We all see the game differently, think the halves controlled the game, can’t believe more people haven’t talked about Asiata, the guy was immense he will be the best player in the championship this year

Agree about Asiata, he was immense. Lam did say there were more try's out there, and they will work on them areas. I just think Reynolds in particular hasn't got the rugby brain of being a smart halfback. Maybe I was a little harsh on Mellor as I think he will improve as the season progresses. We did play a poor Haven side yesterday, so it will be interesting to see how we go in our next 2 games. I know I've been banging the drum regarding Brierley but, he was one of our best players last season, and he wanted to stay. He could comfortably play in either the halves or at fullback. Anyway, let's see how we go.

A very good first runout yesterday. A very enjoyable match with some good fast attacking rugby by Leigh. I thought Whitehaven never gave up and continued defending hard right up to the hooter. They will be comfortably mid table on that performance. Leigh left some tries out there particularly on the left edge. I am not sure Reynolds is a six. He defends well and his goal kicking is great, but his choice of pass, timing and execution is not good enough. Nene could have had six tries with better service. Great atmosphere, the North Stand were immense. We need to get Gelling signed, another big middle and another quality second rower and a classy stand off to complete the squad. Very happy so far.

The one thing Reynolds doesn’t do is go missing. He doesn’t do a Brierley when in defence. No scoot from dummy half all match. Shall we blame the hooker?

reynolds is not a 6 in the memory of man good defence or not / brierley might concede you a try but score 3 himself go figure

No hooker to feed him (dummy half)..Go figure that. I won’t put the lad down until I see a decent 9.
