Hard at it today so couldn't make the trip. Will view the match on Centurions TV on (probably) Tuesday. For now, well done to your boys. :thumb:

Great result. Shows what a difference it makes having a half on the field.

Thought your 'non half', Wildie, had a very good game. He's done that to us at Fev too, when pressed into service at half back.

Re: Leigh (H) : Mon Mar 25, 2019 8:54 am  
Again I thought it was our defence that won us the game. We started slowly and seemed a bit mesmerised whenever Higham had the ball. Thankfully once we got some decent field position we took our chances, something we'd not been great at recently. Lovely play from Milnes to put Webster through a gap and his kick for Storton to score was really well worked.

I thought Leigh looker slicker in attack but they couldn't seem to make it pay off. As things got a bit frustrating with the number of penalties given Leigh seemed to lose composure. Pownall's sin binning was pretty typical of him. He was sinbinned for gobbing off at Halifax earlier in the season and he did it again here. Them losing Hood into the sin bin also helped us a lot too.

As for our second half I thought there were a couple of pivotal moments. Ryan's try in the corner from dummy half being one and the cover tackle from Evans and Gibson to keep Marsh out being the other. We seemed to kick on from there and it was our defence that forced the errors for the Wildie and Evans long range tries. DFJ would've had one too but for an ankle tap.

Thought the pack was immense. Webster really adds some leadership and toughness too. We struggled a bit in attack at times but it was yet another halfback pairing. When we get a settled combination I'm very optimistic about getting int the top 5.

A good win against good opposition, imo.

Hard to argue against much of what has already been said, though I think our defence was really the key for the final scoreline. Leigh probably started the 'final push' a bit early and were trying bit too much to push the pass when it just wasn't on. Who knew Wildie had so much pace? Despite the final score, overall it was a good tight game and we maybe had a bit of good fortune to be given those late chances but we were good enough to take them.

The way we kept our composure when the handbags came out impressed me. In games like this in the past we’ve got too caught up in that and gone away from the gameplan. The young lads are maturing nicely in this respect. Perhaps we learnt some lessons from the Sheffield match?

Leigh were terrible 'with the ball' 2nd half and wouldn't have scored for another hour after the final hooter....even if the Bradford Bulls players had left the field ! :lol: :lol:

It was certainly a good day to play Leigh, who were well out of sorts. The sin binings didn't help their cause either. We probably got the rub of the green this time, but it was good to see us ruthlessly exploit it.
Imaginative team selection was a good sign and it all worked. It's a very competitive league and this was an important win.
Ps not sure if "binings" is an actual word. Apologies if not : :D
