Can't fault this team, its a pleasure to watch, yes we lack quallity but untill we get some it'll do for me.

With all the possession we had from drop outs in first half we should have gone at least 12 points up,but we are clueless with the ball and have no invention or creativity and this is where Leeds totally outshone us today,Burrows was everywhere and they stood and watched him.

Yep. Every one of them looked as though they were prepared to give everything for the cause. You can't ask for anymore.

I thought the first half was worth the admission price alone. Talking of which I entered through the cats bar today and all the bloke did was look to see if my season ticket was this years

He left the ticket in the book

but i dont think burrows ever broke our line, was this because we didnt jump in at him, sure he ran a lot but most of it was sideways. bederus for me was the difference in the second half he just moved them about and kept them going.

Great effort from the lads. The turning point had to be not making touch from the penalty from which they scored two quick tries. Teams defo closer than the score suggests. Good crowd , lets hope fans keep coming and backing the on and off field team

Agree about Buderus(he must love playing against us) bit with Burrow he is illusive and although going sideways he ducks and dives and there is always somone backing up,smash him and this doesn't happen.

Or shoot out of the line to smash him, leave a gap and concede an easy try.

I thought we had Burrow well covered today - when he ran, he ran sideways, and he can do that all day for me.

Buderus is a class act though - a quality player who can change a game.

Anyone notice Mr Bailey today? Looked to me like he was hiding in the backline - spent most of his time on the field with his hands on his hips, gasping for breath; we should have run at him more and punished his lack of match fitness.

We thought we suffered in the second half...

Half time score Leigh 8 - Widnes 16

Full time score Leigh 54 - Widnes 16

they opened the franchise envelopes at half time then?

well I was told I could not enter through Cats Bar so had to walk all way back to main entrance to go thorugh only to walk all the way back down to Trinity Bar

I was told today by someone in the game its Widnes to go Up. Well they get talked up enough as half their staff are on Boots n All / Sky . So Crusaders chances must be limited now being within 30 miles of Widnes !

Thought we did well today but let's be fair Leeds were VERY POOR!

Can't fault the lads effort or commitment and if it wasn't for some poor decisions by the ref in the 2nd half then it would have been closer but Leeds were just too good and in only 2nd gear.

We urgently need another big prop, a leader at 7 and another winger as George is bloody rubbish and was IMHO at fault for 3 Leeds tries today.

Other than that I can't fault the effort, Kears bench selection was once again very bizarre but hey getting used to that.

why is everyone attacking george? hes had an off day today, everyone is allowed once in a while. is just me or did the jeffries/lee partnership look a lot more sharp then the other combinations we've had?

Coz he had a shocker, some have forgotten Johnsons HOWLERS over the past few game because he played well today. One game away from fortune and fame untill you have an off day, its the Wakey way.

Gleadhill should have come off the bench, he's chomping at the bit, why he played in the reserves is beyond me.

George wasn't great but he wasn't offered a great deal of help from those defending on his inside where he was often left 2 on 1. This meant that he was back peddling to catch kicks while Watkins was coming onto them at speed and there's a clear favourite in that kind of contest.

I agree and add the fact that Watkins has a few inches on George as well.

Once again loads of effort but very little quality near the oppositions line. We've now played 240 minutes at home and scored three tries. Thats not good enough and its not going to get Joe Public flooding through through the gates i'm afraid. It is imperative we find a good scrum half pretty damn quick. Another prop would be nice as well.

Defensively we were not too bad, though George had a mare. Bit concerned how we fell away at the end but we had been caned by the ref in the second half. I said it during the week and i'll say it again now, Kear got his bench wrong yet again. Why Gledhill wasn't there instead of Vievers i'll never know.

Yes but Johnson obviously has guts and attitude. Luke Goerge looks like a player affraid to get stuck in and not really wanting to be here. I can't remember the last time he had a good game

That's harsh - I agree he had an awful second half today, but I think he's started this season really well.

Have to agree about Gledhill - he walked past us at the end of the game with a face like a melted welly; he clearly wants game time, and I'm baffled as to why wasn't he on the bench today.

No problem with Johnson at all, just think Georges is the easy target for some, he may not be great but just check his finishing stats while he's been here.


We all see it different.

I personally think that George is a good winger and he has had a good season so far and i actually though he had a very good 1st half today but then was poor in the 2nd but i challenge anybody to show me a player who doesn't have a bad game every now and then.
