Wakefield Ram Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 No prizes for picking a winner for this one. Given the extreme heat warning for Sunday, hopefully there'll be some extra water breaks. Just hope for another improved performance and no injuries. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think that explains his betting the farm this season? Get into SL the year before they pull up the ladder.

Blind side johnny Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Like all other Rams fans I will be turning out in the hope of seeing a spirited performance but nothing more. The gap between FT players and their PT opponents is simply too great to have any real hopes of anything more. FT doesn't simply mean the opportunity to be fitter and less tired from other work but also a total focus upon RL, and especially winning. Becoming a FT player isn't just a matter of luck, either; you need to be a very good player in the first instance. Anyway, let's hope that the club makes some money for next season's recruitment pot and the bus fares to Cornwall.

Crown Flatter Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Unfortunately it’s oh so easy to predict the outcome of this game. As long as we continue to show improvement I can accept the inevitable defeat. Dewsbury 6-54 Leigh Try scorer: Gabriel MoM: Gill Att; 1220 Legs, Dews, Legs.

And as for staying up, no we haven't got anywhere near as good a chance as London and Whitehaven as they have more points and only a few games to go.

Because of the quota limit, think Leigh will struggle to recruit. Hard to get players to sign for the favourites for relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield Ram Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Big well done to the players esp those that did the full 80. Certainly no issues with fitness and they battled to the end against a much bigger, stronger, faster FT team. Can't see anyone beating Leigh for the rest of the season and given how much they've spent, they should. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Agree. Tough 80 minutes that but the lads kept going and defended pretty well in that last quarter when I thought Leigh might cut loose and run it past 70 points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outside view Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Today was never going to be about the result Leigh are simply on another level to everyone else. I thought the lads tried for the full 80 minutes and they deserve credit for that. Going in to the game I’d have accepted a 50 point loss so to lose by 54 and be on the wrong end of the worst refereeing performance I’ve seen in a very long time.I think the two sides were playing to two different sets of rules for a full time referee that is the inexcusable.

graham fisher Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Good effort by the lads today. My only gripe was on two or three occasions they were waiting for the ref to blow his whistle,forward passes,knock ons etc,play to the bloody whistle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolie Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Tom Grant A referee who's career is going backwards Appalling decisions, 10-3 penalty count Think he only spotted 1 Leigh forward pass all game He'd be in Championship 1 for the foreseeable future until he gets things right Hopefully we won't get him again this season...

SUPERSTUD Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Gave it a go and it is what it is. Spotted two potential rule breaches by Leigh today not that it affected the result. 1. Two members of staff up and down the South Stand touch line carrying water. Both were actually shouting instructions to the Leigh players during the game. Basically not allowed and should have been dealt with by officials. 2. Krisnan Inu not wearing official match day kit. His socks were white training socks. Just saying. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
