Superb win Leigh. Defence excellent. Gutsy, organised and no lack of skill. Well done!

I said something similar at half time. Our defence had been so incredible in that 1st half that if we had tired and let in a couple of late tries to lose I would still have been proud of the lads. As it happened we DID let in a couple late on but not before we had blown Fax out of the water!! Hopefully we can show the same sort of determination again next weekend!!

So last time Fax were under strength, this time the weather was against you sounds like excuses to me.

Well Done Leigh that is a fantastic win for you boys, I hope we can do a similar job against Fev on Sunday.

I have to say the commentators on Premier thought it was a very good game. Even your ex coach.

It looked a great game to me too from where I stood.
WE wont have Spencer or Laithwaite for the CC game, but I suspect Taylor and Bibey to step in.

Outstanding defensive effort from Leigh in bad conditions play like that for the rest of the season and we will be adding more silverware to the A Cup from last season..
WELL DONE LADS

Sounds like a Mutant to me.



Excellent performance, credit to everyone of them and top marks for Rowley and the coaching team, he sent them out with a clear game plan, and they stuck to it, even the early onslaught, losing Parker after about 15mins, Duffy just before HT, even the weather, didn’t distract the lads from the task.

Well done more of the same next week please.

I think you need to pay credit to the fitness of our boys, after that 20 minute onslaught you would imagine the energy levels to go from the team doing all the defending. Not so last night!

Could pick good contributions from all the 17, but I think we will really miss littler if he's banned for the CC.

I thought that was the best Leigh performance for a long time.
It wasn't flash, but it was controlled, well drilled and excellent execution of a game plan.
And a fantastic defensive effort.
According to Karl Harrison, Halifax were 'ill' and under prepared.

on the forum banner its say four championship players charged, Littlers name wasn't on, so fingers crossed, however Spencer and Laithwaite can't play, so lets hope Bibey, Parker and Taylor can.

Fantastic performance - well done lads



As well as Bibey / Parker / Taylor to return we also have Nicho.



Just one minor thing - the number of forward passes from Beswick from acting halfback to a player who has over run him. Twice last night and a couple against Hornets last week. I am convinced that we are the only club in RL to get penalised for forward passes though.

Great win at Fax- Defence superb (until last two minutes!). Am a big Riddy fan BUT STILL reckon we need to find another more reliable goalkicker

I agree. We may come unstuck some games.

McNally a far better goalkicker.

I think Martin Ridyard just needs to take his kicks more seriously! Goal kicking does win games and, I would advise him to seek some advise on his technique and attitude to the task! I'm a massive fan of his playing ability and its no coincidence he is more involved when Duffy is not Scrum Half! I would advise Paul Rowley to let Brierly retain the Scrum Half job, all this rubbish about being too young dosn't wash! Paul should remember when Steve Simms came to Leigh, he took one look at the 1st team squad, decided they were not good enough and, immediately promoted three 17 year olds! one of whom was Paul himself and, he never looked back from that!. We saw on Sunday what Ridyard & Brierly could do,Duffy does have a place in the squad but, it has to be at Hooker!

Maybe he needs a master-class from Turley......now that lad could kick goals - and knew all about doing it under pressure as well!!

I get what you say about Brierley, but it could be argued that having Duffy on for that first twenty minutes or so last night might just have been a selection master-stroke! PR has been round long enough to know how a Harrison coached team would operate.....and ended up doing the 'rope-a-dope' on them!! Soak up all that pressure, then run them ragged once they've 'shot their bolt'!! One thing Duffy can not be questioned on is his defence!!

That said - now we've won the first 'psychological' battle - and put that seed of doubt in the 'fax players minds, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan start next week - it's very difficult to coach against 'the game-plan', if you don't know what it's going to be!!

In fairness to Riddy, he landed a few from outside last night, didn't he?

If I know Carl Harrison his team will come to Leigh next week looking to take body parts back with them and not their own. I'm expecting a very physical first twenty mins next sunday so can someone please teach Steve Maden meditation in the week because he does like a bit of boxing and we need him for eighty mins.

I thought he was man of the match yesterday.

I thought he was man of the match yesterday.

It was him or Bob.

To win away your forwards need to dominate.TG and BB had good games but most impressed by younger lads Briscoe,best game yet,Laithwaite,Hoppy

That doesnt count for much
