I want to wish the Lads all the best for what should be a cracking game. Can't watch it myself as am working but I no we will return the favour from the first round.

I am working in York at the moment with Dale Lawton so we have decided to nip off and try to0 catch a few minutes when we can. Not seen much of Sheff apart from the game at ours but we are on fire at the moment. I will take a narrow victory.

They were too good for us - we spilled a lot of ball but thought we did well in the second half but they always had more - just turned up the gas in the last few minutes. Misi needs a couple more games with us. Back with a bang next week please!

Nothing much else to add -beaten by a much better side.

Thought we were poor today,1st half especially,given that,they were a better team and easily the best in the division,On a good day we could probably have got a bonus,Think theyll take some stopping for the competition,dont need to be too downhearted bad day at office and a 4th or 5th spot is within our grasp,Think Misi could do with a spell at Spinkhill,Looked off the pace and was puffing a bit,Need some gametime,Halifax away and Hunslet,Rams at home,7 points from them and were looking good,Minor blip but lets rise again.

We weren't very good but you have to give credit to Leigh, easily the best side I've seen in this division, ever. So quick and so efficient around the ruck, excellent line speed, great passing, solid defence, they looked the business. Hopefully we can bounce back at Fax next Sunday.

If you haven't got the ball you can't score, and even when we did today we coughed it up. Leigh were excellent and I've no complaints about the result or ref. Leigh are a class side and i believe they will go on and win NL1.

Far too many mistakes from us and far too few from them.

Sunday's another day. Move on.

The ref wasn't brilliant but didn't think he had an awful game, missed Crookes blatant knock on 10 metres from our own line at the start of the second half which could of opened the floodgates I think..

Thought Misi had an off game, which was to be expected but will improve this week hopefully.

Just one of them days, Leigh were excellent, quick play the balls, excellent defence and good passing whilst we didn't seem to get out of 1st gear, slow, lots of knock ons and no really quick play from dummy half.

Was gutted seeing as there was nearly 1,800 at the Lane and we was on SKY but lets move on and try and grind out a win on Sunday!

Im gonna defend the ref, i had a good view of the second half (i was up on the gantry, was asked to see if we'd left some hospital radio headsets behind but we hadnt and i just stayed up there as i didnt want to miss half the game going back down the labyrinth) and i think he handled it well. There were times when frustrations could have boiled over (Rowe's high shot) but he kept the lid on it. Yes there were a few errors but theres little errors in every game, no bad calls lost us the game. Our inability to hold onto the ball and break their line cost us the game. Never mind, Halifax will feel our vengance
