I second that.

I'm sure things will come together eventually but we really do need to stop playing the boring forwards game and getting beat at it week in, week out. We are doing the basics so poor like supporting the man with the ball and running angles, we just don't do it and make hardly any yards. Our Left hand side defence got showed up again last night. On a positive note a great return from Rudd and surely he now deserves a run in the team and hopefully the rest of the team will copy him and run onto the ball

If Rudd is not the 1st name on the team sheet at Batley, there is something seriously wrong............watched him closely last night and the lad was superb in both attack and defence.
Welcome back Adam (at last).

easy to see whats wrong,its your forwards mainly but what have you done to Donlan he didnt look interested.Watson and Mort gave 100% cant say that about the rest probaly Stanton apart.

no disrespect to mort but Donlan HAS TO BE AT FULL BACK.

He is being wasted elsewhere

This is the way Kelly's teams have always played but he's had better personnel to put it into practice.

Thought we'd turned a corner at the back end of last season but seem to have gone backwards in the off season and never recovered.

Let's hope we can turn another corner... very soon.

Stuart will be good at stand off but the forwards aren't setting a platform for he and Watson to play with.

No drive, no go forward, no penetration. We looked a yard or two slower a lot of the time and their doesn't seem to be any urgency.

Can't remember him playing at S/O in his youth for us or anytime during his time in SL.

Learned most of his trade @ Full Back and would benefit Leigh best playing there for us now.

Stuart played stand off on the Academy, before graduating to the first team.

Where he played FB unless I'm missing something.
His experience there at the moment would be invaluble. Turley had the chance to learn his first team trade behind a very good team - Mort doesn't have that luxury
