Charlie and the Carolis have arrived back from London tonight,the game and result were very disappointing ,not unexpected though as I've been saying for ages somewhere this season we WILL get beaten,I thought London played very well and deserved the win , but Leigh were below par in a few areas,not many stand out players for us , but it's not the end of the world, bring on the Bull frogs next week,let's get back to playing powerful fast open rugby,we are still top and now need to beat all the teams including Bradford away to finish top,Cmon you Leythers it can still be done.


From a personal view the weekend was great ,went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,great seats,good meal in Planet Hollywood,shame Charlie Jnr was ill,very good Hotel, great weather,and only 35 minutes to London ,the same coming back to Manchester.Ladtly thank you everyone who had sent Mrs Caroli and myself their best wishes , Mrs Caroli deserves a medal for putting up with me for 30 years.I STILL LOVE YOU PAT.

I'm not disputing the cavalier approach..What I am saying is if that ball isn't sticking,then they need the call back to basics and respect the ball. Regardless of 27 wins,were up against X SL,If we want SL then it needs sorting.

Was actually agreeing with you. At times, for example when Ollie Wilkes coms on from the bench, he seems to exemplify that 'basic' approach.

We missed Fui yesterday on a tight pitch he sucks a few defenders in and makes spaces for the backs . Missed Jamie too hes been very good too last few weeks . Hock rarely misses tackles so these three were a huge loss but we move on and start the next unbeaten run come Sunday

We have weaknesses?!

I'll shove my four pen'orth in here.
That was the most committted I've seen London for a long long time, finally we looked like a team of 17 who were playing for each other. Good example is when Kay made a break and got chased down. Basically our two (Macani & Kear) pinned their ears back and never gave up. Trust me, if Kay had done that in any of the last 3 or 4 seasons against us our defenders would have given up by the 40m line and he'd have strolled it in under the posts.

Most noticable difference for me was line speed, particularly in the first half. Every PTB you had we were up quickly closing down your options. Every PTB we had your guys were slow off the mark and essetially gave us most of the 10m for free. On a short pitch like ours that gave us field position.

I still think you're the only side with a realistic chance of going up, and of cutting it if you do. Not least because you've got a great setup off the field at the LSV.

Thanks to all the Leythers who came down, lovely people and a brilliant atmosphere. Despite the result I hope you all had a great day.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

Great post pal, i hope you keep winning and make the top 4.

But only in selective matches, once you get there.

Thank you for your comments and just to say we had a brilliant weekend despite the loss, and thank you for your lovely hospitality, thoroughly enjoyed the banter and your lovely fans xxx
hope you make the play offs
