Hull match thread - stop these slow starts! : Thu Mar 23, 2023 2:40 pm  

One problem Lam has to sort out is being slow out of the blocks. Look at the half time scores in the 5 games so far:-
4-12, 6-8, 12-19, 0-12 and 8-22. To get 2 wins from these is impressive, but it can’t go on indefinitely, especially against a confidence team like Hull. We’ve got to get into them early like Salford did which knocked the stuffing out of them.

Makes you wonder whether we consider starting and ending with Edwin for strong 25-30 minute stints, and have the other hooker play either side of the halftime. I know why we bring him on midway through the half but we do need a strong start. Then again, in Lammy I trust.

An absolute must to start strong. Hull will come at us early and try and blow us off the park. The longer it’s a tight game, the more nervous they will get. We score a couple early and get a good lead, who knows what it could end up.

If we can give up the slow starts and just get into the arm wrestle we can beat a lot of these teams, our attack is coming along but we need to just stay in the grind.

After the slow starts, a few of our points have been scored when the oppo have had players in the bin.

Lightning start to todays game!

Starting the second half against 12 men for almost 10 minutes, so another big stint required and we can put this game well in our control.

Hull 6 Leigh 16 H/T

Game getting tighter but we need to see this out.
13 mins left 12-22.

16-24.
Come on Leyth.
4 mins to go and we defend our line after a mistake from the kickoff gave Hull a lifeline.
Sounds like we have made too many mistakes in the second half (another knock on as I type) but a win here is a massive result from the lads. I’m on the edge of my seat here is Vancouver.

YESssssssssssssss.
Great result.
Well done lads.
16-24 !!!!!!!!!!!
Big shout to the traveling faithful. Sounded very loud on Leopards Radio.
“Leyther til I die” to end the game

Hull Must have been working on their defence over the last fortnight
From having 60 put past them to just 24 at home..
Or Leighs attack a bit casual today.!?!?.
