We where very poor against Widnes
We where worse today
This team need three experienced players in key positions
Centre..stand off..loose forward without them this team will always struggle it has no pace no idea how to break the line and they have
players like Marsh who to be frank are baaaaaaaaaadddddddd !!!!

Its heartbreakin for a long time Leyth fan like me to have such a wonderful ground and such a poor team without pace or ideas !!

Why did Kelly make 2 substitutions after 3 minutes of the 2nd half?Cant remember who the forwards were but did not make sense to me.

Also, why is Maden stealing a living? Was he injured throughout the whole of the second half, if so then fair do's but I think not so why could he not be bothered with tackling and chasing back? How many times in the last 12 months has this guy made a break? I wouldnt pay him with washers at the moment.

And whilst I am on one, I am not critising Durbin for his three knock-ons when under no pressure, I wonder why the crowd do not have a go at the wonder boy when the second Watto makes an error he gets absolutely slated for it.

Marsh couldnt tackle a hot dinner in the 2nd half after he came back on after Watsons unfortunate head injury and between him and Maden we could have kept in the game but for poor tackling.

Was it 3 times times we spilled the ball on the first tackle? Inexcusable

Okay, the ref got one or two decisions incorrect however, I felt we got one or two shouts we should not have.

Kelly has to find out why we can play controlled , almost error free rugby with Barrow hardly breaking the line (if at all) in the first half, to then start to fall off tackles, not wrap the ball up in the tackle, looked lethargic, lazy and void of ideas in the second.

What a difference 1 game makes to our thinking of the team.

It could be a lot worse - you could be a Luton fan. Now that is a fall from giffy heights

Come on folks we were a million times better in the first half today than last week. I am very optomistic about our future. We were taking a very good team to pieces untill Watto got hurt. The main thing that happened and it happens to the best teams was complacency set in. We stopped getting in their faces like in the first half. We let them run at us. Loose your general and everyone looks to everyone for a new leader. We didnt have one to take over and take the game by the scruff of the kneck. Mistakes started to creep in and a couple of bad decisions and our legs became heavy. I would have liked to see Durbin a halfback after Watto went off. Or at least mix it with Jock to try and get them thinking and not rush our line.

Who got M.O.M for leigh today

Which game was you at? Durbin played at half back all the time Watto was off

another depressing day out at the concrete morgue


how bad were Barrow in the 1st half, Fax would have been leading by 30+ !

we need to replace Maden & Stewart with some QUALITY, as well as a stand off, and a scrum half.

Definitely need a decent half back very quickly (with experience).

I too thought Maden was very poor today in defence especially. He doesn't look the player he was 3 or 4 seasons ago for sure.

Maden had a quiet game for me, i cant remember the last time Stewart did anything that caught my eye. We really do need a centre as Donlan is ineffective there, we could also do with A. Smith back at loose, and does anyone know if he is still being payed by Leigh and will we see him again.
After the first half i would never have predicted Barrow scoring a try never mind winning, we just went to pieces after the interception. When the bomb went up(which Barrow scored from) none of our players where in a position to take it, would it not be better to let the opposition take it and then tackle them if they managed to take it in without knocking it on themselves?

I have to say the try that came from the bomb looked like it was punched forward by the Barrow player to me but who am I to judge lol

Chris Hill

Ian Mort had a good game I thought, couldn't do anything about the tries we conceded really and looked the only real threat going forward.

I'm sure the ball was punched forward, but like you, who am i to judge

Thats just what we need Toulous starting to play well just when we are off to play them! thought i had heard wrong when they give it out oh bu@@er

I don't think Batley have won a game since they beat us and we're travelling better than we're playing at LSV.

For me the ball clearly came off Mort, who flapped at it.
Up to that point though, he had a cracking game

If anybody had said on thursday that we would get 4 points from 6 over easter,most fans would have been happy with that.Only performance that has really disappointed me is the Batley game, if we had won that we would be top.We need a good result in France to get us back on track.

Great post......well said.

We are improving slowly and IMO we will peak later in the season when it matters.

Mort never touched it from my vantage point and it was pretty much right in front of me.

Definitely bounced off Mortys chest and deflected back off his fingertips, the Barrow player never touched it.

Hard lines Leigh

i would liken this season for us to that of castleford last season.

we are putting faith in the youngsters and local talent and giving them game time in a league that is more competitive than it has ever been.

This can only be a good thing, how good will we be next year if we can keep these guys together and just add a couple of class players to the mix?? My answer would be, better off than some of these sides who are trying to buy themselves a final.

My expectation at the beginning of this season was to finish 6th. I honestly believe now, that we will do even better and maybe end up fourth, behind halifax, haven and barrow.

Come on LEIGH!!!
