Why has no one had anything to say about Ridyard? There is no way I would have him in the team. Such a pivotal position needs a much better player than him. I'm sorry but I can't remeber him having anything close to a decent performance. I'm sorry for just picking Martin there were lots of problems out there today but the biggest one for me was us being clueless in attack. Absolutely clueless. Having said that our defense wasn't much better. It's not rocket science this but every team that plays us now knows that all they have to do is suck the forwards into the middle then throw it out to a fast running second rower and we are knackerd. Its under 16's tactics and we can't see it coming. I only hope those players that are not performing are out of contract at the end of the season and we stay in this league.
Can you not sack them for not performing. There is video evidence.

I can't believe how much pressure is actually stacked on young Riddy. Today was the first game he has been selected immediately following a loss. Talk about a scapegoat,he's hardly going into games with the confidence of Darren Lockyer.......As it happens I don't think he was anything near our worse performer

Well although I don,t think he,s the reason for todays result his defence isn,t too good. is it ? I wouldn,t pick him for the first team mind you I wouldn,t pick Madden O,Connell, how ineffective can you be till you are droppped? Smith was dire. Reay can,t tackle, Stewart would have been worse with him, Leulai centre ? Oh dear me.

Had I played today it wouldn,t have maked that much of a difference and I,m expected to applaud that shower off after the match/mismatch.

couldn't be @rsed booing, if they were trying their best, then would feel bad doin it. But better teams in various sports get booed, and sometimes about 40,000 of 'em.

i did not boo the players,as it goes a lot further than playin staff. but what i did feel the players went wrong was to walk towards us and clap, they should of just walked off they know it was abismal, but you can bet they would of got slated for NOT acknowledging us also.

On that note they were in a no-win situation, but then again they should be used to 'no wins' by now

i know matt just stating either way there would of been a topic on it.

and the lads promised nursery rhymes today, never heard a peep out of the massive??

Booing them after a insulting lack of effort by the collective team (directors, coaching staff and "players"icon_wink.gif isn't a problem in my book, Just as applauding them when it goes well.
If the players are upset by people booing perhaps a long hard look in the mirror is required, the young uns will remember it and never want to be booed again and the old ones might just think about how they "earned" that money this week.

The team either plays well collectively or bad collectively, otherwise what you have is individuals not a team.

I was far too knackered to take any notice Adi

Only parked up at the LSV at 2:56pm after driving back from Liverpool Airport.


Spot on - all too happy to lap it up when things go well, so the same has to apply in situations like today.

don't have a problem with the booing. Suprised chants of "what aload of rubbish" didn't emerge tbh.

I didnt boo neither, although I will say Im not going to Haven.

Well I'm glutton for punishment and I'll be at every venue in this country for the rest of the year. Leigh will need to conjure up a couple of good results to get away from Gateshead and Batley.

you dont expect him to miss TWO one on ones inn the first five minutes though


he is WELL out of his depth

Give Hatton a go

frying pan and fire come to mind here..........

Nowt special in reserve games for me and didn't get many rave reviews whilst at Blackpool(a league below us). Sorry but not the answer for half back - maybe hooker (wasn't he signed with the intention of playing hooker?).

well i share your obvious frustrating frank old boy, but come on pal, if diehards like me and you desert the sinking ship what hope have we got, i am as discusted and upset as the next man, but come on they are our club, and yes the players in the main are not fit to wear the shirt, but we will be here long after some of the rubbish players have gone, i am not defending them by any means, but you should come frank.

its not a question of wanting to watch your team win week in week out, its a question of wanting to watch your team show committment , pride and spirit week in week out, nobody has a god given right to expect your team to win every game, but we do have a right to expect them to put all their effort into a game, even our coach admitted we did not do that today.

===========================================
I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO MOAN WHEN I PAY MONEY TO WATCH
DROSS LIKE THAT WEEK IN WEEK OUT WHY SHOULD I WATCH SAINTS I,M LEIGH THRO N THRO BUT TO CLASS WHAT LEIGH ARE PLAYING AS RL
THEY SHOULD BE PROSICUTED UNDER THE TRADES DESCRIPTION ACT
I MOAN BECAUSE THIS YEAR I THOUGHT FOOLISHLY THAT IT WAS THE START OF SOMETHING EXCITING FOR LEIGH CENTURIONS ..HOW THE CLUB HAS GONE INTO A DOWNWARD SPIRAL THIS SEASON HAS SHOCKED ME AND MANY OTHER LONG TERM SUPPORTERS TAKE IT FROM ME THE CLUB OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS HAVE LOST QUITE A FEW LONG TERM FANS AND THEY ARE GONNA LOSE MORE AND UNLESS
THERE IS A MASSIVE UPTURN IN PLAYING PERFORMANCES AND A BIG RECRUITMENT OF PLAYERS OF A MUCH HIGHER CALIBRE FOR NEXT SEASON....THEY AINT GONNA COME BACK THATS NO BRAG JUST FACT !!!

coach........... what coach

He's not a coach, he's a pony and trap.

Listen i understand you are not happy with the state of things neither am i but you seem ready to burst a blood vessel at times as you come across extremely angry ,i know you are shouting when you post because of the CAPITAL LETTERS

See yesterday i was bored stiff watching ,it got to the point when i could'nt even be bothered to politely question the refs decissions mainly because i could'nt blame the ref for such a poor performance. Now i will still go to watch them play i cant help it because like others have said the more support we lose the worse the team will get .Personally i think we have been duped with the youth policy its just an excuse for not buying decent players and i for one fell for itand i dont believe that this team cost a huge amount of money ,it cant have .

I agree. Look at some of the talent and experience playing for some of the clubs around us and surely we should have been in for some of these guys?!

The clubs must have a pot of money somewhere that they aren't telling us about. Either that or we've overpaid for a lot of dross which seems to be the case.

Its crazy if they have paid out big time for these players as other than Donlan who Lisa helped towards who else is a houshold name? nobody so, they are either on extortionate contracts or somebody is telling porkies about the cost of the team.
