He was very good and I feel with more fitness he will be the best prop in the league. A friend of mine who sponsors him
Said he fax through and through too.

Spot on enforcer, Sam was reporting being bitten and retaliated. He played well today and was not the reason We lost. Our half backs were second best and without ref bashing, Bentham was a joke. End of

I thought he gave some awful calls and most were in your favour.

He made a mistake, and ultimately it might have cost us. However, he was defo one of our best players today.

Karl has shored up the defence, but we look pretty one-dimensional and lacking in ideas when we get in the opposition 20 (when we come across a well-drilled side like Leigh).

We had the lead, and let Leigh back into it. If we'd scored first in the 2nd half, the story would probably have been very different.

Bentham was inconsistent, and generally had a poor game, but didn't favour one side over the other.

Yep, It's a strange world we live in, maybe us lot have just spent the afternoon in the twilight zone, probably explains why the game finished over an hour ago and we have just got out of the car park. Life is strange sometimes, the ref didn't favour us, honestly.

Fair play, Leigh deserved to win, we were second best in a lot of areas but hey ho, we start again next week

Re: Barlow : Sun Apr 29, 2012 4:23 pm  

beaten by a dull 'one out rugby' Leigh side, we lost it they didn't win it.

If we could of only expolited their weak young winger more in the 2nd half we could have had the game killed off.

Barlow, although dropped the ball in extra time, was easily are most dangerous forward will be massive for us when he gets fully fit.

Re: Barlow : Sun Apr 29, 2012 4:31 pm  

Our,Leigh, gameplan was poor today. I feel the conditions made Rowley feel we needed to play that way, we don't and Brierley coming on upped the tempo until we decided to play hang on RL and that almost lost it.

Listening to the match on radio (result 19 - 18) is Barlow suitable for inclusion in the team when it is a key match. He is on report for "biting" and drops the ball on most occasions. It was his error that lost us the game.

hold on!

how can you comment on a players performance making such judgements when you failed to attend the match?

No-one can blame Barlow when he dropped the ball - that didn't cost you the game. Not taking the 2 points in the 1st half and going for the line cost you the match as the goal to make it 18 all in fact would of been the match winner.

Who ever decided to run the ball needs to admit it was the wrong decision and apologise to you guys.......P.S. Barlow was the best forward on that pitch today - runs hard and is a beast.

See you in the league fixture at ours and good luck against Fev next week.
