We lack linebreakers when Azuie is not on the pitch, Barlow can do it but is not close to being fit yet.

What I'd like to know is why have we got a 6 playing at 7 and a 7 playing at 6?

Thackery can create naff all at first receiver, he's very much a Danny McGuire player. On the fringes when he's given the ball with time he can be devastating but when he's tight in the middle he can't create a thing. Handforth is a 7 but has been near shambolic these last couple of weeks, his defensive frailties have been cruelly found out when he plays 6. Get him tight in the middle of the field working the forwards enabling the space and time Thackray and the outside backs need.

Aizue couldn't break through a paper bag against Leigh in the first game and Barlow undos all his good work with ball in hand with his brain dead, stupid, needless penalties.

To me the whole game swung on not taking 2 points at 16-6, Leigh fans by me could n't believe it, neither could I. If we took that then we were in the driving seat and a drop goal from there on would have sealed it. Leigh visibly lifted when we knocked on.

Barlows footwork is unreal for a big lad and he looked fit to me parker dickens howison props like that cant get play the balls like sam,also good to get morrison back he will be pumped for fev next week

On Radio Leeds Karl said he advised go for the try as he felt one more would kill Leigh off.
I think he got it wrong as like last week when on top we should have kept the scoreboard ticking over, if its a penalty in the corner less kickable then yer go for the try, but a penalty in front of the sticks,take the 2 points. I thought it might hurt us later and it did!

Yep







It brought out a lot of emotions in me, as you can see.

Thanks for asking mate.


Todays local says no break but still badly swollen, ligaments carry their own lengthy layoff depending on the seriousness.
To be reassessed over the next week or so once the swelling goes down.
Here's hoping it's not too bad.

Talking to a Physio tonight and he said that badly sprained ligaments cabn take longer than a break

Indeed they can, and if worse than sprained (I know, I snapped my ACL), then that'll be it for the season. Hopefully just a minor sprain and he can get back training soon.
