Story of the season so far. Don't see what McConnell brings to the side. Surely Duffy can do more than 40 minutes at his age!!!! McConnell should be in reserve for emergencies only!!!

I agree get Stanton back on the wing I say!

A good win.
Comfortable from beggining to end and still going in the right direction after last years relegation.
Keep the home form ticking over nicely and pinch a few points away from home and we might be dark horses for a shot at the play-offs in this league.

Need to cut out the errors and the concentraction lapses but generally we look like we are playing (and trying) some decent stuff which is the first time for a while.

Fax will hit our Right centre as Haven did today, its just that they are better and will punish us.
Would like to see Higson/Blythe or Mitchell/Blythe as opposed to Blythe/Maden.
Cant see Stanton making the 17.

Put Blythe on wing and Higson Centre for me

First half completion according to Mr M - 10/18.
2nd half - 21/24

Haven only had ten sets of possession in the entire second half.

By the time Leigh had scored their third try of the second half on 57 minutes Leigh had gone 14/14 in completions and didn't make a handling error for 24 minutes. In comparison the only time Haven touched the ball was 2 sets in possession and 3 restarts.

That improvement will do for me and my guessing if those 2nd half stats can some how be replicated at the Shay we'd win there as well. As it is I feel we need about a 60% share of possession to win next week, but I suppose we'll see.

The first 20 minutes today was poor, the second 20 experimental and not taking chances when they were created, missing out on 3 I can think of, the second half we steamrollered them.

Well I too thought Basil was experimenting in the second half and you can do that against a poor side.

Yeh we are currently third but our last two games have been against'I think' the 2 relegation favourites.Our backline speed is a worry as we may find out next Sunday.

this year haven are going to struggle in the half back positions, no one's creating a thing on attack, and some of the forwards are getting on now, and were really finding it hard getting back from kicks.

methinks ged should give some of his younger signings from the cumberland league their chance

Nicky was warming up just before the game with the lads so I thought he was playing, was he on the bench?

Maden played well again and deserves his place.

I'd have Stanton on the wing every time over Maden [size=85except against Barrow[/size. How many try's would he of racked up by now if playing

ALOT

Would he? And conceded how many? Millward knows best!

How quickly expectations change.
Last year we could win a game, yesterday we score 44 points and people are still moaning.
How many of you have changed your expectations for the season based on the NRC performance and the first 3 league games

What a stupid statement, the only way Stanton will score tries more than Maden is by creating an overlap/ feed. If that happens A LOT, then I'm not watching the same game as you. For all the people critisizing him Maden doesn't do a lot wrong (apart from that try yesterday, the pr1ck



).

Stanton still has a lot to prove for me, his size goes against him unfortunately.

we were very poor yesterday , but we did have a very weakend team out, i know you can only play whats in front of you and thats what you did fair play to you you won and won well

i would hope and pray that back in after injury and illness this week would be
leroy joe, gorski, govin, spencer miller, and kyle amor dual, if that team had been out yesterday i think it would have been closer, not saying we would have won, just too many young squad players and then loosing calvert after 3 mins didn't help the cause reducing us to a 3 man bench. people have said were favs for the drop, i would think our home form will see us stay, and keys games against the likes of des and batley will decide our fate

Hope you do stay up matey have always been top games between Leigh and Haven, good luck for the rest of the season.

thanks yes must agree since about 2000 some of the best games i have seen have been leigh v haven, they challange cup at HP sticks out with us leading by 10 with 3 mins to go and the rest is history

You may have had a weak team out there today ,but you are still very poor, i dont want Haven to go down ,i just think they WILL, sorry Haven fans , just what i think, no takers yet on my Bet offer.

Hill and Jackson are long bans waiting to happen now they are in their 40's
Hope Calvert is not serious, hammy?
You certainly lacked direction in the halves but the age of your pack must be a worry. Having said that home form should keep you safe - good luck for the season

i hope whitehaven sort themselvse out.
this division needs a strong whitehaven.

Propping all the other teams up :

thats not quite what i ment

I wouldnt count too much on Govin he's not a bad player but too one sided and good coaches can/will/and have done counteracted his threat.

Fred i think Gov tends to drift in and out of games , not good enough, thats why Fax let him go, think he will Struggle up at Haven ,even in a poor team.

Cmon Frankie do you think Oldham are worse than Haven?Not on that performance.
