Allways notice at the away games that Chris Hill is usually the first over to clap the supporters..........allways appreciates the supporters.

Well done Leigh.

I thought both teams were crap, but Leigh clearly felt they could win it after their first try and went for it.

We had most of the possession and the chances but, as usual this season, couldn't find a way over. Matt Calland said we were clueless while attacking Halifax's line last week, which seemed to annoy a lot of Widnes fans, but he was right. We had the same problem today too.


What the hell have Leigh done to Doran?

He was a good player last time we had him, but has become a penalty machine since he came back. He was trying to con penalties out of the ref for holding down and reefing. Twice he gave up the ball and lost possession doing that!

as regards the supporters, 400 sounded like 4000 amazing atmosphere we sang/clapped and shouted FORWARD in unison. but it did not help that widnes did ave both ends of east stand shut?????? Y ????????.

To be fair Barrow will be a tougher nut to crack than Widnes. I just hope we have enough left in the tank.

I think that stand holds 2000? Both ends were shut so i'd say 700 not 400 does it matter tho i don't think any other team in this league will take that many and I KNOW NO team in this league will create that kind of noise!!

So there's plenty of flag space! I'm proud to admit I was literally the last spectator to leave the ground, had to go across the front of the stand as they'd locked up the concourses

I don't think a Leigh crowd have celebrated a try that much since Rob Jackson against the Broncquins in 2005. Absolute utter bedlam, why can't it be like that every week?

Entire team were superb. Armistead was immense on one leg, as previously mentioned. Hill's dash to put Flynn in to touch will live long in the memory. Durbin, Watson, Marsh, McConnell all excellent when on the field at the same time. MOM has to be Lee Doran, he did more for us today than he did in the whole of last season!

Are you watching Kohe Love?

Thought man in the middle was an imposter other than that enjoyed the game got very exiting towards the end i could see stars from shouting too much and came away with a headache thought atmosphere in the east stand was great i'm very happy
