Maria is injured, Weston is only 30, and Stewart was one of the best players in SL last season

Iggy , Stewart may have had a great season in SL last season, he's done nowt this year though , supposedly our great White Hope ,a big let down for me.

And you are not smart enough to realise that this group is for grown ups and not the serial offended.

Stewart might not be living up to expectations, but he's a damn sight better than vea on the other side.

Weston did pretty well, shame he was sitting watching the farce of the first half hour. We all know about McNally's defence but didn't be get chance to make up for it in attack because he was constantly getting passes at head height or behind him. It's baffling that Reynolds is being expected to run the show when we have a half who is in his 9th season at the club alongside him.

Reynolds and vea out for me. Hampshire (assuming Drinkwater isn't fit) and Acton in, one of the middles will have to move to 2nd row

Well he's not played much for various reasons granted, but I assume you actually watch the game CC - the man is an organiser, constantly yacking, distributing, did 80 mins and puts a lot more into it and than Vea

Not really sure what people are expecting us to sign - reckon he will prove to be a bob on signing over the season

Not sure what your gripe is with the current set up, but you come across as someone who would love us to fail. Rarely if ever post anything positive - go lie down in a dark room and

He's played 2 and a bit games!

Stewart will come good, when he gets up to speed, after missing games. His tackling was awful last night - he must have missed at least ten - but class usually shines through and I'm confident it will.

Would imagine most people on here know who you are, and certain chunks of your past history - which is why, due to your previous links to the club and experience, I find it difficult to understand the attitude and tosh you have started coming out with in recent times

You assume right Col,I do actually watch the game, and I hope I give an unbiased opinion,which is why I don't usually criticise Refs,there job is hard enough.
I just feel after all the Hype we heard about his signing Stewart has been a bit of a let down , I realise he hasn't had much game time for whatever reason, but if organising and Yacking were all that is needed we might as well sign Harry Pinner and John Pendlebury again.I agree he did 80 minutes but so did Vea,I genuinely hope he does prove to be a Bob on signing,he's broke no pots yet though.

Finally a few decent posts above challenging the distorted nonsense from the frequenters. Keep up the good work... PLEASE!

"Sack Jukes, scrap the whole team, they are too old." A few defeats and your minds IMPLODE! How about focusing on the positives for a change - you may feel a bit better.

Two thirds of the season still to go, the injury and suspensions will obviously tail off shortly as they better acclimatise to Super League and the dry grounds will undoubtedly produce some exciting rugby league when it matters most.

1 x Goal for 2017 = retain Super League status and continue to build. That's a pretty good achievement if realised don't you think?

Ok, though the bit I took most issue with was the suggestion that injuries equated to not being tough enough. Very disrespectful imo. Also, Weston isn't too old, time will tell if he's good enough for SL but he did well last night.

If you'd said we'd signed garbage from saints and hull kr on the other hand...

I agree about Weston. He was good enough for the NRL, so he should come good in SL!

Iggy I agree Stewart hasn't had much game time ,for whatever reason ,I really do hope he improves,I hate seeing Leigh lose, but I think we can all see our performances need to improve over the next few weeks,,as well as our discipline,hopefully we can get Drinky back very soon, I'm not sure who his partner should be though.

And your point is what exactly - presume it will be summat to do with them being local players, which is fine and dandy, but we can't get a squad of em can we
And I don't think Riddy's stats for this season will be owt to write home about

Keith I agree Sam Hopkins has had a very good start to the season, and is a most underage player, for me he I a very good tackler and strike forward,I'm not sure about him being twice the player Gaz Hock is though.

That's a poor post! Gigot had a Drug ban overturned yesterday, the way he played last night he must have had some really excellent Tonic prior to the game!
There is no way Catalans have played like they did last night, previously, Gigot completely revitalised them however, to compare the returning McNally with him is grossly unfair!!
The people who have criticised Dayne Weston on here, didn't attend the game last. Weston was much like his old self and drove the ball in hard all night, definitely do for me!!
Our two playing Catalan connections, Stewart and Pelissier were both poor.
I'm more than Happy to see Gregg McNally back however, its time to drop Ben Reynolds! Reynold really is poor, he passes to people who already have tacklers on him

his field kicking is atrocious, one of our four coaches needs to spend time showing him how to kick the ball! better still drop him and put Ryan Hampshire scrum half he would have all over Walsh last night closing him down instead, we just allowed him to pick his spot!
Some posters have written off virtually the whole squad, mainly because they are from abroad, ridiculous


P.S. I liked old Benny Westwoods Tackle on Leeds Sutcliffe last night, just imagine Acton or Hock having made that assault? Ten Mins in the bin for Benny and then a four match ban next week, probably

If the stats for Riddy are that good then hopefully he will now get a good run in the team, reckon he controlled the game in patches yesterday, and IMO more capable than Reynolds of doing so

Think your a little bit biased on the Hopkins comment, may have his mad moments but Hock has been the stand out prop in a Leigh shirt
Hopkins showing he can more than hack it at this level, putting in the minutes and doesn't let anybody down- often wondered why he was never given a proper crack at Wigan

Keith as you know I always hold your opinions in very high regard,your knowledge of the great game is far better than mine,but as folk keep saying we all have opinions,and if all opinions were the same it wouldn't be much fun,with banter and the like.I'm sure as I do you will always give your opinion no matter what, and this how it should be .

There was a VAST difference, and whilst I have always liked GM, last night he looked championship standard.

You seem to infer TG has been "on summat" to put in such a good performance, he's just quality, and I don't think it was ever confirmed he failed a test.

Just the circumstances around it.

Like Sam Barlow's inappropriate behaviour towards a doping official? Bongser has never argued against that suspension even though Gigot got only about 5% of Barlow's. But, then again, he was not subject to UK Anti-Doping. If we are to allow more & more overseas teams into our leagues the same rules should apply - with the same officials.

Don't you think?

Nay B&B, surely you haven't unearthed an example of inconsistency in the world of RL, have you?

Not inferring anything, however, when was the last time Gigot played prior to Friday night? remarkable performance if he has not played for a considerable time! We all need to prepare for games the way he did, obviously!

Keith - i have a 1000% respect for you but who ever keeps telling you Neil doesnt buy the players is making you look silly. Neil chooses the players, picks the team and Derek doesnt.

As for Chase yoru right Neil didnt buy him, Paul did at the time..

Mr Chairman

It seems that anyone on here post a 'negative' about dB is deemed a liar. I see Ste is saying how wrong you are like he has done me about DB ranting at the players after the game on Friday.
When will some folk learn that they are being spun some yarn!
