It's a patched up side with zero continuity, full of kids and loanees who are trying their best.
It's a clean slate for me next year so I don't see the point of much hand wringing at this stage.

Cartwright will be having nightmares about Kai ODonnell running at him for weeks

Re: Leigh Away : Sun Aug 11, 2024 5:09 pm  

I'm sure Cartwright will be fine it was his first game for months.

Gone back to Smiths tenure with the last 2 scorelines….Grix way out of his depth…what’s he doing with them in training?

Give over will you.
It's night and day between Grix and Smith.
What did you expect was going to happen with young kids, loan signings and players simply not good enough against a good Leigh team.

Today’s score line wouldn’t bother me too much if Leigh hadn’t played 3 games in 10 days, they looked fit, sharp and even when down to 12 by far the more comfortable team.

I appreciate there’s young lads and loanees in there, and it can’t be easy, but I’m truly fed up of these results happening towards the back end of the season.

TBF - You have a raft of injuries, doing it tough, and you're going through a transition phase also. Whether you're bringing the right player's in or not is for another debate. For me, criticizing isn't the right approach right now, and see how it pans out for the start of next season.

Where any of his trys Cartwrights fault, would have to watch them again, but don't remember at the time. Think he was off fir two of them also with a HIA.

I’m not just on about today….i just don’t rate him,he should have gone with Smith and Gene as he was part of the batterings,he is out of his depth,doesn’t call out senior players and,in my opinion a bully to the younger players…just my humble opinion.

The good news is that both Aydin and Cartwright passed their HIAs.
So with Sao, Lane and Chamberlain back next week we might actually be able to put something of a pack out.

Re: Leigh Away : Sun Aug 11, 2024 8:53 pm  

I had the misfortune to be late in and turned it on at 16 - 12. It was a horror show after that. Too many players not putting the effort in again and shocking discipline

Fash too, our pack tired today we was fatigued late on, lots of penalties and defence first thirty, Cartwright impressed me, we struggled when he went off for HIA, we need the experience back next week, if no suspensions from this week some tough decisions for Grix on Saturday. I can see him resting Martin next week he's close to the minutes played scenario. People will bag Fash and Lane but we need more experience in the pack IMO. Walker did well at 6 I know he's not a natural but he makes breaks and yardage. Not sure on Chan, Gardiner and Jebson won't play next week. Ashworth can't be far off being back.

I'd go
Moy
Barron/Martin
Carlos
Chamberlain
Briscoe
Walker
Charles
Eseese
Smith
Aydin
Lane
Cartwright
Sao
Subs
Balmforth
Fash
Eseh
Ruan
