Dave Alstead is a good player when he shows self belief,to me there is something on his mind as though hes not happy with his rugby,i dont know,but when he wants to Dave can be a very good winger Cmon Dave show us what you can do.

We are missing Alstead at the moment. He is a sound performer in this division. We missed him last season too when he was injured for quite a few games. However, when he came back for the run in last year, he really helped boost us. We won a significant amount of our games in the run in last year I believe. Let's hope it's the same this time around. Hope you are back soon Dave.

I’ve posted before the Aussies have the view there’s no such thing as a poor offload, if you throw the thing backwards, its up to one of the other twelve to catch it, or at least be there to stop the opponent, we prefer to blame the passer.

They'd probably change their mind if they saw Bibey's

It might as well have been a knock on as much as an offload. The technique of it was completely wrong, any supporting player would basically have to run over the top of him to get it.

Didn't it go about 10mtrs backwards into an empty area - the Fev player just ran forward, scooped it up and the rest is history.

My view of it was that it flicked in to the air at first and only went behind him for Briggs to pick up once it had bounced a couple of times. There again, I was watching from behind the sticks after a couple of pints

Thats what I saw! The Fev player was just miles quicker getting to it than we were which is scandolous considering it was closer to our players

I've been criticising Bibey most of the season and on here as well. I don't see what he's doing for the team and my brother who goes with me and some guys I know at work don't think he punches his weight either. Can't remember him breaking a tackle in the home games or making many yards. Somebody in a Leigh should have collected his pass at Fev that could have happened to anyone.

I agree with regards to Alstead, I can never see the good case for dropping him. The way we play he rarely sees the ball playing on the wing anyway, I personally think he's a better centre than winger.

for what ever reason,alstead does'nt seem to have played much since he got sent of a few week back.

Yeah I noticed that J.C. it was like he was out of favour after the Sheffield game. Only Millward know's the real reasons but Dave's a big miss for me when he's not in the 13.

Unfortunately I can see him being allowed to find another club in the off season if Millward is still with us but for me he's being under used. We don't get the ball to our wingers often enough as it so I think he's a bit wasted at times.

totally agree i think he has the potential to be a world beater in this divison with his power i just think he is worried about getting injured like last season because a couple of years ago he wasa like an extra forward the way he ran the ball in but with lightening speed to boot. But i still think he is reliable in defence & definately should be in 1st team if available
