Always has that slight hesitation after receiving the ball, which often costs him the line. Hopefully Duffs can coach that out of him.

Wow Atomic my observation of Marsh exactly!!
I've only seen the Bradford match on Bulls TV which,I was amused listening to their commentator. he had me doubting who was actually playing for us He kept referring to Thornley as Higginson even though Thornley's squad number is 3 with his name was clearly visible on the back of his shirt
Did Higginson get replaced ? because it was Bentley at Centre in the second half!
Thornley and Marsh have spent the majority of their careers in Super League and consequently I did expect more from them! It is still early days in this season and Fax, Bradford and York have all got to come to Leigh now so, lets try and be positive

whats up with "johnny the jet" always thought he had more talent and character than higson

Re: Threequarters !! : Thu Mar 28, 2019 6:38 pm  

Most wingers nowadays have to be acrobatic to finish some chances, Marsh most definitely isn’t that but he does help our forwards out. Jonny is the much better finisher but has at least one howler of a mistake in him every game.

Really disappointed with Josh Woods and expected much better from someone who Wigan rate highly.

Higginson was dragged off by Duffy for a few poor mistakes.

We need 2 better line running back rows to hold defenders up before we will start to score many points against decent teams.

Well I dont know if you noticed but Johnny is back playing for Leigh but shares a similar common denominator as Higson.

ATTITUDE..

Edges have been poor from game one. Back rowers won't cure that.

Pace required.

A good back row in the modern game makes space for the 3rd pivot (Gregg) by getting defenders to “bite” in and create a 3 on 2 where he can pick pass. We are lacking that and I would suspect the signing of Laithwaite (TBC) is to remedy that.

Mcnally joins the line now, it's the edges that fail to read him or make an absolute hash of it. As for Laithwaite,can he still do the business? Thats a question he was asking himself by training with them.

Well I think Widnes should have got rid of Marsh a few years ago to be honest. Lost a lot of speed the past 3 years with injuries and he constantly keeps his head down when runs. He will show effort and surprised he has not got injured, as usually breaks down after a few games.

Re: Threequarters !! : Fri Mar 29, 2019 6:26 am  

It shows how sometimes things can work out or not. Look at Evans, hardly played for you guys, couldn’t stay fit yet hasn’t missed a games for the Bulls, I don’t think! Playing well too and turning into a decent signing

Jack Higginson has joined Rochdale Hornets on a month's loan.
