I suspected that you were loaded 'Maurice', but a millionaire, eh? I just want you to know that I have always valued you as a good mate.

For what it's worth, my opinion is that anyone and everyone, who puts their hand in their pocket, to help save 'our' club, is deserving of respect - and they are even entitled to hold an opinion, about anything and everything. (even another club)

I'm with you, on this one!

Alan, in all honesty Maurice is not only a great Leigh supporter but an all round nice guy, him and me have had our banter bouts over the years , but I have the utmost respect for him.
Again everyone is entitled to voice their opinion, again we may not agree but everyone is still entitled to say what they think.

Mo you are one of life’s good guys, keep rollin.

I don't know Maurice or Alan afaik but their posts always seem reasonable Morvans came across as uncalled for but everyone is entitled to their opinion

Really feel that our game management let us down again yesterday , at 60 minutes in bad conditions with both teams struggling to complete a set and endless knock ons , that was the time to properly set up and take a drop goal and the lead , putting extra pressure on the opposition , we always seem to be re-active rather than pro-active

This is going to be a very tough game, because although newly promoted, they like us, held Toronto to 14 points and have won at Bradford, plus in their last home match put over 50 points against Barrow. Crowds are improving and for the first time this season thee are 3 stands being opened. I believe this is our first visit to Bootham Crescent, but it is a fast surface which should suit us down to the ground. Pownall is back, but should he go to full back to allow Riddy to go back to the halves? Hopefully we will have our Saints contingent back, as we are facing a well coached side by a James Ford.

Pity it took John Duffy 30 minutes to realise Riddy is not a full back!!

Re: York on Sunday : Mon Mar 04, 2019 6:39 pm  

Pownall played very well, as did all in those conditions and some came up with some big minutes too.

It would be a shame if it took another injury to Woods to highlight that our obvious best halve combination is Richardson and Riddy.

Still need a bit more speed and far calmer heads, hopefully the supposed return of Liam Hood and provide a bit of this, the York game was 2 points we lost but it was an entertaining match between to fairly well matched teams.

Most definitely one of those games, if you get down there make sure you come back with any points. Just took too long to figure that out.

Re: York on Sunday : Tue Mar 05, 2019 9:39 am  

I'm in two minds on whether it was bad game management, or just simply missed chances. Either way it wss a frustrating game to watch. We had two missed drop goal attempts, a missed penalty, Thornley's drop with the line at his mercy in the first half, bombed chance the tackle immediately before and Thornley unable to drop onto a kick through in the second half.

We need McNally back into our attack asap, because without him we look too slow. I think a poor kicking game in good conditions from Toronto tricked us into a bad selection. York dominated the first 20 minutes every kick led to either a knock on or a poor start to a set. I think Cox will be on the wing now until McNally is fit.

Anyone know why Higginson and Holroyd aren't getting a look in?
