Had a brilliant game not even talking about his kicking!! Mitchell looked quality cant wait to see the other two! Nanyn looked better!! Come on IM keep working your magic and come on you leythers!

Totally agree. Not been his biggest fan in his last few games but he was brilliant today. Keep it up Tim.

He had a great game when the players get up to speed and learn all the new lines and plays
that are coming off Hartley , Paul n Duffy we will rack up some points thats for sure..
But today the forwards where MAGNIFICENT defensively man for man they battered the Fev pack
and even tho Fev tried there best to slow the game down with constant infringments around the ruck the Leigh lads never once responded negativly and deserve top raps for a super game
WELL DONE TO EVERY PLAYER........

echo every word

Much improved from everyone today. Thought Armitstead was awesome today, nothin fancy but put a lot of graft in and no silly offloads!!

Agree with all this post lets have more of the same come on LEYTHERS.

one our best performances at the LSV !!

I'd it is our best performance at LSV, and our best since the pre Super League days (2004 and earlier)

Michael, I thought I was getting over excited and over reacting when I thought the same so I am glad someone is as mad as I am and on the same wavelength

echo what everyone has said tim was superb today

totally agree, im still buzzing from watching the game

We need more proof that the quality is going to stay, but as a one of performance it was magnificent.

Hartley was my MOM, but as a team it was great performance.

Usually at some point during the game both teams have the upper hand, but today we controlled the game from the first whistle to the last.

Well done lads, you've given us an indication of what you can do, keep up the good work.

If I was a young Leigh scrum half attempting to make my name in the game then I would be hanging on to Hartley's shirt tails, He's a tall lad, there is always a pass in him and he managed to get his hands through Fev's line on numerous occasions today. We could have scored even more.

A promising performance.

Tim has lost a lot of pace in the last couple of years due to his knee injuries. He has had to adapt his game and a lot of what he does goes un-noticed. His kicking game is excellent, he always finds the gap between winger and fullback. We have also seen today what a good goal kicker he is. He and Robbie were allowed to dominate today because of the platform layed down by the forwards.

Just been watching a Catherine Tate episode I taped a week or so ago.

On another thread I said about several players having their best games since arriving at our club.

Hartley well good



Play like that every week ie our team and I'll be well satisfied.

Tim was awesome today - in fact I can't fault anyone. From one of the worst displays I have seen last week to one of the best - thanks lads you've made me a happy guy this weekend.

i ave said before on the hartley v ridyard debate that tim was a diff class today he showed us what he can do class act was everywere

A half-back is only as good as the pack in front of him, and that set of forwards absolutely destroyed Fev today. Been a long time since we can say that.

Best compliment I can say about Hartley today is that he barely got his kit dirty - his passing and timing was spot on so he was very rarely caught in possession. Some say he needs to take the line on a bit more, but what's the point when a) his knee injuries have all but destroyed his pace and b) he can send the likes of Leuleui and Nanyn through gaps all afternoon as he did today?

Feel sorry for Ridyard,not done anything wrong but he is going to have to work hard to get back in to the team after todays performance.We suddenly have competition for places when you think who did not play today,Meakin,Mort,Higson,Durbin,Bibey,Nash and the other dual contract players.

We've lacked competition the past few years, and now we have it, it should give the lads an extra motivation. Especially when they know Basil isn't afraid to change them.

Thats only good in my opinion, lets keep it up come on Leigh.

Indeed what a difference a week makes....well done Tim and all the lads, best performance for ages, really enjoyed todays game.

As some of mentioned that was our best overall performance for quite a long time... The defence was top drawer and the willingness from the players in this aspect was awesome . Its been a long time since we`ve witnessed such a totally destructive defensive display against a top side.
Well done to all the players and coaching staff.......Very impressive to say the least.

Keep Hartley fit and he will go very well for you this year. He had his best games for us at stand off with his excellent running lines and distribution.
