Words don't do this man justice? He is poor!!!

Feel sorry for super league fans putting up with that crap every week! Allowing wire to slow ptb every tackle and pinging Leigh every time! Missed cannonball tackle he has now put on report! We're getting beat by a better team that don't need no help from that prat!

and the excuses begin lol

Excuses?? We are getting beat by a better team it says that in there you clown! Just asking for a bit of fairness Warrington got on a roll due to the quick ptb and nobody is going to stop that they look the part!

Oggy, this post is just more ammunition for folk like biginjapan1970. It's a friendly, they beat Widnes 40-0 away 2 weeks ago. We'll get stuffed in a friendly, and the ref is a *&^%, so what !
Admittedly I'm not at the game, but will be at Batley next week as it's a meaningful match....

I'm not saying we would be winning or even close but you ask for a bit of consistency in the desicion making, eorthington and McNally both gone off to serious looking injurys

Batley v Hunslet in a pre-season game next week. How meaningful is that - especially to a Leyther!?

Cheers Alan.....

What look like bad injuries so early in the season are we going to rue not having a reserve team

Hope they are not too serious. However, we do have a squad to cover some injuries - e.g. Pownall for McNally and Armstrong/Pala to cover Worthington.

You're welcome! I pride myself on knowing when we play - however, if you were to ask me what day it is.............

Worthigton copped mcnallys knee on noggin think eorthington will be ok for batley, mcnallys could be a bad one looked in a bad way! Will miss McNally a lot pownall positioning at Fullback was awful

Tonga out awaiting an operation

McNally out for 8 weeks medial damage. Worthington has concussion and Willie Tonga out for 8 weeks, has an op booked in for next week.

McNally out with medial damage according to Rowley 6 to 8 weeks

I think Leigh were disgraceful to day hitting the Warrington players arm with their heads how many times did mr child's have to speak to the Leigh players for that

Well that was a tough afternoon.

Players were dropping like flies. McNally and Worthington going off early badly affected our game plan. Could prove to be a costly afternoon on the injury front!

Ryan clearly isn't up to speed yet. I imagine the idea was for him to play the last 20 mins but Rangi being out meant he had to start. He just couldn't seem to get into the game at all.

Defence out wide was very poor, our handling was awful and the number of offloads we allowed Wire to get was embarrassing.

Took us 26 minutes in the 2nd half to complete a set of 6, completion rate was beyond bad.

McNally and Tonga both out for a good while. Worthington looked in a bad state and somebody (Higson?) copped a nasty cannonball tackle. Would expect the culprit (Clark?) to get a ban for that.

Not many positives from today. Hock and Dixon went well, Higham and Weston looked the part too.

Wire looked very strong, Ben Currie tore us to shreds today.

Child is a to$$er and agree about his reffing of the PTB but we had much bigger problems than just the ref today.

Hopefully can act as a reality check ahead of the Batley game. Hopefully we can get Hansen, Beswick, Maitua and Chase back in for that game.

Don't be daft players getting banned we all know it's open season on Leigh players hence all the head tackles

Not bothered about the high tackles we gave as good as we got and got away with a few!! It was the difference in the ptb! They got on a massive roll and we couldn't get the defensive set! They really did look the part today wire! Speed all over the park and defence was very good out wide! Hock went really well today as did Weston he could become a hero at Leigh!! Bad un about McNally! As I mentioned pownall positional sense was shocking! Do we try Ryan at 6? Riddy and Ryan looked very lumbersome today, days like that rangi will come into he's own with a bit of the off the cuff stuff!

One thing that wound me up at the time, i was genuinely concerned and shouting at the field was Worthington's injury.

He lay there, didn't twitch, didn't move a muscle, completely lifeless and it took way too long for ANYONE to attend to him about a minute close to 2.

I feared the worse at the time.

You can't blame Child for everything , he didn't miss any tackles,we were beaten by a better side and injuries disrupted our team plans,I thought Higham was our MoM,and Hock had a blinder took a lot of stick,I still think some of our players are not SL standard ,but we won't play Warrington every week , we must base our season on getting to the middle 8s and then moving forward, Brierley again tried everything ,he was making the Tacoles as well.
Hock for me was so committed he had a right go at 2 Leigh player's who missed tackles resulting in tries , if the Wolves hadn't dropped so much ball in the last quarter we could have been facing a 60 point defeat.
Still it won't be like that at Batley,I could be wrong here but I think that's 2 games now without making a break, none today,and I don't remember one last week.Will I be at Batley?Of course I will I'm a Leyther.

Ian I have to agree with you there. That's one thing I actually said at the end of the game, we haven't made any breaks. Is it something to be worried about? I'm not sure at this point in time.

Not really something I'm worried about! You don't keep breaking super league defence willy nilly! Our handling was just to slow today nobody straightened the ball to stop the sliding defence so Warrington just drifted with the ball!! We won't come against that every week I really think batley will cop it in 2 weeks time!

Don't think anyone is (or could) blaming James "mind of a" Child for the result or even the magnitude of the result today. However once again he showed how totally inept he is. Wire were constantly roughing it up in the tackle and putting in lots of high shots, Child never spoke to Warrington but was constantly in the ear of Higham and Hock clear he had no idea what was going on on the pitch (as usual) which is why it all became a bit bad tempered. Watched a few Miners games last year & honestly the NCL refs were a far higher quality then Child, it beggars belief that he remains a professional ref when there's so many refs so much better at all levels of the game. Before the usual ref defenders start I know I wouldn't be good enough to do it, if only James Child was as good at assessing his own abilities we'd have far more entertaining and fair games.

Well I certainly agree with you with that post LS.
