Good player, but I think he should be dropped, made too many errors against Salford and could have potentially cost us the game!

Eh?

He might need a rest, like most of 'em (lol) but Barlow, most weeks, has been outstanding. His defensive play yesterday was as good as I've seen from him.

Salford's first try was an error from him trying an offload in his own 20m. Think the forwards need to smarten up a bit and take the ball forward in our own half..... I'd drop him for the next game, too many errors / penalties which can cost you.

Are you for real? We pride ourselves on keeping the ball alive and Sam always keeps the ball carrying arm free! As for being a penalty machine there is a few on this team that are!!

Sam Barlow should be in the team every time he's fit for me one of our best forward and will win us games not lose us games in my opinion. And had a good game yesterday as well again in my opinion.

He's perfect, sorry for even mentioning it..... may as well close this page now lol!

I agree - mods let's do it.

How dare I try and suggest improvements to Leighs performance hahahaha..... Leigh are perfect, and will win the Super League next year.

Is that better?

For me Andrew Dixon was MOM but Sam had a good game and gets through a lot of work , to drop him would be crazy he is superb in his off loads ,maybe they don't always Come off but when they do great to watch in Gareth Hock we now have 2 players who can off load like this ,Mooky go back k to Watching Wigan.

As expected, negative thread from the attention seeker.

When he concentrates on his rugby and not trying to be 'the man' on the field he is a good player who can add something different to any side as he did to us when he was at Fax. Congratulations on your win yesterday a great achievement not only for your club but also the Championship as a whole.

He'd be one of the 1st names on the team sheet for me.

Yeah hes a good player, should be more intelligent when running in his own 10 meter line!

Who says I'm a Wigan fan anyways lol!?!

Just an assumption remember Charlie knows

I know who you are Mr G.

Mr PC, do you agree that he shouldn't offload in his own 10 meter area? Or do you think, he should just throw balls out willy nilly at every given opportunity? Leigh were fortunate yesterday, against a fully fit Salford team I don't think they would have won.

Hopefully they can improve and play better in the next round!

I think nobody should through balls out willy nilly

look at our last 2 games against Sheffield and Salford for why this shouldn't happen,but to drop Sam would be crazy,the guy in a Star,as for Salford your theory is built on ifs and maybes ,Leigh DID win we are in the hat for next round.Charlie knows.

Starbug here

As many will know I have been a long term critic of Sam's disciplinary record , citing that if he didn't address it , then at some point it would cost us an important game , I am pleased to note that recently ( although I haven't seen all his games ) he seems to be controlling things much better , and yesterday he had a fine game

Yes as a team we still probably need to be a bit more selective when and where we take risky options , especially against quality opposition , if we are to achieve our ambitions

But it is highly entertaining , and as the SKY pundits alluded to , it IS what we do , and it's that makes us so dangerous , so as frustrating as it can be , we'll just have to sit/ stand and enjoy for the time being

Great init

I took a neutral to the game yesterday and he's also someone who's never watched rugby league. He said there wasn't much between the two sides considering Salford are SL. He also said Leigh seemed quicker.

Leigh are obviously coached to be daring and get it to the edges early. They are encouraged to express themselves. They can also go through the middle effectively as well which makes them a flexible and dangerous attacking side. Couple all that with team spirit an outstanding defence and a will to succeed makes them very special indeed.

Game management all round from Leigh was top notch yesterday, much better than at Sheffield last week. They even bombed a few tries and could have been well ahead.

Salford will know they came up against a special side yesterday.

Stop being so soft,he didn't agree with you ,whats wrong with that?

A class player who no doubt will be one of the first names on the team sheet.
A skilful tough forward who is as fit enough, comfortable and gifted at off loading in the tackle passing when running and getting up supporting play as he is at tackling and defending is as rare as hens teeth in Great Britain.
Rowley knows we have one of the best and thankfully the chances of him being dropped are nil.

Great player who gives us go forward and offers us steel in defence. No need to drop him.

Nobody has agreed with him yet.

I thought he had an excellent game, yesterday.

Knocked on and Salford scored. Then he dropped the ball when we were pressing. He needs to reduce his errors, and be smarter when offloading.

If he cuts this out he could be a world beater.

Trys to hard to offload and to do his trademark step, if he just gets the ball and runs, he's brilliant. I'd take the 13 shirt off him, and give him the number 8.
