| Quote Starbug="Starbug"While I agree on the tactical point, this was a play off game played for the most in terrible conditions, it was never going to be a ' classic ' , and not the free flowing type of match to attract the casual fan to attend in the future, the time to entertain is your regular season games
My criticism is do we stick to a gameplan too ridgidly sometimes, when in conditions like today opportunities open up that can and should be exploited?'"
Teams usually adapt to the conditions and fans adjust their expectations as to what sort of game they will witness. Irrespective of conditions they want to see commitment, endeavour, tactics ,innovation and ideas. What they don't want is to be bored to death, when the fans know what is coming next it stands to reason the the opposition will know as well.

| We need a quality scrum half, people have a go at riddy, well not me, you go to work tonorriw and do your job and the persons next to you. That is what he,s been doing for ages, because brierley just aint at the races, and aint a number 7. I shall pose a question, do you think we have re-signed too many of the current squad?

| Unless we sign Ellis or the likes of our best halve back combination would be Riddy & Govin they would compliment each other brilliantly IMO

| One thing ive learned after watching Leigh over 50 yrs they will let you down more times than they will excite you big blow today was Hopkins and Gardner injured both lads have a bit of class and are powerful and in my opinion would have made a difference on the outcome of todays game Batley deserved their win had more power up front and a bit off class at halfback Leigh lost that match because of poor disipline in the first half and a inability to play the ball quickly Riddy seemed to try his best to move them around but most of the time they took the ball flat and Batley smashed em.Next season hopefully we can bring in a bit of pace out wide and a bit more power up front at times today it looked like men v boys in the forward battle All in All aint been a bad season just shows tho that we aint that far off Thanks Lads for the effort this season and that great final win

Well we will see.
I thought Brierley took a knock to his leg in the first half and consequently wasn't his usual self.
We will see in about 3 months wether we have retained players we shouldn't.
For all the criticism we scored 3 tries to their one and truth to tell our discipline cost us.
Would we have won next week anyways ? Well who knows but I don't think Batley will (and no Batley fans that's just how I see it).
From a personal point of view now we are finished for this season I think I know who will win the Grand Final.
Mentioned to a few mates today with the money I save next week I will get a new pair of shoes.
Like the tune over the tannoy at the end Always look on the bright side.

I'd like to see Hurst, Rowe and Smith's meters compared to Duffy, Ostick and Bate. Battered up front.[/quot
Also thought John Davies was immense, put in a great clever shift, given the conditions!

| Quote quinny="quinny"not been bitter just stating that it would point to batley giving them more of a game than fax would as your 16-30 & 40-18 defeats against them probably proves...also looks like Sheffield might be back on the horse so don't be booking your final tickets just yet....'"
Im not sure our results point to you giving them a better game, we could say the league table points the other way, we both know RL does not work like that.
Dont worry about Sheffield I wont be counting my chickens and realize how tough a game it will be. Its 2 apiece in the games against them this year so its almost the decider. They have a ton of injuries though and we have a great chance, at home to a broken team, as a Fax fan though I know nothing is a given.

IMO very harsh on Ridyard. He's been far and away our most creative player this season. For me, the problem arises when he's having to do it all - even Yorkshire players (  ) can predict that the ball will go to him every time.

| Next season put Govin in't halves & Brierley to full back & problem solved. I really hope Rowley see it that way too as I honestly believe that would be our best combination.

| I reckon Ryan was playing on 1 and a half legs today ,and Riddy like has been had to do it all and it was just too much yesterday . We where in try scoring positions a couple of times and should have scored but the passes went awry ,at one point he stood with the ball what seemed liked 5 seconds before he passed it .Batley's number 7 kicked Leigh to death and that for me won them the game . Another big mistake was McNally letting the ball go dead when the ref signalled that the ball had been touch ,we were all shouting for him to pick it up. To score 3 tries to 1 and loose is hard to take .
