Leigh reaction.

Okayyyy well I hope he plays big minutes and puts in a big performance next Sunday .. A tooth abscess that lasts 4 days must be some abscess .. Tooth ache can be bad I guess .. I played on the same day as getting 2 wisdom teeth out a few years back .. I guess if he could have played he would

I thought you were having the wisdom teeth put in ?

Latu tom and Alex must be close to a return now.

The feel good factor came back with a bang today! What an effort, it was a dire situation to be in but brilliantly managed .

How have we struggled to score up to now when we can score tries like that?? You knew it would take its toll having one sub but we never rolled over and scored a fantastic try to finish.

[dkw]

You've gotta hope that kind of effort will bring this squad together, that kind of display against such adversity must create a camaraderie, especially for the young uns.

[Guest]

Other players who stood out for us were Liam McCavoy for a herculean defensive display, bet he can't walk in the morning, ......

 

Not just in defence he must have taken in it more than any other and was it him that took that sneaky forearm smash in the face from Acton?

[Hate the rec]

Ritson getting MOM will have massively boosted his confidence as well. He'll be raring to go next week

You should have heard his after match speech in the TM lounge after the match, Mr Fryer commented that it was better than an Oscar speech , also nice to see all the team in there congratulating the young lad, very well deserved

Latu was training a good hour before the match and apparently looking good !!! cant be far away.

Just got back from Workington and would like to join the Town fans, in singing (well, shouting!) the praises of your side. We noticed that there were only 14 players taking part in the pre-match, but only realised after the game, that you only used those 14! Makes me wonder what the result may have been, had you had four fit subs to use!

 

Well done on an outstanding performance in an extremely adverse situation. It's easy to brush off our performance by saying we played poorly, but the old adage says that you play as well as you are allowed to play, and you posed us no end of problems.

 

A special word of praise for young Ritson. I was watching the video of your recent cup game at ours - now that was a game where you did allow us to play - and Ritson gave Tom Armstrong ten yards start and had caught him within twenty! He does look seriously quick, and had an appetite for work too.

 

So, very well played - those 14 are an outstanding credit to your club. Oh, and feel free to cause similar problems to the likes of Batley, Bradford, London, etc!

Have you seen his face  123 ? I suspect you haven't , the lad was in real pain, you must be a realun marra, have you told Wayne Bennett your harder than Sam Burgess, am sure England could do with you pal,  you will have the Aussies bricking it

[Townie123]

Haha ano pal but I don't get paid for the pleasure ha I guess I'm the stupid one ...

Not me being negative however on him not playing but like some others you only read certain posts ey

[Hate the rec]

Take a bow Jamie Doran and Carl Forber today, two players who have took some stick lately, both played extremely well today, well done lads. 

And a very well done Mrs Forber, thanks for taking it easy on Carl on your wedding night , expected him having a bad back

[Townielad1985]

Wow from getting stuffed last week at Leigh too that the lads can hold there heads high!! For me should of been a win! +36 start at bookies too alot of people will have lost there money!

Jamie doran had had an exceptional two games over easter. Well done lad!this lad has has some criticism but IMO he has stood up this weekend !

[Kick]

Fantastic heart warming effort from 1-14 well done lads on the downside poor officials missing some really cheap shots

[Hate the rec]

Nice to see Cottercash supporting Town again, I hear things arnt all rosy down Fatland way

[budgiezilla]

For all the money leigh have spent over the last 2 seasons, sammut is still head and shoulders above anyone in there squad.

Yes he's good, but you're judging Sammut after 1 home game against us....'head and shoulders above any Leigh player'' I doubt it very much.

Outstanding, Outstanding, first class effort and we played some great rugby as well, Ritson and Gordon particularly impressive. 14 players (prob only 10 fit) just as good as Leigh's full time international squad, Leigh supporters around us where extremely complimentary regarding Towns performance today.

Apparently Micky Higham's a great player!

[Death to the Rah Rah's]

superb backs to the wall performance and all the players to a man deserve a huge pat on the back.

 

However, the current injury situation requires urgent action and I hope that PV is using his contacts in the game to bring in some much needed reinforcements on a months loan to allow those lads carrying injuries some recovery time.

 

Sunday's game against Swinton is huge, and we have to win - simple as.

 

There is football in this team, and they showed yesterday they know how to play, so let's see some of the same this weekend

[Seaton Sandy]

one thing I noticed on Friday Doran is solid and not really overweight,maybe not the best half back at this level but lets no one down at hooker 

I have reffered to Jamie's weight on here before ,but only in the context of the half back position for which I think he lacks mobility. I fully agree that he had his best game for Town yesterday at hooker -quite possibly that role suits his physique better. Who knows me might have another Keiron Cunningham on our books!     What I did notice was the manner in which he acknowleged the fans applause-he clearly thrives on support so I for one will get off his back and let him get back to the form that Wigan saw in him .
