| Great second half performance tonight, it looked like we had swapped shirts at HT.
Every aspect of our game improved. line speed (attack and defence), completion rate, hell, we even put a couple of moves on them !.
The 2 forward pass call were huge (and correct) but, we dont often get those decisions.
The head shot on Miller, if judged in the same light as the tackle on Burrow last week, was a definite sin bin and if he stays down, it's a red but, credit Miller for getting up quickly.
The main fault in the second half is our inability to make a mistake and not concede a penalty on the back of it.
Fantastic effort though and whatever Chester said at HT, I hope he remembers, because we were a totally different team in the second 40.
A HUGE win, well done boys !!!

Well clearly I haven't got your expertise
However it did work IMO AS WE DID WIN! though I'm not suggesting it's a long term solution.
Bring back Scott Moore, yeah right

| I just thought Leigh lost a bit of intensity, like they shot their bolt in the 1st 50 yet were still capable to the end, there was a lot more who wants it? from ahb instead of willing runners, dropped ball and general disorganization after ht.
I dunno how much of that was down to Wakey, Leigh interchanges or position changes or what, its too subtle to pinpoint without analyzing both halves side by side, probably a bit of everything.
I don't think Wakey were that bad in the first half, it was the penalties that killed us.
I mean, I've already decided we can't defend a set of 6 against a half decent attack from 20 yards out, so the quick fix is not let em get there in the first place.
Whilst I thought we kept hold of their running game fairly well, something that was non existent last week, we conspired to ruin that with holding down penalties and miscellaneous rubbish.
I'm already sick of squeaky bum games, but its working for us at the moment, it just leaves you feeling a bit fragile.

| A proverbial game of two halves!
Half time came at the right time for us for a change.

I can see why he started Hadley, presumably he's been training at hooker and looked ok in training, but didnt quite do it today. Although having that bigger pack at the start against Leigh is not a bad idea.

The 1st one was a poor decision for me, not even a penalty, thought he got a long wrong g in our favour which makes a change so I'm not gonna complain too hard thinka draw would have been a fair result myself. Great 2nd half turnaround.

Well I certainly agree on the last point but I think we deserve a bit more credit than Leigh losing intensity. I think a fair bit of that was down to us, and keeping Miller and Hirst in reserve waiting for the new boy fizzle did actually seem to work to me. When the Sky boys were scratching their little heads at the selection pre match, I thought, well, there might be a method in the madness there. Miller can be fragile with big lads running at him but when they are getting a bit leggy he can carve em up

The tackle on miller from hock wasn't even high, no contact with the head at any point of the tackle.

If your on about the miller tackle it wasn't even high, no contact with the head at any point. Watch it back and I'm sure you will agree.

2nd Half,I agree. It was a game of two halves, and you guys took the spoils,so well done.The ref was generally poor,and i watch quite a lot of NRL games ,and our officials look like amateurs compared to theirs.

| 3 1/2 years ago Liam Finn was considered surplus to requirements at a championship club. He continues to deliver match winning performances in SL. Not flashy. Just very smart, shrewd and top organiser. Motm for me tonight. Only phil clarkes weird love in with Johnstone prevented him getting that accolade.

| When the general RL world is commenting more about the ref than the game you know things aren't right in that area.
Tonights observations - the viewing angle from the side is shocking, 3 inch terracing at best restricts everyones view, thank God it was dry. Wakeys pack was battered. The try was short and the ref had a shocker. As fans we pay to be entertained, refs good or bad must be consistent, Campbell had a shocker as did the Humble on the touch line.
Huge win for you after last week but your grunt is soft, a few big lads who look like Tarzan but .............. Your halves played better with ball in hand, and you had a lot of ball.

Mo,whether the ball was short or not,BJB was tackled in the air and therefore we were lucky not to concede a penalty try. After saying that,Campbell was poor tonight, and might find himself joining Mr Hicks in the championship.

| Hock's first shouldn't have been a penalty. However, if you swing an arm at head height you're putting the ref in a position where he has to make a decision. Ditto Hampshire's "knock on". If he caught that ball there'd be no chance of the ref making a wrong call. Incidents like those help determine which of the teams was better on the night.

Brilliant - you had a restricted view from the West terrace but you know that BJB's try was short. Joker.

| I agree with earlier posters when it was suggested a bigger pack seemed to wear Leigh down in the second half..When fit need to play England, Allgood, Arona, Huby, Hirst and Fifita all in the first choice 17 in my opinion. Hopefully England will be back within the next few weeks....

Didn't have a restricted view of the though.
I think it was a try but only just and if I were a Leigh fan I'd be dubious.
