Monkeymagic22 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Leigh far superior in every department today. A major worry for me would be Luke Briscoe, who always struggles with the high ball and just makes too many mistakes. Ferres also a penalty machine. One glimmer of hope is the likely improvement once we get Ford in the half's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because i dont if you'd watched over the last couple of seasons i dont think he's the answer i'm sure big mac will have seen enough of leigh and us today to know whats needed to compete he even said in is last interview that you need to be full time to play at the pace and impact of rugby at the top level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Briscoe Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Ye best team won by a mile today. They could have scored more. Their pack completely smashed ours. Too big, strong and quick. It reminded me a bit of when we play the lower teams and our forwards make yards at will. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to say but we will not get to SL with the team we'v got we are a top championship team but SL it up another level yes we have lost one game but you can see the difference in players leigh have to ours joey needs a kick up the ar#e or told to take a big pay cut because he's not worth what he's being payed cos he must be on a good crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManMarley Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Some seriously sub-par performances today. Discipline was poor and so was the strange approach of taking 2 three times? Have a go, take the game to someone, if we can attack their line then maybe we’d be less inclined to chuck the ball about in midfield? Massively disappointed in the “game plan” from McDermott. Leigh were really good in that 20mins of the second half and we folded big time under that! Hopefully we learn from this and hopefully McDermott does too, they have this and fingers crossed we have the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elppaxr2i Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Apart from Kheirellah struggling to think of anyone who stood out But he cant be excused - his descision at the end to knock the ball out appears to be a nightmare descision as got injured in that play and helped from the field Just a poor performance - our numerous 34/35/36 year olds in the forward pack looked its age today against that head down, younger more mobile leigh pack, which allowed Ipape to run the game Our ability in the backs to not take a tackle and try and offload it resulting in numerous knock ons early in the tackle count did nkt help us build any pressure That said i dont think we got the 50/50s - i dont mean the ref descisions, i mean the richochets, the bounce of the ball, the loose balls in midfield, everything seemed to fall leighs way It was not a performance that a Brian Mac team is famous for, but however poor we was we were still in the game with 10 mins to go & there are things that can be fixed up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingaro Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 As much as I think we have some great players, full time and size will win out in this division. We have no chance if we don't bring in some big mobile forwards. Do our players goad the away support? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Briscoe Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Agreed. It’s easy to go doom and gloom after one defeat but there was a pattern to the game today that a change in game plan won’t fix. Bigger, stronger forwards dominating the ruck and playing the ball much quicker. JSL got smashed about today. Bussey and Kopczak had very little impact going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eltel Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 not surprised fev need some young big forwards we are carrying too many oldies which will outdo most championship teams but taking anything like this team into super league will lead to a fair few trouncings. Just hope we get some new better forwards however I do feel if conner jones had played we would have done a lot better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeymagic22 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 A positive is that we know what we need to do now. As opposed to finding out in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott is sticking him on to chase the game? Baffling today, we were second best all over and McDermott got it really wrong for me. Panic interchanges and I know Jones being out changes a lot but I didn’t feel we weren't managed well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Phil Loxton Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I wasn't remotely surprised at today's performance or result. Leigh are a class above and could never understand some opinions that we were their equals. Fev are a very good championship side as proven but Leigh are much more superior. We rarely troubled their try line and did well to contain the score against us. Some of our talented players went missing today because the opposition were quicker and more talented. We've dished out some beatings and so when we get beaten you've got to take it on the nose. Well done Leigh best team by far. Up the Rovers and we go again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
