He certainly looks promising - his distribution from the PTB is excellent. However I do worry how he's going to get a look in, although I believe we are running a reserve team next season which will certainly help fringe players

| I really like Lewis Foster I think he will become a top player perhaps, international too ! I remember seeing him play in a pre-season friendly against Wire at Leigh and he was 'mixing it' with the likes of Morley! I thought "cheeky little bug'er" He is the best passer of a ball from the floor than anyone at the club and the 'Pivots' must relish playing with him! I don't know what his Contract is but double it now, a sound investment and I look forward to seeing him starring for us in the future!

| For those who thought the game was crap, no it wasn't, Bradford 80 Sheffield 0 that's crap
I thought Burns and Reynolds were excellent against the more experienced pairing of Brambani and Walker who, have orchestrated Batley's 'Successful' season.
I do hope Willie Tonga keeps fit,( he certainly looked it on Saturday) one pass he slipped to Dawson was sublime! the mark of a class player, none of our other centres can give those type of passes, that's why Willie played 13 times for Australia! lets face it, to play Centre so many times for Australia you've got to be very special

Hopefully Willie can play 13 times for us before he leaves.One pass doesn't equal a season.Foster needs game time as does Reynolds.Will they get that next season at Leigh? Brambani had a poor game by his standards.Errors galore from both teams.Very poor game of RL.

I think you are being a bit harsh on a team that hardly played together as a unit this season, the weather was roasting and I think really warm weather does bring errors due to fatigue. A great day for the fans to celebrate and for me a good win was a bonus and I'm sure a lot of people who turned up for the first time will want to return next season.

| Negatives from Saturday's game:
Robbie Williams
PA in North Stand is terrible (volume wise) but at least this negated having to listen to Williams
Stop bringing drums
Handling errors galore (I'm looking at you Hoppy).
Positives:
Our "replacements" at 1, 6, 7 and 9 (both) went well, I personally thought Burns should have been MoM, his best game for us, which doesn't say much but he controlled everything attack wise and defensively was strong too.
Lambrini did indeed have a poor game, positive for us.
The North stand was fantastic, felt louder than it was even at the most hysterical times vs Huddersfield and that's with half the people more concerned with getting drunk than what is happening on the pitch.
I think the errors do stand out more than and skill in the game but I thought the team as a whole and its makeshift nature still gelled very well.

Yup. and as previously discussed, a missed opportunity to get a plethora of new ticket sign-ups for next year by displaying champagne rugby to past and new potential clients. A blatant disconnect between marketing and Jukes on this one? Yeah I know, Jukes rested players as he wants to top the table by beating Leeds, etc. etc.
Even "free" didn't fill the ground to max capacity. With 10K plus target audience in front of you - SELL, SELL, SELL.
Have a great week everyone...

| I thought the game lost a bit of edge because we were already promoted. There were lots of changes, so it was a little disjointed. Most of those coming in hadn't played since July - so I don't think we could expect too much! They did a good job against a team who had more to play for and who we had struggled against in the two championship games - home & away. It was nice to see Burns have a decent game and Smith's goal kicking was excellent. Enjoyed the day

Congratulations, you win the award for the most clueless and stupid post of the week. (are you Paul Rowley?)
The marketing department telling Jukes how they want the game playing?????.....that might work if both teams agree to allow the other team to play how they like, and both teams have nothing to play for. Jukes wanted to give the guys who hadn't played in the eights or who were leaving a game and considering how long it is since alot of them had played together, the performance showed just how good the coaching must be.

Drown them out with " OH LEIGH" or "WE LOVE YOU LEYTHERS" or just start booing as soon as it start, but of course that involves the West stand singing

Ste, I don't sING the Flute Song,but it doesn't bother me when it is sung, I've heard much worse,I've been watching Leigh for around 55 years now and in the 60s the songs and bad language from the Railway End was frowned on,on another site it has been posted that Derek, Micky Higham and a few other players also sing it,the Jimmy Savile song is worse , but it's still sung on a regular basis,songs will always be sung like them or loathe them,it seems to me a hell a lot of Leythers are singing it.

You are correct Charlie, it will continue through the generations because kids see/hear their dads singing it. I hate it.

| When I was young, The Munich Song was prevalent at the old Burnden Park. When much older I heard rumours that a hardcore of Trotters duck'eeds were planning to sing it at Old Trafford as King Nat and others laid a wreath to the fallen on the 40th anniversary of the crash. Despite reports to the contrary it didn't happen and I have never heard it since. It only takes one generation of sufficiently mature parents to kill these songs by firstly not singing them in front of their kids and secondly rollicking those kids if the parents hear them doing it. There is hope, Reffy.
Ps. Bolton got a draw that day and Cole & Sheringham are still throwing their toys at each other.

Exactly my thoughts! Neil is loyal to his squad and wanted to reward those who have been giving everything in training, for weeks, without getting a game. At the end of the day, the replacements were more convincing against Batley, than the 'first choices' were twice during the season!

I spent many seasons on the Railway End, about the age of 12 till around 20 and loved it, there were some mad characters around then, but it was good,there was plenty of fights to, I remember Wigan fans being escorted by police from Leigh Bus station to Hilton Park,.

| Well the ref made sure he wasn't ignored by the big crowd. Was great to see people who are leaving have good games and leave on a high, special for me was Andrew Dixon who IMHO has never had a bad game. It has been suggested it was Fui's last game at LSV pity not be celebrated if that's the case.

Charlie, what about this for an idea? First SL game at LSV, you take the microphone on a podium in the Man U reserves' centre circle and, to the accompaniment of a descendant of Bombadier Billy Wells on the gran tambura, teach the next generation a good wholesome song in the form of "Lily the Pink"?
As I see it, it's a vincero:vincero situation

You obviously haven't heard me sing,my last Kareoke spot was at a Caroli family get together, when I gave a rendition of Tom Hark,with the Flute Song,to the Wigan Carolis.
I am ready to a company you in a selection of Stanley Unwin greatest hits,didn't he do a version of the Farms ,Altogether Now?
