If we could of only expolited their weak young winger more in the 2nd half we could have had the game killed off.

Barlow, although dropped the ball in extra time, was easily are most dangerous forward will be massive for us when he gets fully fit.

Our,Leigh, gameplan was poor today. I feel the conditions made Rowley feel we needed to play that way, we don't and Brierley coming on upped the tempo until we decided to play hang on RL and that almost lost it.

hold on!

how can you comment on a players performance making such judgements when you failed to attend the match?

You spout s h i t e.................

you mean like one of your recent posts

No-one can blame Barlow when he dropped the ball - that didn't cost you the game. Not taking the 2 points in the 1st half and going for the line cost you the match as the goal to make it 18 all in fact would of been the match winner.

Who ever decided to run the ball needs to admit it was the wrong decision and apologise to you guys.......P.S. Barlow was the best forward on that pitch today - runs hard and is a beast.

See you in the league fixture at ours and good luck against Fev next week.

Barlow would be in my 17 every week. Local lad who really cares about the club and runs his blood to water. He does have brainfarts and does get over excited/frustrated but thats because he wants to do so well for the club. Personally I want that type of man in my side. Sam probably tries too hard at times and thats where most his mistakes come from. I dont think you can knock the bloke for me and we all make mistakes and sadly for us and Sam he did make a big one at the end but a game is over 80 minutes not over a couple of seconds. Keep going Sam some fans appreciate your hard work and love for the club.

I'm not sure if we were all watching the same game!

Barlow is our best prop FACT!!!
Makes yards easy, hits hard and is my first pick of our props.
Come on fax let's up the game and win the lot!!!!

Sam played well and was not his fault we lost. How can Leigh fans say cheat bentham favoured us? They must have been watching a different match.

Good luck in next round leigh you will need it
