Big Barrie Mac : Fri May 15, 2009 7:58 am  

I'm Just watching the game again, and a majority of fans seem to have had a go at Ian Watson over the years he has played for us,

Big Barrie Mac says

Ian Watson was the best positional kicker he has ever played with, and the hardest to play against......

all credit to every Leigh player last night, all credit to the Leigh fans who created the atmosphere last night.

And all credit to the coaching staff, its started to turn round already

not a bad crowd, considering the rain, and being on sky

Widnes fans sorry...... but your following was pathetic

keep up the good work Leigh

And the fans will always back you up

One very Happy leyther

Come on Leigh

Something I felt necessary to point out on another thread.

Who knows best? Ex Professional GB players or moaning supporters?

He actually said one of the best etc.....

Watto disappeared in the GF against HKR for us, but overally I think he is a quality player.

Watson had a couple of poor kicks but overall an impressive performer - bar his great spot when Morty was out wide, I thought Webster was the weaker player of the two last night.

I thought we should have targetted him more. Maden burst through two of his tackles last night and we scored from one of them.

Think he had a touch of cramp late on as well, certainly seemed to be struggling in the line. I'd say we should learn from that should we meet in the play-offs, but I doubt he'll be there by the end of the season.

I know, I had one who went on all night but occasionally had to eat humble pie. It made me praise him more every time he did something good and I would turn to the lad and say out loud "hes poor that Watson aint he"
