Indeed. We made hard work of that but credit to Leigh they took it to us.
Mellor was all over us and they got stuck in even though we had more size in the pack.

A wins a win but that was pretty poor to be honest. If Leigh had some forwards available so they didn’t fatigue as much at the end of each half we likely lose that.

Not really, some wins are ugly but the result is all that matters. Even Saints win without style on occasions.

We showed resilience, what more do you need.

Also had that been Cas we’d just beaten we’d be over the moon, credit to Leigh.

I couldn’t go but listened to the game which other than suggesting a scrappy performance also indicated that Kershaw appeared to lack the will to go for the line. This was also pointed out against Huddersfield therefore are they correct.

Tough game was that, Leigh were good value and gave a very good account of themselves, was a nervous last 15 minutes. Very dogged performance to get the points, not the prettiest but toughed it out which in games gone by we’d of folded. Thought James Bell and Adam Peats for Leigh were class.

It wasn’t a lack of desire he just hasn’t got that true wingers instinct. Can’t fault his effort he just lacks finesse.

With this going lad in the U19 coming through Lee will struggle I’m afraid

Unfortunately yes. He had a couple of runs into an open corner but lacked the confidence or maybe acceleration to get in. In one instance he actually lost the ball to the Leigh defender leaving our lads a bit flat footed to the counter attack. He also jumped up for a kick on their line and spilled the ball into the arms of a Leigh player giving them a counter attack again. Not a good day at the office really so I guess TJ will get his chance against Warrington. It must have been contagious as Lyne lost the ball going over in the same corner later
