First off I've got to give Leigh credit. They were terrific and their approach to the game is refreshing. Motivated and determined, I've not seen that in Super League in years. They will win more than they lose at home I think.
Now for us. The first half was completely unacceptable and questions have to be asked. People will say calm down it's only the second week, but that's not the point. The team started the game with no respect for Leigh at all, they were determined only to do the absolute minimum. No effort, no commitment and unacceptably low standards. Second half was much better but the game was already over at 18-0. The chances we bombed were shocking, particularly Wilkin. He was put clear 30 out and literally jogged ten meters and threw a ridiculously lazy pass. Had he put the effort in he'd have either scored or given someone a walk in try. But no, that's too much effort. Peyroux dropping the ball was almost as bad but no surprise, he's the worst overseas signing we've made in decades.
Luke Douglas anyone? Send him back now, what an absolute pudding. He's going to make Josh Perry look like a true Origin great if he continues like this. He cannot play next week, nor can Wilkin and KCs mate Dom.
Other noticeable failures? Adam Swift? Lomax? Both had shockers again. Tommy Lee? Remind me again what his purpose on earth is? He had me intrigued last week when he did okay but I'm back to hating him now. Adam Walker? With his history, why sign him if we're not going to play him? Is he the new Ghostmont?
Worst thing about us? All KCs talk about unleashing us was all lies. Leigh promoted the ball, play with urgency and offloaded at will, always looking for the ball and making runs. We were playing one out rugby for the first four tackles all night in their 20, they just don't have a clue what they're doing.
On tonight's evidence we're going to really struggle away from home this season.
