Wonder who Watson will blame if they lose. Be wary Leopards, Watson will be taking notes on all incidents and warning the Review Panel who they should look at. He's done it for the last 2 matches after all.

Thought Halton had a torn pec. Surely he's not back from that already?

Cheers, Cokey.

time flies that was around 12-14 weeks ago...

Hoping to catch internet radio coverage on a very spotty wifi while we are traveling on hook Id at in the Gulf Islands.
Come on you Leopards.

Forgot to say, I’m predicting a big response from the lads in this one. Hudds have been playing well lately so no way task but this is where we get back on it.
26-14 to the good guys.

We were leading, Vanners, but Wigan Met intervened!

I had the commentary going loud and clear, enjoying Riddy and the scoreline. It sounded like we were the better team but got caught napping a couple time for their tries.
Makes our run in now a little harder to replay the game unfortunately.

At last a sensible decision from the RFL the game to be resumed at 3 tomorrow with score at 16-12 with 32 minutes left.

What can’t agree with Derek is with his praising of the LSV management on dealing with the situation. What we got for over an hour was one barely decipherable message saying they are dealing with the situation, and the two short messages that could not be heard properly and were inaudible. Then to put the tin hat on things we the had loudest musical drivel to drown out the boos coming from the patient crowd. Amazing how the musical entertainment is clear as a bell while the announcements can’t be deciphered!!

The power failure highlighted how poor the sound system is. We were literally left in the dark by minimal announcements that were garbled nonsense.

STOP PRESS:

NEVER HITHERTO SEEN OUTBREAK OF COMMON SENSE AT RFL.

Nigel Wood & Ralph Rimmer declined to give comment as they are still searching for the dummies that they spat out on hearing the decision.

Two trips out over the weekend, I can get excited about attending another game. It is going to be 32 minutes with both teams going hammer and tongues because they do not need conserve energy for a 2nd half.

A bit of history in the making, no doubt Mike Latham is writing it up as we speak.

Not sure this 30 min session is going to be in our favour to win this game - it’s basically now 2 teams giving there all, no real need for interchanges. Over 80 mins reckon we have too much for Hudds, despite it being close I never thought we were in danger of losing now I reckon it’s 50/50.

Appreciate it’s also about fitness and recovery time for the saints game as well but beat Hudds and Wakey and we finish 4th pretty much nailed on - I reckon we’d have been as well doing the 80 tomorrow.

4pts and 5 tackles on their 20, I will take that. Statistically I believe Leigh (2nd) score more in the 1st Quarter, meaning we like to come out of the traps early. It should be high octane stuff.

I,d have to say this favours Leigh , Leigh played at a pace that Huddersfield didn't like and even though the score didn't reflect it I'd say we dominated in that opening 30 .Also plus points as well being they lost hill so possibly a fair chunk of go forward missing for them , we start the game with the ball in a good spot and even with asiata off the field that's ok he can come on after the opening few minutes of absolute frenzy

Job done.
Well done to the boys under difficult circumstances. The first set a subsequent set did not lead to a score, but they kept up the pressure and got the job done. Two points but more importantly turned over a form team and back in a winning mind set.

Now its complete I suppose its time to review this rather surreal experience, though to be fair, Sunday's conclusion more or less carried on where Friday's had ended, in every way.

Leaving the ground on Friday early, chancing it wouldn't ever get restarted I thought we were the better team and the score line was a little, only a little mind, flattering to Giants. It was a fairly even contest up the middle, though them losing Hill probably helped us a lot. Ikahihifo for them really stood out. They played very good expansive attacking rugby but the same couldn't be said for their defence, the main worry was if Josh would have his two tries chalked off.

But I felt the most sensible decision was made overall to restart the match where it had finished, if anything I hope the lady who had to stand on the pitch next to the ball should play resume on the night gets some extra pay.

Today was just more of the same, I felt that the short time remaining and the way we'd played in the previous 50 minutes would be to our benefit and so it was. We played with good speed in attack and it is good to see us able to score from all over the park again.

I'm most intrigued to see what happened on Friday with Ipape's attempt, which wasn't a try but was a drop-out to us, puzzled what would have happened.

A few issues in our defence need sorting but it was good to get back to winning ways.

I don't see a win against Saints and nor do I care, it should be more about nursing the squad through the last few matches and keeping the fit and at a level to give the play-offs a good shot. I expect our upcoming match will be played up as some kind of grudge match following the semi, but I think too much time has passed for it to be the possible violent, grubby affair it threatened to be (though with with Lees and Knowles on the pitch you never know).

At the start of the season, i think everyone's expectation was to stay up. We now have one hell of a trophy in the cabinet, and currently sitting in the playoff's. The heady days of travelling away to the back and beyond on a cold winters night while sitting in the championship seem a distant but fond memory.

I tip my hat to all that have got us here.

It was a game of two halves. Observations of the Leigh attack, still clunky with a couple of handling errors, easy tries for Ipape and Asiata, the later because we kept the ball alive. Superb poachers try from Lammy jnr. Impressed with Frankie Halton who offers something different and looked incredibly happy to play for his hometown team.

On the negative side Reynolds still missing one on one tackles, he gets shrugged away when attackers hand off. The right flank is incapable of dealing with 5th tackle high balls, not contesting and shepherding to assist Briscoe and O'Brien. In fact, this was Huddersfield only attacking option. Expect a plethora of bombs in future games.

15 wins in the Super League (and a Challenge Cup) is a tremendous achievement. A play-off spot is almost guaranteed.

Delighted to see the team acknowledge that there are Leigh supporters in the East stand.

Quite.

It's a bit flippant of me to say I don't care, I do obviously but not at the expense of injuries and not when we're already 2 wins out of 2 vs Saints this season anyway, something I never would have expected at the start of the season. But then again there is a lot I didn't expect and its all good.

Agree with this and having just re-watched the Wembley win for the umpteenth time that is exactly how KR got that try in the last seconds, in fact over recent weeks we've let in numerous 5th tackle tries simply by falling off tackles or being completely asleep.
