Bolox to that - shout it from the rooftops!!!



Last season we started at a bit of a gallop, but our play became predictable - anyone who'd watched us could pretty much call what we were gonna do in the opposition 20, and it didn't take canny coaches long to work this out, and how to defend against it, and suss our major defensive frailty, and exploit it!!



Defence so far this season has improved vastly on last, and in attack we are a lot more 'off the cuff'-willing to keep the ball alive, and mix things up a bit near the opposition line. We've become 'unpredictable'......the sort of play the opposition coaches hate - 'cos you can't plan against it!!

Things will become a lot clearer in 3 weeks time when Fev come to town , good innit

Well mate you have been to all our games this season. You have been to Batley and watched Fax.



You have seen our pack play. You have seen how many duals we need. Armstrong will be available I think all season and you are worried about people like me telling it as we see it ?

I'm still scared from last season,lol.

and i said nah not me fred i like being at the top of the tree being shot at.

Last season was painful...i aint falling for that again frank.

Ah but you do not have to go on hope this season. We tackle better we can now score from our own half we have cover all over the park. We are good and you know it' as do most who are regular fans' and' even those who will watch us who are not as Leyth daft as most of us on here are will soon see.

I think leigh have a better team than fax and are the team to beat.

I say trust in Basil!! Last season, when the injuries started to bite a bit, you realised the squad was paper thin - with a pack that was heavily reliant on DC's - and not much in the way of a 'plan B' in key areas.



This season, I'd back our pack against any in the division (and one or two in SL!!) - and they aren't gonna get 'chopped and changed' from one week to the next, on the whim of a SL coach!!

Add to that the strength in depth we now enjoy around 6/7/9 and the solid performance of the youngsters we have promoted to the first team this season - and with a similar sized squad of players IM has manged to get the balance about right - with two DC spots to spare......and lets be honest, we'd miss neither Blythe nor Armstrong at the mo' - or last seasons 'talismanic figure', who has played less than five minutes in the last two games and, again, hasn't been missed!!

Well thanks WMFC and frankb for trying to rekindle my excitment for this season but i'm still going to reserve judgment and refused to get excited until at least halfway through the season.

yikes there is just no pleasing some people is there?!! What every Leigh fan who went to the game needs to do, is to tell everyone they meet this week just how good Leigh were on Sunday, and they had better get along to see what they are missing.



I am as pessimistic as the next man, maybe more so....but the scoreline speaks for itself. It is a long long time since we have ruthlessly put a team to the sword like we did today. Sheffield may have made a rough start to the season but they still have decent players on paper.



For goodness sake just enjoy the success and revel in the possibility that we can win a trophy this season. You have to admit, as has been said on this very thread...our squad is suddenly somehow much stronger than last year. Lets get behind the lads and support them to the hilt.



Proud to be a leyther (3000 miles away

If anyone saw the SL games last weekend just remember how many trys were scored from a kick, and compare our game and how many we scored from a kick, and say which was the better to watch.....

I think McGilvary (sp) had a great game aswell, he gets through an immense amount of work running the ball up in our own half, doesn't matter how much he gets hit he just gets up and rus again next time! his 2 tries were great as well, looked to be going nowhere and a couple of sidesteps he was in!



Great performance
