| Quote ="morleys_deckchair"Well that was hard work... I think the most worrying thing for us at the minute is that teams seem to score against us every time they get a set within 20m of our line.... We are also conceding tries from distance. Its like pouring water through a sieve.
[uLeigh scored at will... a decent SL side is going to put a good 40+ points on us soon.[/u
Couple that with the fact that we have all the creativity of a dead pigeon and its looking grim.... On form i would say we are the second worst side in SL.
On the plus side, were through to the semi final of the cup.... But that really is the only plus side for me.
We best hope we draw Leeds in the semi final, as any of the other sides will give us a right spanking.'"
So what are you trying to say? Leigh are crap or something.

| Quote ="ratticusfinch"Well done kev and well done wire for rolling their sleeves up for change. Sorry if this annoys a few people but I wouldn't be sorry to see ratch leave. Yes he's got the skills but for me he has no position nailed down and as such means we always wedge him in somewhere. His fb defensive play is shocking and we could really do with a specialist back there. Well done Roy today and I thought sims led brilliantly. [uLeigh are a super league team in all but name.'"

Cheers pal.

Yes you're right, and also Leigh wasn't at their best today. So make of that what you will.

I'd hazard a guess that he was saying that Leigh aren't a decent SL side. Which is unarguable. Neither are Warrington at present, mind.
Leigh did pretty well today, but they're hardly going to tear up SL if they do come up. I hope they earn the chance, they played some impressive stuff, but they look a similar standard to Salford to me.

Nah mate,no problems,just a poor 20 minutes!..it happens

No you're probably right because we a championship side. However with quality recruitment with the bigger salary cap in SL next year we will rip you to shreds.

I can live with that comparison seeing as Leigh are spending half of what salford are spending

We're not a quality SL side this season, were woeful... Anyway, that wasn't even the point was it? I said a decent SL side would score 40+ against us... And you're not a decent SL side are you?

| Leigh looked more comfortable spreading the ball than we do. I quite like the way they play the game - (Big Bash weekend aside, not sure what hock or Fui Fui are offering them that ANO props would add, for far less.) I hope they get a shot at SL, the way they have dominated the championship means they deserve a shot.
They need to get used to the intensity SL can throw at them, we dominated for 20 mins or so at the start of the second half, the likes of salford, widnes, hull KR, even ourselves if we end up in the middle 8's will be throwing that at them. Even Wakey areal strengthening for the 8's.
They are good, but I think they will need to be SL standard for 7 weeks to make it through. They need to get better I think.

| I thought we were ok today. I've given up thinking we are a top 4 side that should be blowing a team like Leigh away. Hill, Sims, Westwood and dare I say it Asotasi were all good today - our pack won it for us.

| Leigh need an improved forward pack.
Very impressed with 1-7.
With a bigger budget next year if they get a couple top class props and second rower who as real SL/NRL fitness then they'll be even more dangerous.
We're not a top side but fitness was a factor.
Having said that even though we were really tearing it up in the 2nd half we looked vulnerable every time Leigh got the ball out wide.
And Brierley is faster than anyone we've got.
Now how about him and Ridyard in the halves for us?

| Just watched it, after a rollercoaster 24 hrs of life
Some great defence by Myler (but that's not what he's employed for)
Great broken play running from Ratchford. The best I've seen, since the likes of Woods or Blake. They were halves, weren't they?
Currie with two more tries, but they were "Johnny on the spot" ones. A good player with HUGE potential. I just don't want him to be another Sibbit.
FINALLY, a Man Of Steel like performance from a hooker. Pity he's been in London for a while.
My manlove for Penny remains on solid ground. Well done, Kevin.

| Ratch is copping a bit of flak for his defence and positioning, I'm gonna give him a pass as he was out there on one leg and wasn't going to be playing at one point.

| Great turnout by the Leigh fans, about 4k. NO SL side bring that many to the HJ. It made for a decent CC attendance (and atmosphere) for a change.

| I haven't even watched it back yet, but thoughts from the day are that it was alarming how much ground Leigh were making on their sets of six & i am very surprised we managed to stick with their speed for most of the game. It was a concern that Leigh scored so many points but we did manage to outscore them. I suppose we can take heart from the way Saints in the past won much silverware with a poor defence by outscoring their opponents,we just need to do the same.
