phildog Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Left hand defence is non-existent, nobody sliding across and standing off their no6. Regardless of who the opposition is you have to do the basics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog forever Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Terrible Terrible 1st half. Totally outplayed in every position. I really don't expect us to win, but I thought we would have showed some bulldog spirit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh look such a good side, their forwards rolling over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

distantdog Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Well one to forget. We were poor but they were excellent across the park, We need to move on quickly and get back to winning those games against those in our mini league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog forever Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Didn't expect that. What an awful display by our lads. Worst I have seen us play in a long time. Credit to leigh though, what a brilliant performance by them. London next week, so let's get back to playing like we know we can. From what I have seen tonight leigh are a class above fev , and now have my vote to go straight back up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 They owe the club across the board on Sunday. Discipline doesn't improve, ball management was awful tonight, ripped open out wide 6 times with no defence interested in getting across. We need to do ALL the basics right on Sunday, throw Batley tackling and Bulldog spirit into the mix and some gumption with the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The scrim reaper Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Didn't expect to win tonight but never expected that! We never got going first 3 tries where like watching action replays! Leigh where good, but we just never turned up even talking to leigh fans after they thought it would have been a tougher game, too many mistakes and no intensity from our boys, shame we had our worst display this season in front of the TV camera's. One to forget I reckon! Edited May 16, 2022 by The scrim reaper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clogdance Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 If we'd have played like we did against Sheffield last week then we may not have won. Sport is weird isn't it ? Like when you played Featherstone twice in the space of 7 days earlier in the season, absolutely anything can happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep The Faith Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Our worse performance of the last 18 months - we couldn’t complete many sets… and we didn’t build pressure at all… move on to London Broncos Sunday we go again! http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

LuckyDog Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Miles off tonight, we never gave ourselves a chance, how many errors in possession? But credit where’s it due, they were miles better than us. Outside backs must’ve been twice the size of ours, just too strong in all areas. They’ll take some stopping. I was gonna boycott the Bash as it’s only in Leeds, but that Fev v Leigh fixture on the same day as us might just be worth hanging around for…. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy's mate Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Far too many errors individually and not what we're used to at the Mount. Having said that Leigh were very good. There aren't many teams that can and will roll over us like they did. Going to be an interesting 1895 final and play off final when Leigh & Fev get there!

J Phil Loxton Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Leigh are a very good side and them and Fev have two very contrasting styles which makes it intriguing. Let's not forget that your lads had done a day's work before facing an excellent full time side. Fev got 50 plus against you and look what happened next. Every game is different. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silcoates Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I thought Batley would give them a good game. Very disappointing for a TV match. I noticed our chairman [[RAMS] was in the stands enjoying the snap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverback Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Likes been said some players finished work couple of hours before kickoff, but it dident look a patch on the team that met fev part 2. tackling were shocking under sticks,we were due a hicup at some point and am sure it will be back on the horse sunday,for just how good leigh are they sure have unhappy looking players.

RogerT Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Interesting to note that when Leigh were playing uphill at the scrum they kept holding the ball in the scrum like in Union to try and catch Batley offside. Workington in the last match struck and won the ball at the scrum against the head. Maybe we have to get smarter. Roll on Sunday.
