Few people saying Leigh were poor but for me it was our defence and fitness in 2nd half that told in the end.Addy smashed Mortimer for 50 minutes and took him out of the game.We won despite Marsh being anonymous and Ellis giving so many 7 tackle sets .Lunt Lawler Addy stood out but lots of hard work across the park.Great result and big step towards promotion

Like the way we killed the game with penalties at the end just a year to late in employing it

Just like the old days Len casy was a master at delaying tactics the times he gave away a penalty to save a try was just like today brill

The Leigh fans are saying we are a poor side but Lunt is class lawler could probably play for about 4 hrs non stop addy was excellent and I suppose the opposition wing and centre didn't like having to face Blair and carney Scruton and jewitt are solid Moss has to stay at full back if quinlan comes back in I'd put him in the halves

Our (Leigh) '5 drives then a kick' didn't work in the 1st half, so what do we do 2nd half.....same again !!!
Anyway, well done.

Pretty much the game plan we went with last week and nearly came unstuck

Fine margins.Lessons learnt at end of game on own goal line.When Moss coughed up ball after scrum that last play could very easily have been touched down and both sets of fans would have been feeling very differently now.No different to last year's game when they were 12-0 down at ours but won through out enthusing a supposedly superior side..very happy with result

I still think we won and still are nowhere near at our best. To go to Leigh with ZDC, Quinlan, Clark, Minns, Abdull and Donaldson (who when fit are a shoe in to be in the 17) out, shows how this win is all the more pleasing. I know Leigh had players out, but still have to beat what is still a pretty good Leigh team. Big wraps to Danny Addy, who would of got MOTM had it not been for Lunt's heroics.
Also think Lawler will be a very good Super League player. Rock solid in both defence and attack. Excellent player.

Lawler seems to be getting better.Plays a little like Bateman without the niggle

Bit of an understatement Ellis was terrible from his kicking to his hospital passes to killing any momentum we had the win was even more remarkable having him playing for us

It was a bit of an understatement but I was just been nice, probably because we had won.
Had we lost then it the post would have been littered with the mother of all criticisms, with most been aimed at Ellis.
As I have said earlier, I would give Atkins a start next week and see how much he progresses.

Didn't Ellis kick a superb one for the second try, and did the first try come from his 40-20?
