Can't find anything to argue with there GFB.

Peter Bird who does the Match Reports For Toulouse doesn't think they will make the Top 5

The first month certainly wrecked our top four hopes last season!

Charlie Caroli who does the Match Reports for the Tower Gazette does.

This could be a turning point.

Charlie picked a winner on Sunday.

Thank you Griff, I try to be realistic and felt 8 point win would be about right,as you say ,I’m improving.

I thought you were pretty comfortable in that game. The period in the middle part of the game looked like you’d run away with it and you probably would have done had you not made those changes. Should have been more, especially if you'd taken that second half attacking chance where you were 5 to 1 on McNally and managed to mess up.

If there are any weaknesses I thought it was your right side from kicks and maybe there was a little bit of ill discipline.

Yeah our discipline has been pretty poor so far this season which has not really been much of a problem before under Marshall. Against teams like Leigh you can probably get away with it but as we saw last week against Widnes if you do that against better teams, including Fev, Bradford, Toulouse and Toronto in that, we will get punished.

What a disrespectful comment.We will see where you are at the end of the season.

Did seem harsh that and may come back to bite unless he mean't you can get away will ill discipline against Leigh
as there's traditionally was twice as bad

I thought you would like it Charlie.

I found it quite disrespectful that you put ourselves and Fev in the same bracket as Leigh.

Early days yet.

BJ , that’s how I see it about returning to bite you,I don’t think we are any worse though , than the other teams with our Ill Discipline, granted Pownall deserved the response he got from his actions.But I enjoyed the game, not the Classic I hoped for but still a decent game.Good Luck for the rest of the season.

I put all the teams in the same bracket at the start of the season, how dare we have the audacity to beat Toulouse one of your BETTER teams, but we DID ,and will beat a couple of others before the season is over.
I realise I did forecast Fax and Fev to fight out 5th spot this season and I stand by that , but only my opinion, I don’t see Leigh any better or worse than other Clubs after 2 games.
Anyway I’m sure as the season progresses you will find your quote returning at some stage.
Enjoy the season should be a a Classic.

Very True Griff, very early , I however must applaud your own team in your impressive start,well done,it’s always good to see other teams doing well.Sincerely hope you have a good season.

Toronto v Widnes this weekend will be an interesting marker......

Its just banter Charlie, what I say and where i think we or anyone else will finish has no bearing whatsoever over the final standings. As I said on the leigh forum though I don't think Leigh will be within 6 pts of us come the end of the season. If it bites me on the ass i really couldn't give a rats.

We're better than last season, Charlie. But our next two games, against Bradford and Widnes, will provide a better marker of where we are.

Nobody loves banter more than me,so I accept that,and as you say you are full entitled to your opinion,I had a bit of wind up in the 3 pigeons and Vic bar before Sunday’s game .
We didn’t make a break on Sunday which was disappointing,after the Toulouse game,I think we will approach Sunday’s Fev game with different options.
Anyway plenty of twists and turns before the seasons out,have a good season,I’m looking forward to it, we do need a couple of additions however I’m just hopeful.

Well I was pleasantly surprised at both your results up to now ,Barrow is never an easy place to win at,I’m not sure how big your squad is , but at Leigh we need a couple of additions , as I said , I never underestimate anyone.

Never under-estimate the impact of two good half backs. Those around them, who maybe haven't stood out before, suddenly become players to watch.

Talking Toronto V Widnes

Is this in Canada as I thought all the games were been played in blocks but sky have them down as the home team ?

Being played in Newcastle,yes it's all bent as usual and not an even playing field.Widnes don't have the inconvenience of travel to Canada this season.

"All teams are equal, but some are more equal than others", to paraphrase the pigs, in Orwell's[i Animal Farm[/i.

However, Widnes could well suffer the inconvenience of playing several more matches than Toronto, if they enjoy good cup runs in the Challenge Cup and 1895 Cup - competitions which Toronto chose not to enter, or were not invited to enter!

Same sport, different rules. It's all getting farcical and makes you wonder if it's worth following the game at times. The Championship should be such a fantastic league this season but it's skewed up so much it's unreal. But some clubs voted for it so hey-ho, moan over. Lol!
