some fantastic attacking play and tries,





, but some awfull and laxidaisey defence





- still a wins a win and i feel there was quite a bit kept in reserve for mondays match - we are still unbeaten

Thought barrow were outstanding today that wasn't the same team that played fev superb defence and gud in attack, just can't see how leigh are going to beat fev they looked shattered

Not the best performance but its the signs of a good team to be able to play bad and still win and were still unbeaten

think we played just enough to win the game today.hope hilly is ok for monday,had a big ice pack on his knee after taking a knock.we upped the speed the ball for 10 mins in the second half and that got the 2 tries that ended up winning us the match.
ref pulled them up five times for head high shots surely someone shouldve been binned.
weird playin at 12 oclock but a win is a win.lookin forward to fev now on monday bring it on.

Barrow played very well but we let some very soft tries in. Enjoyed the second half in particular, by the christ it was hot as well lol

Our last try was awesome!! Best try i've seen leigh score in a long long time.

told you it wouldn't be a walkover

Mr Hewer kept Barrow in the game and should be hauled infront of the RFL for that performance. How can you give 5 penalties for high tackles without calling for the captain and telling him the next goes in the bin, and that was the ones he pulled up. There must have been another six blatant ones he let go. They were trying to pull TGs head off right in front of him and the buffoon running the line.He stopped us taking a tap when the players were clearly behind the 20mtr line. I know Andy Thornley had just crossed it but he was in Hewers peripheral vision. If you can't see that you shouldn't be reffing.
Our discipline at getting back for the play the ball is excellent, but Barrow were infront of him all the time and at some of the taps they had not got 5mtrs. Then he pulls us for not being square.

Poor kickin game did,nt help us, and with Govin missing the ball was,nt moving to the backline fast enough the players dug deep and came up with a win against a very good Barrow side the last try from Donlan was pure magic, if Leigh up the anti by 50% they will beat Fev on monday............

Do you think MG was rested with monday in mind? Try of the year for me that Demon.

no he was doubtfull as it was

Fair play to Barrow today though, good support and their players wouldn't give up. Good crowd today too, over 2500. Leigh missed Govin but Donlan's second was the best try i've seen for years.

I thought Basils Post-Match sum up was fair ,saying boths sides had about a 90%completion rate ,Nigel Wright was very magnanimous in defeat



said it was probably Barrows best performance , i thought we missed Gov, but we will have to improve again to beat Fev ,still a wins a win and it must have been very hot out there ,CMON YOU LEYTHERS



.

Totally agree about the ref,not once did he threaten to put someone in the bin and yes he gave 5 pens for the head shots but missed 2 that we all saw in west stand ,I thought that was the worst i've seen him ref

It was hot where we were with 'Basil' breathing fire down our necks

Barrow played well today and showed they have good players and looked a lot fitter than when we played them at their place.

Unrecognisable from when they "played" at Fev.

Our last try was so amazing I cannot wait for Fred to post his blip tv thing. Seven minutes left and they come up with that.

Older supporters need to take a viagra 10 minutes before the fast forwarding button and watch it. Orgasmic moment.

lol frank cant wait to see it again

Thx for th coverage. The game kicked off at 4am my time so I didn't follow live but I did the next best thing when I got up by not checking the score but reading the updates in order. Well done to the lads. Close but they did what was needed.

Looks like RHP's Twitter is giving Leigh Updates a run for their money!

Just finished watching match on Blip and you could hear Millward barking out the orders ,he sounded well annoyed, strewth mate

Me too. And they are right about the budgy creepers.

Meercats of Meeakovo am I wrong ?

They did enough to win. We got the lead early 2nd half and then we just held them at arms length. I am quite sure that Leigh could have upped the tempo anytime in the game and won by a bigger margin, but they are keeping fuel in the tank for Fev game.
They will beat Fev I have no doubts about it.

You can't have much complaints about the Ref, he was poor for both sides, we were both offside most of the time and he should of penalised us more for high tackling but you got away with lots of forward passes but in the end it evens itself out, The game could of gone either way but yous came out on top and I would of took a bonus point before the game had started easily after attending our terrible performance against Fev but don't forget it's not how you start the season its how you finish it.

Well played and I expect you to finish top come the end of the season.

No offence mate but I highly doubt you will beat Fev.

If you think about it, it was the hottest day of the year so far, both sides were knackered by the end of them game and don't even deny that Leigh wern't but they clearly were, i'm sure that if you could of upped the tempo Ian Millward would of made your side do it as if you could prevent us from getting a bonus point that could be vital.

The big factor is also that Fev didn't have a game this week after there fixture has been rearranged. I expect yous to hold on in the first half against Fev but as the game goes on they will beat you for fitness as Fev are probably the fittest side in the league and add to the fact they didn't have a game I think this will be crucial so they will just edge it.

My judgement may be wrong but good look for the rest of the season and your ground is 20x better than Widnes's will ever be because at least it has some sort of atmosphere.

Can't fault Barrow never gave up even though their forwards were blowing after half an hour, their fans were great yesterday too. Long journey and way way more fans than I expected. Think the stewards moves some of their fans from the East Stand into the North too to let them all stand together which is good to see.

Tactically I think Barrow deliberately didn't put their markers square to nullify McGilvarays scoots and made him have his quietest game for us in that respect. If the ref had picked up on that from the start I think they would have struggled because our forwards got on the front foot early on but we couldn't take advantage of it with fast play the balls tearing up the metres.
