A quick play the ball is all devastating but only if you've made some yards to start with. That's why a good hooker running from dummy half was missed.

Makes you laugh how clueless some leigh fans are . Armistead is our best forward he always looking for the offload and looking to hit the ground allowing a quick play the ball allowing maconnell to run at the defence on the back foot like he did last night. Cant believe people are knocking him if anybody wants critiscing its donlan been a real dissapointment this year

Spot on.

How anyone can give Armi stick is beyond me! Best forward at the club.

I think C Hill is the best forward we have.

I agree Frank that Chris Hill is your best forward.

Disagree. He has the potential to be the best but is still learning his trade. Armi can slot into front row or back row and is therefore more adaptable, offers us more in attack with his off loading game, gives us a quick play the ball when needed and is strong in defence. He is also happy to make the hard yards out of our red zone. Hilly looks lost when he has been played in the second row but will always take some putting down. Needs to develop a good off load for me. Also needs to learn when to drop to his knees instead of always dragging two or three defenders that extra couple of yards. He is however always one of the top performers in the front row on the field and is getting better all the time.

Without a hand put on him .....watched Armistead closely last night and as soon as a hand touched him he dropped when he could have drove for the extra couple of yards - then play the ball quick to keep them on back foot/ catch them off side.

He has been superb so far this season, but last night he wasnt up to his usuall high standards.

Was like Samson last night.....lost all his strength now his hair as been cut off .
