Can see where you are coming from Printer.
But I really think we are struggling to get any structure going.
We should have a few more of our under 19s pushing for a place now similar to Wigan.
Not sure how much beatings our current pack can take and with the slowest half backs in SL I cannot see where we can turn it round.
like I said maybe Thursday will prove me wrong mate.

That's the thing really, the key word structure.

Some think I'm allergic to throwing the Academy lads in and they point out how Wigan do it. But I just take into account the clubs have very different styles.

We do lack structure especially in attack at times so it's not as an easy environment to throw too many young lads in at once IMO. More experienced guys can cope with that better, for all our faults one of our positives is that we usually stay calm if we're behind on the scoreboard, on the back foot for a period in the game, it's taking us time to score points etc.

Just sometimes people saying it works for them (Wigan) so we should do it too is a bit too simplistic a view of things IMO.

In what way can you come up with that?

In a much more logical way than most of the stuff you've posted on this thread.
You got caught out after blathering on about Leigh being no threat, they turn up and play mistake free football, defend superbly for 80 minutes, operate and stick to an effective game plan and create chances. We were lucky twice in the first half and very, very lucky once in the second half. Now you've come up with the magical theory that a team full of inexperienced players would have coped better with that than our best available side.
You really will post anything you think backs up your opinions no matter how wrong you are shown to be.
Your total misjudgement of the challenge Leigh posed ( thankfully not shared by our coach) really sums up your contributions to this board.

I am going to put that post down to a one off, and presume you are on your period, because I know you are better than that. What a really childish post for you.

I stated before the game that Leigh would be no threat. They shouldn't have been, and wouldn't have been for other super league sides, we were poor. The fact the bookies had them down as a 38 point start backs up that theory fully.

At no point, anywhere, have I suggested had we had a team full of inexperienced players we would have coped better. I suggest you grow up here, and read the thread fully. In the early pages, I actually agreed with fully with two other posters suggesting what the side should be, and it was a mixed side, and one that allowed enthusiasm and hunger, and the experience around it to hold it together. The fact that you only see one way or the other, is your problem not mine. The fact we were so poor, suggests exactly that a change would have been for the better.

I suggested Mulhern in the forwards, and Handley on the wing, with Minchella on the bench before the game began, and stick by that. I think that would have given us more hunger and enthusiasm, and would have served much better than what we got.

I agree with gotcha here, I give full credit to Leigh who really out enthused us at times but that doesn't mean they deserved to win, I felt we always had enough to win the game. I probably wouldn't have tampered with the backs, but I would have started singleton and either rested Kylie or put him on the bench and had either mulhern, or minichella on the bench in place of kirke.

You only have to look at the enthusiasm, and freshness Walters brought, a player who I thought looked pretty decent to say he's only been playing league a year ran hard and tackled hard.

For me it was our fitness levels that won us this game in the end - Leigh simply ran out of steam at the end and got sloppy, but for the first 70 mins they were with us blow for blow.

When I get challenged I will let you know. But your childish effort above wouldn't really be considered that.

Of course if you wanted to show me where I have put the points you are having your tantrum over, then I will be more than willing to explain or apologise.

Just because it is an internet forum, doesn't mean the dummy has to be spat out when something upsets you.

I'm struggling to see any tantrum anywhere but from you. I didn't agree with you and I explained why. Nothing you have since posted (insults included) gives me any reason to change my mind. Suggesting someone is " on their period" because they point out inconsistencies in your posting style is weak, but it's the best you've got so I guess you have to stick with it.
The casual nature you throw stuff like that into your posts when debating with people who don't agree with you is something that can be found through your entire posting history. It's casual intimidation to cover up your inconsistencies and lack of any real insight into the subject you post on.

Conversation is over.

Actually. As you are the one acting the child here, conversation will be over when I say.

I asked you one question on the previous page, and your answer is there. You the only one with insults up to that point. I took your response for the tone it was written, a tantrum, and similar to the style of a women on her period. So if I have you wrong with it, then I will apologise for saying that.

But go back over your response, and tell me truthfully who was the one over reacting, and who was the one throwing insults. You stated I had said something, that never occurred, yet despite me mentioning it twice since, you still haven't shown this to back it up.
