Chris Hill is a rock in the Leigh side, and isnt given the credit he deserves
i for one am proud of the lad, and proud of the fact he is a Leyther, and he is proud to be a Leyther

we have missed Dave Alstead due too injury, but boy he has made up for lost time yesterday, and his attitude was superb, his second try was superb
welcome back Dave

Steve Maiden....wow best game i have seen him play for a very very long time, keep it up mate

Dave Armistead... solid again, can see why he was voted Barrows player of the season for a few years

Hobbo, improving all the time

can carry on with every player, but it will take to long

keep giving 110% and you wont have any issues with any of the fans

And thats all you can ask for! I can't remember the last time we looked as up for it as we did in the second half.

When we started winning the collissions by running with conviction widnes struggled to slow us down - as we did with them in the first half. We also started winning the wrestle on the floor.

Hopefully the Aussie can arrive asap to bolster the squad - and i would think it was christmas if we could sign an experienced prop to lead us round.

Moving up at speed and putting pressure on the ball was fantastic.

thats the best we have played for a v long time in mho - think it was the 100% effort that did it for me!

A few things to work on:

Discipline - at times could have cost us.
work on our attack - at times we are still clueless - but a big improvement.
Hobson - work on his fitness and holding the ball - not his biggest fan - hope he makes me eat my words

Maybe Paul Rowley has instilled that little bit of team spirit that may have been missing. Watson suggetsed as much in the post match interview

Definitely got that impression from our performance in the last hour of the game, though I'm sure that was boosted with the support of the crowd.

No chance, we've found in the past that he isn't cut out to play in the second row - he was all the attributes of a top front rower, and he's certainly showing it at the minute.

Discipline was excellent first half (winning the penalty count at 5-3 in the first half IIRC) but we fell to pieces at one stage in the second half, giving away 4 penalties in one set of six Think I got the final count at summat like 11-8 to Widnes, but I lost count late on

Just in the middle of watching again and we gave 5 in a row, the 5th when they took the 2 points
