Well Col, based on our 'in/out' form, you could say we will win the next one, lose the one after (at home!) and win the last one! You could say that, but............. we will have to improve on today. I would rather play Catalans in the £1M game, than HKR or Widnes!!

TBH, despite today I think we'll end up with 8 points, but that could be anything from 3rd, 4th or 5th, all in all gawd knows how this will pan out

Too true! Next week, we once again get the chance to put today's nightmare right. Warrington looked extremely charitable, at times, last night!

And at times looked like they could rip teams to pieces - who knows what could happen next weekend

Well, our guys need to remember that we have beaten them once, this season, and convincingly. (best just to forget what then happened at theirs!

)

Well we do have a 100% away record in the 8's

Pity we still have another home match then!

He is a disgrace to this club, living it up he is, whilst the club pays the ultimate price for their loyalty to him.

I look at two aspects in a big game. The result and the performance.

I can accept losing but that performance was absolutely terrible. Lets not paper over it. We can not win a big game. A championship team have come to our place and out coached us and out enthused us TWICE at home to turn us over.

Today was a huge game and yet again Bets has got his team up to turn us over on our own midden. Widnes were fired up to beat us hands down in every single area.

It is unforgiveable.

was very poor Harold and I can't believe how slow our play the ball was to there's and we've got 5 coaches to coach 5 drives( if we're lucky enough to hold on to the ball )and a kick,for a full time professional team it's not very hard to defend against it is it and who the frigging hell tells Stewart he's a ball handler never done it any other club he's been but suddenly starts to do it at Leigh so he must be being told to do it

We are carp at home.

Catalans away in the mpg for mine

Sadly it's not that difficult to outcoach us at the minute. Simply show some enthusiasm and complete sets and you'll win. Neither Salford or Catalan were able to do this, everybody else has in recent weeks.

As soon as things start going against us (a few penalties early on yesterday) heads and discipline go out of the window. By the time of the second half we were seeing the sort of play that you wouldn't accept on a school field.

It's sad to see the circus that we have become. Far too many there stealing a living.

Morning H, Im sure you have been looking forward to my reply

If yur fishing this morning youve reeled me in


I think their are others at this club who are more culpable than Acton and, a lot of them were involved with the shambles yesterday!
Watching our 'Coaching' staff cross the pitch from the east stand was like watching a Western, akin to seeing Cattle being hearded across the plains, there were that many of them


Which one of them is taking the 'credit' for our team selection and performance? Worryingly we never improved or changed some players around! Paterson for instance was causing Widnes untold problems and could have switched with reynolds who, was annoymous! In fact, both our halbacks were


Maria provides a strong go forward and solid defence and if fit, should have played before young Richards!
Walking past the reception on my way from the Stadium, Ryan Hampshire was leaving with Ben Crookes and, I asked Ryan had he fallen out with the club and, he very diplomatically smiled, of course

(he didn't say of course)
Pelisier and Hampshire would have provided the Zip and enthusiasm we so badly lacked! Watching Micky manfully endure the Hooking role was painful as lad, was obvisoly struggling and he deserevedly won MOM for his efforts!
Acton is a victim of the RFL no about it, Ryan Atkins deliberatly elbowed Sammout in the face on Friday night and, followed it up by diving in on Dixon's legs as he was held by two other tacklers


Will he play against us on Saturday? bet your bottom dollar he will


Had that been Acton, some on here would condem him for those cheap shots

No, he is a victim of his own supidity

Nowt wrong with a good Circus, LeythIg. Myself I didn't go to the game, celebrating my birthday with the family in Blackpool,I suppose I was lucky missing this performance ,at best we now will face Cats in the MPG away ,we have beaten then before so it's not impossible.
However we must have a big clear out next season, on and OFF the pitch,the size of our Coaching Team is a joke,and we play like we did yesterday,how many of Sundays 17 would still be in SL if they all were released?Very few,folk keep saying Glen Stewart is playing to orders

whose orders?Dennis Betts?
A crowd of over 6,000 yesterday not bad ,but it won't be long before its halved unless something drastic happens,I have always said Jukesy should stay, I've changed my mind now.

Everyone quick to jump on poor performances but everyone would of settled before the season started for the million pound game. A team going into a season without a academy and a team of over the hill players who picked leigh to finish there playing careers and pick up a easy pay check.
If we manage to stay in SL we need a change of personnel on the coaching staff and rid of all the deadwood players. I honestly think we can win the MPG but it's not going to be easy we need to dig in and stick together

COME ON LEIGH

At best we can still come 3rd, even with 8 points, any mix can happen with HKR, Widnes and Cats all having to play each other

Everything was hunky dory 2 weeks ago - I can't hear the fat lady singing

Col, I really do hope you are , but HKR play Widnes on Saturday , and unless it's a draw HKR will either be on 10 points or 8 points and Widnes on or 6 points,Cats should beat Fev on Sat giving them 6 points,another loss for us at Wire,and the MPG is nailed on, most likely at Cats.
I know you take nowt for granted these days but we must improve greatly, it can be done but a betting man wouldn't back us.

Well I always look forward to reading your contributions Kirkhall, most of which I always find myself agreeing with. Yet again however we will have to agree to disagree on that imbecile.

HKR have 3 SL teams to play and COULD lose them all
Widnes have HKR and Cats and COULD lose both of them, and don't take London for granted
Cats have HKR and Widnes, and COULD lose both of them

A lot could happen and ball still in our court IMO

I totally agree Col,with what you say,anything can still happen nothing is written in stone,it's just I think the MPG awaits us and I hope it will be at the LSV.

Although, given recent performances, Perpignan might be a good option!

Stupid he is, I wouldnt dipute that however, four months for what he did is wholly unjust!
That great 'kidolloger' (just made that word up

) Greg Bird has commited an horrendous Spear tackle on Fax's Ben Heaton! I dont know if Heaton was injured however, Bird is on a Grade 'D' charge and, he was sinbinned too! (You'll remember Acton wasn't sinbinned).
If you look at Acton's and Birds challenges, which do you think is the worst? I appreciate both could have had potentially serious outcomes! My question is, will they both receive the same punnishment?

Call it a 'civilised' draw between to mature men then

RFL and consistency don't fit in the same sentence unfortunately, I expect Greg Bird to get off far lighter than Jamie's ban. Jamie wasn't sin binned as you say, he was interchanged rather quickly after his little chat with Bird which probably saved the sin bombing.

"Kidolloger", now that's a word
