AGREE 100%. We are to reliant on Watson eventhough he's not the best in the world. We were absolutely clueless after he went off and all our confidence we gained in the first half went off the pitch with him.

I agree we did lose direction BUT with the amount of ball we had in first half we should have been out of sight and am sorry watto lovers theres no moves in the team and he must shoulder some of that responsibility.....we are awful attacking opponents lines!!
We need an overseas halfback am afraid someone new someone with pace...
Thats me knackered now have dared to question the mecurial watto!! ha ha

You say he was bad in first half dont agree and you must admit things went pear shaped as soon as he left the pitch we were like headless chickens you may think he is not all that but without him we are clueless

didnt say he was bad in first half i said we have a lot of possesion and he and the other "playmakers"" must take responsibility ....thre isnt a move in us and again twice today no clue on 6th tackle why???

Just to look at it from another angle, with a better scrum half and one more inventive player WE COULD, JUST COULD BE A VERY DECENT SIDE.

Beat me too it ! without Watto we are a rudderless ship! i'm not saying and never do that he is the best player in the world but he doesn't miss many tackles! Marsh was an embarrassment i'm afraid for someone of his size, now more than ever we need some new blood and quick, we must be the only team who c an't win at home

Perhaps the LSV may consider letting the team train there every now and then!

Maybe this signing could be the one but having said that Watto does'nt look like he is doing anything special but we did go to bits without him so he must be doing something right .

I agree . "BUT I WANT CREAM ON MY STRAWBERRIES NOT 3 DAY OLD MILK WHEN I PAY GOOD MONEY TO WATCH MY TEAM"

Stop shouting at me

Who would you suggest? I went to Widnes on Friday and big money/reputation signing Webster was rubbish! I' ve never seen Watson give anything other than 100% in attack and defence for any team I've seen him play for and, we can't be a better side with another scrum half because the other Players are rubbish! its probably the worst threequarter line at Leigh for years! Big signing Donlan is completely wasted/ineffective at centre, I like Ian Mort but Donlan [uis[/u a better fullback!

completely agree donlan has to play fullback we are getting nothing from him at centre...and i like mort to before the mob get on




watson....i dont know just seems as bad as rest at going forward..the ball we had in the first half was enough to win 3 matches..

"SORRY"

Agree with some of your comments but to say Webster is rubbish is a bit harsh, I would welcome him playing for us.

Totally agree that we fell apart when Watson left the field, which further underlines what a big asset he is to the team.
However there's a few points i'd like to make in regard to todays game.

1/ Why did the referee allow play to continue, when Watson was flat out with blood pouring from a gaping head wound.
2/ Why did N.K use up all his changes so soon? From what i'm lead to believe Watson was stitched and bandaged and wanted to come back on!

In conclusion - If anyone would have offered me 4 points from the 2 Easter fixtures before a ball was kicked, then i'd of gladly taken it!

Apollogy accepted

Well said.

We need to share the responsibilities around our 'play makers' as Watson dictates everything and this was shown when he went off. We need a stand off ASAP as Marsh was dire today.

I said Webster was rubbish because on Friday, he was! I've seen Webster in previous season's and he was outstanding. i wouldn't like Leigh to be currently paying Websters contract and, prior to Friday I would have agreed Webster was the better player!

Agreed that we were lost when Watson went off but we went down hill when Marshy gave the interception. What baffled me was. Why did Durbin not go to acting half back. Jock had a great game taking on the line today but he would have been better feeding off Durbin. Also some of Jocks passes were terrible. Having said that I thought Jock was in contention for MOM as well as Morty. There are lots of plus points to come from todays loss.
Up The Leythers.

It looked like Rourke who gave it from where I was stood.

Agreed about Jock, he had a hand in two of tries and look dangerous when he took the ball from dummy half. Durbin doesn't seem to attack the defensive line as much as he did pre-season, not sure why this is but he certainly is effective when he does it.

I said that but was told by everyone around me that it was Marsh. Didnt want to argue and look silly.
Sorry Marshy.

Got to agree about marshy i don't know why we had him, back he does not bring anything to the game,looks very slow and unfit,if he missed a tackle he wouldnt have the speed to catch anyone,got to agree about watson thought he controlled everything in first half,the way we played when he went off speaks volumes.
Also think stanton needs to be given more ball or given a chance at stand off.

Could be a good call. Lots of people calling for Donlan to go FB and i agree but wouldn't like to drop Morty because he's played very well and earned a spot in the team. Could go Donlan fullback. Mort and Alstead wings and Higson/Rudd/Reay as the centres with Stanton getting a go at Stand Off. Gotta be better than Marsh was today???

Would stick Morty on the wings at the very least. In attack, he's been our biggest threat in recent games and took his try superbly today.

We completely fell apart when Watson went off - take a look how many times we 'ran' the ball on the last tackle because they didn't have an organiser to construct the sets of six and weigh up when to kick. Also thought Marsh's kicking game was utter bobbins today, though Armistead appears to have a decent short-range kicking game.

Would rather have Ridyard in than Marsh. Lee looks alot heavier than he did last season and pretty clueless in defence and attack.

Ridyard can only get better with time and games, surely he's the way to go if we can't sign anyone with experience.

sorry but cant agree we are awful on the 6th tackle with or without watson and have been all season wouldnt like to guess how many times we have meakly handed over a ball on sixth tackle this season and did it twice today with the "organiser" on the pitch.
