Gosh where do we start !

Well on a positive, a bloody turnstile and 'officials booth', looks good and the new 4G training pitch and landscaping, fantastic. Decent atmosphere pre game.

The game. Our boys looked very sharp in warm up and looked like lost souls in the game. Campese was a class above, Rovers forwards too strong, support play of SL standard, very impressive in spite of their injury issues.

Soward is on holiday, he has done nothing and steals Hughes money. Barthau is half the play he was early season and still cant tackle. The right flank exposed repeatedly (I hope we are signing up some actual centres for next year rather than converted full backs), forwards effort unquestioned but ineffective.

Yesterday showed us where we really are in relation to SL - miles away.

Why was Soward feeding the scrum or first receiver? What a waste. He's a great runner of the ball from 5/8th.

Do London bring out a highlights clip on YouTube or their site?

It posted without including my message!

Meant to say that while harsh your assessment is pretty fair. TBH I didn't go into the 8s with great expectations, to get anywhere we had to stop making silly mistakes and stop giving away daft penalties. KR were 24-0 up before we got that under a level of control!
Being sat among the visiting fans I have to say I really enjoyed the spell just before half time when we scored two tries - there was genuine panic among the fans and I think it transferred to the players. Was good fun having a natter with a few of their 'characters'!

Not being an ST holder I was impressed with the turnstile - and I'll be ever more impressed when the staff on duty work out what they're doing! I'll say no more than I'm glad I got there 45 mins before kick off.

Disappointing day, proof we are not Super League standard, not a big fan of Leigh, but they have done it the right way, lets see how they cope in Super League?

Where was Wes Naiqama?

Over with the Hendo during the game and in the bar after.

Yes.

#3 and 4 have hardly played most of the season hence why our centres #1 and 32. At times badly exposed.

Stapleton? Are they due back any time soon?
