Awesome gutsy display from the lads it's this passion that makes me beLEIGHve we can do the double




Yeah he loved it a little too much

Well again Charlie knew , I predicted a Leythers win and probably the BEST tackling ive see for a few years , well done lads , im not Higsons greatest fan , but I must admit the Lad fully deserved his MOM , though he was run close by Tom Spencer .

PR was very impressed with our tackling and praised Spencer in his after match speech , apparently it was the first time the Thornilys had played o the Same side

, nice to see Sam Barlow upstairs

, cant wait for Swinton game , a quick message to Fax ,"WERE BEHIND YOU "



.

Yer your defence did well and you deserved to win but have to say Fax are toothless, so predictable and its been like that in many games all season.
Count us out for top and the Grand Final , it must be another Fev v Sheffield final this year and one of them for top spot.
We maybe need to look at our coach and ask what is he training them???
We had so much possession tonight but we never looked like scoring, the try we got wa sfrom a breakdown in play by you, only good thing is we have still not been nilled for 10 years now.

Sometimes you wonder why you have just done what we have done, you then watch a set of lads playing for peanuts put there bodies on the line to win a game they had no right winning and you realise why this club means so much to you
Thank you 1-17 for that tonight we have something very special happening and I hope we are all proud to play a part in it, one very proud Leyther is now eating his tea

Why we've beaten the pair of them when it matters & will do again

Maybe but on that performance I doubt it, sorry.
Not saying we will, not a chnce.

reet Marshy......as long as you don't 'maul' me with one of yer buckets !

Crystal Ball ????
But, I predict a repeat of last years final, Sheffield v Fev.
But you can't rule out Leigh or Halifax, but probably Batley (and whoever might finish 6th)

My belief ain't off that performance Fev or Sheffield on form would of took their chances tonight with the amount of errors we made but you did naff all with the ball (you should of kept Black). We've got big game players out injured add them to the team come play offs & we'll be very hard to beat anyone wrighting us of more fool them.

Quite possibly pal...hope we see a good game.

I've never seen a team make so many errors in a game but still keep a good side to 1 try, fantastic effort by our lads. If we can get a couple of players back in time for the play offs we'll take some stopping. Onwards and upwards leythers!

One man who went under the radar again was beswick, how many times did he have to take the first drive in due to having no props.
Great effort again bob

One guy who doesn't get much mention but never lets us down is Andy Thornley.

Well as I have put on another thread I thought the defence was exceptional ! both teams defended well but Leigh that bit better . The way the lads are prepared to play for one another is second to none and after Mcnally scored you could see how much it meant to each and every one of them ,you would have thought they had won the final all over again !All the stay aways don't know what they are missing and more fool them .I only feel pride for this team of lads and to do what they did last night and then then still have to go to work is nothing short of amazing

If Fax can get the go-forward we know we have, I am sure we will have a good shout again this year however Handforth is stealing a wage and Ashall, well, I am sure I could do a better job at 37 and having not played nearly 20 years - dreadful.

HOWEVER - our forwards are the best in this league I feel and we are SO close to being a top side.

Don't get carried away leathers, you weren't that good to be honest. We were shocking - BUT best wishes for the run in. Top fans!

Love that quote!

Agreed - and also good to see young Briscoe back in the mix as well - another who just gets on with the job.

He was my mom last night

Thornley is a good solid utility player & the way he played at Hunslet IMO he would do a good job at centre if need be. He'll certainly be needed with Bates ban coming in & Parker's out for weeks supposedly too.

Don't think you can underestimate McNally's contribution either. He took a real battering with the kick returns but kept going all night, and did remarkably well to prevent a repeat set on a couple of occasions.

Indeed Marshy....if you can beat Fev, you can beat us. It's not like it's our HOME ground.....it's yours also !
We should win, but not easily.

how long has it been since weve had a player who when he gets the ball the crowd rise.now we have two.if ryan gets it you expect a break or a try.if tom gets the ball he just wants to run through a brick wall.every time he got it last night you could hear the crowd lift and shout him on,great days are on the way back sign the lad up.as for the rest of the team everyone to a man make me proud to be a leyther with the effort they are putting in...cheers lads and may it long continue

This was my first game for a few years, and what a game it was, credit to all the players in a brutal game, I've not seen such a solid defencive display in all my 29 years. It was that immense I've still not gotten my voice back!

Welcome back Rob.
