Gelling should have got 10 minutes for unsporting behaviour and being an arrogant nice person

My post has obviously been edited.

Correct.

Their last try was offside so not a bad result for a Leigh side way below full strength.

I'd bring Hampshire back in the centre next week Higson and Riddy back and leave that young lad from Hull on the other wing.

We were robbed yesterday cos Hicks had a bad game and Hatty did not put anything in my cup.

Just watching Cats v Widnes , in similar conditions to last night both teams making sure if close to opposition line on the last tackle they force a drop out

I popped over to the AJ Bell.Very heavy ground made worse by the RU match Friday..Wire had one forward on the bench Benny Westwood..Bad call or forced I don't know..Same with us.

If there was a question,I'd have to ask of the coaching team last night,Why wait so long for fresh legs?

Hampshire @Centre in place of who - I'm more of a Centre than he is, Tonga and Crookes look very good for me.

Wing or in the halfs, or Brown gets injured are his only opportunity IMO

I'd definitely keep Naughton on one of the wings. I think he will get better and better has he gets more game time, especially when the weather starts to improve.

Strange isn't it , on virtually every thread about every team in every game we see the same comment

" we were poor because of the bad weather , and we'll be better when we get to the drier pitches "

It's often used as an excuse for losing , so the assumption is the team that won wont improve with the weather

Oh What a Night!! Friday night just highlighted to me why have got to stay in this league. I have enjoyed our times in the championship however, Super League is quite literally, a different league! We had a crowd of over 9000 against saints and almost 16000 on Friday night, the atmosphere generated in these grounds is fanatastic!

As for the game itself, we certainly managed to compete with the World Champions and Grand Final Winners! yes though it pains me that's what Wigan are Fortunately we won't need to beat Wigan to stay in this league but, a Challenge Cup victory at LSV against them would be very nice
Who would have thought a Leigh team minus Martyn Ridyard, Gregg McNally, Dayne Weston, Adam Higson and Cory Patterson could compete with Wigan, I certainly didn't, all these players played a massive part in our campaign last season particularly in the middle 8s! and they are due to return to the playing squad soon, other than Gregg who will be later in year! The future is great, we will definitely compete in this league!
I think it is time for Riddy to return to the team, we are at our best when he is pulling the strings we certainly missed his field kicking at Wigan when on a night like that and the conditions, it would have put Wigan under a real test. Reynolds has filled in well however, he will never be able to influence a game like Riddy can! Our poor field kicking was one of the reasons we failed to score, Wigan's defence was another! Wane said post match," they didn't trouble us" oh really ? I would think they stopped more try line chances than we did? we where inches away on several occasions in that second half!!
It would be a remiss of me not mention your friend and mine, Bobby Hicks! What a plonker! he once asked me why Leigh fans didn't like him I told him I only had an hour and there wouldn't be enough time
I'm really pleased with the squad we have assembled and the Team is now taking shape. Big wraps to Atela Vea I was unsure about this guy at first however, what an engine he has he is fast becoming a regular player in the 17! A personal pleasure for me has been to see Willie Tonga show us how he managed to achieve 12 Kangaroo Caps! On a shocking night (weather wise) he was able to draw opponents in and release Matty Dawson with passes only world class players are able to do wonderful! I've not seen such centre play at Leigh since the days of Steve Donlon
After 63 years of supporting Leigh it is just getting better, the Stadium, administration, players et al....
to see families heading to the LSV in droves on match days/nights is truly fantastic!!
Enjoy the ride
