Total bollox, fat toothless moron in south stand jumping about goading elderly fans who were there for the rugby. Utter scratter of the worst order. I thought it was about rugby, clearly not for some, it's dicks like him who end up causing massive kickoffs in stands. He was that hammered he could hardly keep his eyes open. There were young kids there, mine included, he was in the wrong pure and simple but then you get others backing him up. I like most Leigh fans but this upper unfortunately tarnishes you all.

That sounds like Tommy he's no thug , like his drink but he doesn't fight, he lost his teeth at Fev a couple year back when they kicked off with us on their car park .

Disappointed with the loss. Disappointed with the performance. Disappointed with Harrison yet again with his interviews etc. I dont think Harrison should be offered another contract as once again we throw away a game. A couple of things must be questioned.

FITNESS - Players should not be so tired that after a week since the last game they cant tackle and put much effort. I remeber in the 80s where we was playing somtimes 5 games in 2 weeks and yet still won games. Yes the players are part time but why do we alarmingly become so tired and poor in the second half of games? Leigh have had a tough cup game as well last week and yet even with 12 men apparently looked fitter than us.

ATTITUDE - Starts with the Coach and he just comes up with lame excuses and saying he doesnt do HT talks etc. That doesnt sound very professional to me and no doubt the players will make excuses just like the coach does. 24-0 up at one point. Harrison is on Radio Leeds and it comes across as he doesnt take the defeat and poor performance that seriously. Even allowing for the 2 dodgy tries, its a poor attitude that sees a team, for me, that is at 24-0 with 42 minutes to play lose 28-36. Wheres the leaders on the field? I just come away from listening to Harrison and reading and sometimes seeing games and think the attitude for me is wrong. Maybe I am wrong here but I am not impressed with how he does things

SQUAD . I fail to see why we loaned out Brown when we have Johnson out injured. Maybe Brown wanted more game time- Then he has to earn it!! We see quality finishers and match winners left kicking their heels while we stick fullbacks and centres on the wing. A fullback that is caught out of position and done for speed at centre. We have a SL Lock playing at Stand Off. Why are we playing players out of position so often. We have youngsters that are rarely given much chance to show what they can do- Holden last year, Brookes this year. The players that often are brought in are often good honest players, but not ones that are top quality.

It was Tommy, one of your lads told me when he was struggling trying ask for a pint in the bar before the game, then had no idea where he was supposed to be standing in the second half, bit like our defence.

Seems a fair comment to me and Casey gets a game week in, week out.

I agree about Brookes but we werent beat in the forwards today. We were beat on the fringes, Heaton not good enough, if Cowling is fit and has been dropped then Harrison needs to go as he obviously has personal issues with players that get in the way of coaching. I cant begin to fathom the loaning of Brown, Harrison has some explaining to do!

Re: Not good enough : Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:33 pm  

Our second half discipline & defence was awful, why does Rhino insist on playing players out of position.
The harmless Leigh fan "Tommy" should hang his head in shame, was it really necessary to shout, swear & gesture at the Fax fans. Had he just kept his vile toothless gob shut then some of the trouble that occurred in the south stand would not have happened he spoilt what had otherwise been a good game with a great atmosphere

Re: Not good enough : Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:40 pm  

Harrison's decisions regarding team selection are baffling.

Re: Not good enough : Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:59 pm  

Our loss had nothing to do with Barlow. It had everything to do with Fax
Not playing their best in second half with a 1man advantage. I saw no animosity between supporters. Two bad reffing calls and our lack of gaul to win the game when we had it in the bag. Well done Leigh.

Re: Not good enough : Sun Apr 13, 2014 10:20 pm  

A thrilling game today, Fax`s first half display was awesome. I expected a mauling in the second half to be honest.

Have to say the idiot who threw the beer at the fax fans who were stood near us was moronic, especially as it worried the kiddies who it went over. Not what the sport,or any club needs to be tarnished with.

Re: Not good enough : Sun Apr 13, 2014 10:41 pm  

I don't blame the players, they gave their best today, whether or not thats good enough who knows.

We've limped on now for over 2 years and today the home support were well and truly kicked in the knackers, a totaly humilating experience walking out of the ground today.

Theres nothing more to add about Harrisons (and his coaching staff) tactics, man-management, signings etc than whats already been said before. Time for a change, we need to see if someonelse can get more from these group of players because theyre obviously fragile and lacking confidence.

I cant see the BOD reacting though, they seem to be like rabbits in the headlights constantly repeating their mantra of bring a mate down. Hope everyone had a lovely time in the Harveys Suite, enjoy it while you can.
