[quote="BP1":9xy9syy0]Ah yes! Talk about starting as you mean to go on! Gale being sent off that afternoon feels now like a microcosm of everything that has gone wrong around our club these past 4/5 years. Decent crowd, dreadful performance, weather even worse (seem to recall it snowed for a decent portion of the afternoon), high profile signing sent off. Honestly, if it could go wrong it did go wrong that afternoon (and most afternoons after that as well!!!). Hoping that one day I will wake up to find that these past few years have all been simply a bad dream and they haven't actually happened!!! Let's hope that isn't repeated tonight, it's not going to snow at least, that we do know for certain!!![/quote:9xy9syy0] Just three years ago but the only players from the XVII that day still at the club are Lane, Fash and Sao.

Makes you realise that was some performance from Leigh in the opening round.

[quote="giddyupoldfella":3v8uyvx8]Rapana is our full back. So no need to move him. Moy will just have to wait patiently. Shouldn't be to long a wait with our injuries luck. Our strongest three quarter line right now looks like the one that started last week at Catalans. With Chamberlain, Westerman and eventually Litten as back up. It'd be crazy to move your best full back to play at centre.[/quote:3v8uyvx8] we dont have any choice now but to play Moy and move Rapana to centre unless another centre is brought in next week Hardaker is out for several weeks I dont think Westerman would have done any worse than Chamberlain tonight but i understand the coaches reluctance to play him and Moy tonight.against such quality opposition. Have to find another second row rapidly.Chamberlain offers nothing but a body either in the centre or second row

You talk about how good Leigh were to beat Wigan , then how bad were Dragons to lose to us ? A sobering reality and the dangers of recruiting players over 30 comes to mind. We won’t be at our best until the end of the season - Carty has a big job on his hands but he will sort it
