| Great performance from 1 to 17 - a complete team effort - plus the 18th man in the stand. Brilliant.

| I think if Penky played for 60 mins instead of two 10 min spells then the game would have been a lot closer. I'm glad he never came to us as Bob is a better play in my opinion.

| Fantastic defensive performance, patient and powerful in attack. All around brilliance. Halifax were to hot to handle for 25 minutes, but we did handle them and put them to the sword after that.
Where are the Rowley haters tonight? One of the finest performances I've seen from a Leigh side.

| TV Boy i can guarantee to you Penky is easily a better player than Beswick. Funny how i was only reading on here a few weeks back that Beswick is never a number 9 and now he is a better player than Penky who is the best hooker in the league imo. Fairplay to you lot tonight tho i thought you were brilliant in defence making us look absolutely clueless. Number 14 Brierley looks like a good young lad i was very impressed by him. Mcnally always scores tries against us, he always did when he was at whitehaven aswell. Well played and i will look forward to next week, revenge is a dish best served cold.

You have never heard me say that about Bob and if you are only the best for 20 out of 80 mins you might as well be on the bench. Bob for me. I have watched Penky for a few years now and if the game starts to go against him he either starts to give stupid penalties away or goes missing. Bob can rally and keeps trying thats the sign of a better player. In my opinion that is.

| One proud man now at home after the game.
Duffy was brilliant until his knock and the conditions suited him, we had a few clowns asking for RB from the off but boy did we need Duffs defensive stint early doors.
RB came on and did superb, but Fax were dead by then and Ryan has the skills to take advantage.
Dont forget we had 2 subs, PRIDE PASSION AND GUTS IN ABUNDANCE
Brilliant great escape too

| I havnt heard you say it but that was the general feeling on the Leigh forum. Apparently Beswick is a loose forward every day of the week according to many on here. Trust me i have seen Bob and Penky play in the same team for several years and i would have Penky in my team ahead of Bob everday of the week. Penky carried us to the semi finals last year, something bob was and is never capable of.

| Really impressed with Leigh tonight, thought it was brilliant how you hung on in there in the first 20 minutes when Fax had all the ball and all the field position, think Leigh dropped out from underneath the sticks on six occasions.
You looked a threat every time you got near the Halifax line, could've been more but for a couple of disallowed tries. Duffy was running the show before he went off and I thought that might swing the momentum back to Fax, but credit where it's due there was only one side in it in the second half, until a bit of a crazy last five minutes.
I got a few dodgy looks punching the air every time Leigh scored denying them the failure point means we can go back top on Sunday now.
Thought your fans were great too, excellent backing in the second half.

tonight - irrelevant !
man of the match: Beswick, NOT Penky.
Challenge Cup game, might just be your no. 9 !

Cheers mate, I'm not proud of getting on Paul's back, I'm not normally a coach, or ref slater. But I'm wrong this time I think. The lads wouldn't play and commit like that, knowing there was another bigger game next week, unless they were coached well.

| Defence - EVERYONE deserves massive credit for that!
Attack - After the initial onslaught from Fax, Riddy and Beswick controlled the pace of the game with ease. Duffy (1st half) and Brierly (2nd) added that 'killer' touch to put a few tries in. Thought McNally chimed into the line really well too at crucial times. Obviously they were only able to do this because our pack was so dominant so well done to the forwards, they were superb!!
I feared the worst when Parker went off after about 12 minutes or so (and then Duffy too before halftime!!) but the 3 remaining props and the pack in general still managed to smash the Fax pack into the turf. Big mention for Tommy Goulden who I thought had a HUGE game tonight.
Think we showed real grit and determination tonight. I don't think many teams would have been able to withstand that opening 25 minutes from Fax, it was relentless but we just soaked it up and still had enough left in the tank to take them to the cleaners in the 2nd half.
Well done Leythers, great atmosphere tonight too, loved it!!

Not a great game at all, yer the right team won no arguing with that but the other team after an initial burst played very badly and the game was never close once Leigh got 16-6 up, so apart from Leigh fans it was not a good spectacle, knock ons galore and no stand out tries unless you watched a different game to me?

I disagree ...given the conditions it was a good game with an apt result ......... and plenty of well worked tries in bad conditions.

| A victory built on defence, no doubt about it. Absolutely unreal to withstand the pressure in the first 20 minutes and we coped with pretty much everything 'Fax threw at us.
Terrific performance all round. No chance I'm going to sleep while I've still got the Great Escape in my head! Let's all do the Leythers bounce.

No I disagree mate, 3 tries came from the slippery conditions (we lost the ball over our line) not that great rugby imo. No sour grapes we lost and deserved to as we fell way below our standards so far most of this season, I think this Cougar fan may be a little biased don't you think being our neighbours?
Hey come back after next week as if you beat us again then we will have to accept you are better than us. We shall see eh, personally I dunno as I am shocked how poor we were tonight and feel that we can up our game 75%, can Leigh play that well again?

| Exactly right Matt.
What a spirit from every single one of our lads.
When Parker went off and Fax seemingly camped in our 20 metre area for the first quarter I feared the worst and expected the dam to burst.
Dah da dad dad' dah da da da dad dah' da dah da da dad dah LEYTHERS my hands still ache.
