Leigh vs Sheffield : Sat Feb 08, 2020 3:40 pm  

Listening in and it’s 26-0 in 27 minutes.
Seems Sheffield are having a tough time stopping us from scoring. JD talked about getting our halves running and taking on the opposition more this season and it sounds like it’s happening. Woods and Reynolds working well again.

Well I’ll take 58-10 very happily.
I look forward to reading the views of those who were there.

That was impressive , we went off the boil for the the 10 minutes of the first half and the lSt 15 of the second , but our pack was immense today, my Man of the match was Grohl I thought he was everywhere, but good displays all round.
I had the pleasure of sitting next to Lewis Bieneks girlfriend , she said Lewis loves it here,I think he will be a good addition,Gerrard again was very good and Jorden Thompson had a good game.Well Done 1-17.

Forwards totally dominated with great line speed and gang tackling controlling the ruck. We then put on a second pack and carry on demoralizing them, on a warmer and less windy day we could have troubled 100

And once again, the defence was very impressive. Sheffield's tries, both came from short range kicks, one of which rebounded off the goal post into the player's hands. Difficult to legislate for that! That's two impressive points differences, we have amassed - something we have struggled with, these past two seasons.

I know Sheffield looked demoralised, and that leads to suggestions they are weak. Well, there was no way they were allowed to play - unlike last season, when they caused us all sorts of problems.

Thanks to the players and coaches, from one very happy Leyther!

Alan , last week Sheff were very unlucky not to beat Fax , they did look poor today , but we outplayed them all over the park, just goes to show you Fax could be in for a long season as well.Some teams could be in for a hiding when the warm weather arrives.I stand by my predictions of Toulouse , us and Fev as the top 3.We have a brutal pack at the moment .

Overall a good display from the Leythers someone needs to tell Farrell (12) that tackling around the head is not allowed in modern day RL, well done to the lads today,

One thing Ive not really seen mentioned but normally plays a part in blow out scores like this is that Leigh played their last game on Friday against a pretty average Dewsbury team having a comfortable win where as Sheffield had a last minute defeat in a very tough game 2 days later. Its understated how big an impact that has on part time players.

As for Fax having a long season, I will let our results dictate that rather than other teams results against teams we have played.

I thought you were going to tell us again we have an average pack.
