You threw a lot of " Forward " passes today as well

In fact we called most of the second half forward

Must admit, that did make me laugh

I think there are two ways to look at today's game.
Firstly, which is the one I prefer to subscribe to, was that it was a good, old fashioned, cracking derby match ,which either side could have won and Leigh's defence probably won the game (for once) with excellent effort and (at least) two last ditch defensive effots, which stopped almost certain Widnes tries. Two teams put everything into that today and okay it wasn't open rugby, but sometimes it doesn't have to be to be entertaining. It's about the drama.

Secondly, we could say that there were two very average teams on show today, and sorry Widnes fans, you are a bit delusional to think that you are that much better than Leigh. I'm affraid Halifax and Barrow will be the standout teams this season.

Irrespective, I thoroughly enjoyed today's game, probably morte than any this season. The win was icing on the cake which I didn't expect and with 10 minutes to go would have been happy with a point.

Anyway that's the way I saw it.

well Laughton did his best for Widnes as usual anti-leigh from him you need to sack butterfingers Doran, no on second thoughts keep him he's useless

Duffy was very good in the 1st half but............Ostick was superb for me - excellent player who made good yards every time he had the ball.

I thought Gannon had a good game also - as for the rest, well, it was like watching a Graeme West team.

i thought DORAN had a cracker.

I've not been to Widnes since 2005. I always remembered that the atmosphere and banter between our two set of fans at your gaff was always good. What has happened the Widnes fans? Have you all lost your voices? As you said you were leading for most of the game yet I didn't hear a peep out of the home fans all game.

Never sat in a stadium so awkward before. The crowd are more disinterested than our players seem to be. Dead.

you only scored 8 points

Give them some credit I heard a few screams of FORWARD every now and then

I think 'awkward' is a good word to use in that situation - that's how it felt when we lost to Batley and can certainly understand it being the same for your lot today. Why get behind your side when they clearly can't be bothered?

Anyroad, as you can imagine, I'm absolutely bloody chuffed with the performance both on and off the field - Leigh fans really got behind the lads, and that was something I wasn't confident about pre-match, while our forwards worked their nads off, particularly Armistead and Hill when they stayed on the field despite their injuries.

I think the execution of both sides was poor, but that doesn't neccesarily make it a bad game - I thought it was far too closely fought for it to be boring, and the last ten minutes were just an onslaught on your line, which I actually thought would end in defeat when we lost possession on 78 minutes.

A contest that will be added to the list of Leigh-Widnes thrillers as far as I'm concerned, the game was on a knife edge throughout.

It was like a derby game both teams trying to win the arm wrestle.Well since we dropped out of superleague this as been our derby game and today i think it showed not pretty but a dam very hard pill to swallow when you lose.

As it was for a few years before you got in to Super League as well



Only downside being that we only ever get an atmosphere against your lot, and occasionally 'Fax

We were awful today ive got to say i was really bored im slowly losing the will to live watching widnes these days and im sorry to say that.

Gannon, Ostick and Flynn were the only ones really getting into the game today, Mark smith did nothing again but he seems to have been like that for about 2 seasons maybe time to give Brett Robinson a go a hooker. Loz Wildbore has been the most disappointing signing so far very selfish needs to learn there are 12 other players in the team with him.
we were clueless and had no idea going forward what so ever we really are becoming very boring to watch.

Though Gaskell gave a good showing for you guys as well, made a lot of hard yards and took the high bomb every time. Ostick looks like a very promising player for you guys, seems to make lots of yards with the ball in hand and solid in defence as well.

Glad you took TKL and Doran off us, Armistead every day of the week. Any penalties Laughton decided to give us were probably from Doran and his ball retention was awful.

why waste ur voice for that boring 80 mins

Armistead was absolute garbage, he was in the same class as Doran. Matt said he was really happy with the Leigh performance. Leigh were shocking, the worst Leigh team to play at the Stobart for over 10 years. Mort is a decent player but the likes of Hobson and Marsh are useless.

All in all two very very poor teams. Probably the worst two teams of the weekebd

waste your voice





how much of a lift did we [leigh fans give our players yesterday??? its already been commented on by a leigh player last night as " f in amazing really gave us a buzz".
there is nowt more fickle than a rugby fan, when its good its great but when its bad everyone needs sacking?
But that is the worst opposing atmosphere i ave come across this year[even london skolars had a bit of a go.your supposed to be full time living the o`connor dream!!! we know we ave a long way to go and i believe we will be the top team in this league come the next franchise[although we or you wont get in again but thats another story. I am a leigh supporter an always will be no matter how good or bad they are SUPPORT your guys and be the extra man did not do us any arm.'"

and as far as 2 poor teams ithink you meant 1 winnning part time team and over rated non achievers. you cant change the scoreline and cant do owt about a leigh centurion victory, so sour grapes or not from yourself your team is utter garbage wake up n smell the coffee.

We know , thats what most of the ing posts by Widnes fans, you are part time and we are full time
