| Think it was Riddy and at the time thought it was the right thing to do. Didn't at full time though.

I know it's gone now - and it's all ifs and buts - but when was the last time Leigh "took the 2 points" when they were right on an opponent's goal line??
We changed our mentality right at that moment. I'd be interested to hear about who made the call.
And before anyone says the extra 2 points gave us a 3 score lead. I know that. But another[u possible try[/u and [umaybe[/u even more than one set on Hull KR's line [umight have[/u really finished them off at that point. Plus it would have given us a further confidence boost. 2 points so early was too negative, imo.'"
To be fair ant, You use the words maybe,possible and might. Those words can be used if the game went differently. e.g. Riddy kicks the two points we get the ball back,then a bit of champagne rugby,kay in at the corner,then Riddy does a great conversion,ball back and so on...............Although it didn't go that way,I won't be criticizing that decision.

| I agreed with the 2 point call, hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it? Given a different result the knockers would be applauding the taking of two points.

| A very tough game again at the weekend but one Leigh are more than capable of being competitive in.
Salford will be no push overs as they will be outright favourites to win (just as Hull KR was) but equally Leigh are no pushovers so its sits up as an excellent game.
I would imagine we will see a very good following from Leigh so should be a match not to be missed as despite the disappointment of losing a game on 73minutes to Hull KR it has to be said the LSV was rocking again on Saturday so lets take that support on the road again.
See you at Salford.

I questioned the decision at the time.
Some people on here really need to start reading all posts properly before commenting.

Quote ="ant7t2"[iAll[/i the matches have the potential to be very tough.
And Leigh can handle the pressure. First half on Saturday brought its own pressure but we were class. Second half was a different story but that wasn't about pressure. It was about switching-off and thinking we had the game won by half time. In fact, =#FF0000when we went for the 2 points penalty I was cursing. We'd decided to [iplay safe[/i at that very point (that's not Leigh!!). We had the momentum back at that moment and should have gone for the throat. It was hot, we should have kept the pressure on the Hull KR line, etc etc.
Concentration let us down in that second half on Saturday (same thing happened at Warrington first 20 mins of second half) but concentration is not something we've had to be big on this season. Many a time we've either blown teams off the park first half so matches were effectively over by half time, or our opponents have pushed us close (Halifax, Bradford, Sheffield etc) but they haven't had enough quality to finish us off (London aside obviously).
I've been to Salford this season (free match!!) and I believe we can win there. Our attacking play scares the life out of teams (Hull KR first half didn't know what had hit them). Opponents want to defend boring drives and a kick, they [idon't[/i want to be chasing Leigh around out wide or dealing with Hock and Barlow (even Hopkins, Emmitt, Moimoi and Wilkes!!) offloading to Brierley and McNally through the middle.
We need to continue with how we play, whilst also working on our concentration, which should then help us make better decisions when it really matters.'"
Well if you'd have read the above the other day you'd have noticed that I didn't post in hindsight.
The thing is, Mr Reffy, is that you're too quick to assume, my friend.
If you want to have a sly dig at any of my posts (like you do with a lot of other folk's posts, too, actually), then feel free, but get your facts right first.

| I do agree with what you said Ant about the 2 pointer,although it was the correct decision.What we failed to do was carry the same mentality behind taking the 2 points back to the field of play.
By taking the 2 points we were effectively closing the game off,so should have done the same when we returned to the half way line. As you said the mind set had been created by taking the 2 pointer but we didn't stick to it.

Yeah, most people around me said take the 2, to be fair.
I just remember thinking that it was a good chance to peg Rovers back. To keep the pressure on in front of that magnificent North Stand support. Taking the 2 relieved that pressure on Hull KR.
Ah well.

| If we win at Salford, do you reckon the 'various' Leythers who like 'slagging each other off' on here, might ease up for a few days. but somehow, I doubt it !

Bit embarrassing for me this one *as I previously posted about big numbers travelling to see Leigh away in the 8's*, I maybe should have curbed my enthusiasm.
Anyway, my point is, as salfordlad says, let's get down to the Council House at Brookhouse in big numbers hopefully, but I just phoned the Club about tickets for the Devils/Reds match & was told there are loads left, which shocked me a little as that away terrace at the ' Lean To' end of the ground is really quite small.
About 8 rows & then a cardboard wall I seem to remember *from when Leigh battered Salford & their Aussies/Kiwis in their 1st match at the ground*
Hope to see plenty of Leigh, Athy, Tyldesley & Lowton lads & lasses on the Salford Riviera on Sunday.
By the way, the French call it Ecc - Les' I believe.

In fairness I think the clubs is also learning with these fixtures and I'm sure we'll have a more structured approach for the remaining games with tickets available earlier with a bigger more public push on sales.
Didn't realise the Salford tickets was actually available until Tuesday and don't live anywhere near Leigh so its pay on the day for me and the family but ideally as a club we need to off load tickets early for all our games in advance as its easy to get out of a habit of attending (especially if its a new fan following us - football season starting and all that).
Still think we'll take a very respectable support to Salford and anyone missing it will miss a cracker.

| Wouldn't the away club have to wait for stadium allocation first? Are the tickets not already on sale for the Wakefield game! I don't know what the consequences of switching to online tickets would cost the club,but as you say the possible damage of not having that in place will cost more.

| The coach tickets have been on sale three weeks .
Due to drivers holidays and pre booked day trips in kids holidays the firms have limited numbers of coaches during the holiday period , the more time we can give the firms re numbers required the easier it is for them to get drivers hired in etc . When people insist on booking last minute it doesn't help at all .
I have been selling them after every home game and doing an evening in the wren besides the normal market stall sales do I have made it easy for people to book.
I put messages out when tickets went on sale I had to let firm know numbers by Wednesday of the week we play and people ignore it and want to leave it till the very last minute.
I can a accomodate everyone wanting to go on coaches if people book early .
There is about 12 seats available as I did manage to get another coach yesterday .
See Gillian on the stall please .
Halifax tickets will be on sale after our game next week as well as from Gillian from Monday next week .
Thanks lynda

| According to the M.E.N., Salford are narrowing the pitch for Sunday's game - this shows a sign of panic to me, they are obviously scared of our off-loading abilities.

Most of our offloads come from Hock and Barlow though. If those 2 are missing as suggested then our creativity up the middle takes a huge blow.
Got a bad feeling about this game. Hope i'm wrong

I have seen alot more Leythers car badges/flags in Atherton recently (one of the main reasons i moved )
Also why didnt the council come up with a better slogan than "Beleive in Leigh" surely BeLeighve would have worked a treat.
Good luck on Sunday

| Not convinced by the whole narrowing the pitch story at all, but I guess we will soon see on Sunday.
Looking forward to this one, it's been a while since we hosted Leigh at our own place. I think we've got a pretty full choice team to pick from, so no excuses from us.
