Poor today : Sun Mar 01, 2009 10:21 pm
Thought the game was pretty terrible today - I have said it before, I honestly think that the standard in the Championship (National League) has gone down hill. Or maybe it is the lack of skill and flair from the Leigh team for the last couple of years - I'd give anything for the Terzis/Millward era when we played with style and had far better quality.
Clearly the budget is a lot less this year and previou years but IMHO we urgently need a quality half back and a quality experienced prop.
Thought we srtruggled against a big aggressive Whitehaven side - however was that challenge on Donlan late, deliberate and serious foul play? Wish they would change the rules - fed up of incidents like that being put on report - unless I didnt properly see it?
Ridyard was targeted in defence, they broke at ease down his side - and bombed a couple of golden chances. For me he has to defend outside the winger.
Higson was quality.
Ridyard, Watson and Jock - very poor today, balls going to ground, lack of creativity and organisation.
I hope we get it together for the next home game.
Attendance of 1700, be interesting to see how the attendances go for the league games - for me there seems to be a lack of kids considering the great current offer - I hope crowds pick up - and that Leigh address this issue.
Also it is clear to everyone that we lack creativity at half back, the club are aware of it and i'm sure that NK is too. I just hope we improve or sign another decent player.
Role on better rugby!
