Poor standard of rugby.



Watson's positional kicking was great, but his tackling awful - he was targeted. Morrison, 3 bad mistakes in first ten minutes then scores a try after terrible Fev defence .Nanyn, our only attacking threat.



After two weeks off we can only play one-up rugby for first 60 mins - why? Thought Rowley was going to get us playing adventurous? Unfortunately, our ball skill levels are low - lower than I've seen for a long time.



At 24-24 we have five tackles to drive into the posts for a drop and then throw a stupid pass. Schoolboy error or what.



We wanted it more, but lack of brains, skill and firepower cost us a game that we could have nicked.

Fair Comment.

IMO you can`t highlight two occasions in which you named it as "shameless" by ourselves to concede penalties but then dismiss Fevs antics as being irrelevant.

fev were poor and should have been beaten end of..

Watson cant tackle and is a target all the time ...BUT there are plenty alongside him sticking your arm out doesnt constitute an attempted tackle!!!!! it looks and is awful...at 24 all we allow a player to release the ball while there are 3 players round him!!! put him on the floor for gods sake!!!Ian Mort a great great tryer but fullback am sorry but no his posistioning is absolutley shocking and thats week in week out..we have the best full back in the league bar none and insist on playing him everywhere bar that posistion!!!

And lastly.....we cant keep carrying hobson 20 mins max he played today after 10 mins at batley and so on and so on we were down a change today because of alstead and couldnt afford to carry anyone..



One last note was trying to get a devout footy fan to watch tonight his comment when seeing hobson "jesus you have to be fit to play this game" i rest my case....

his defence cost you 2 tries watch the replays



same old mick great at the barge over but shocking at times in defence

What he said. Close game where we effectively lost by the toss of the coin.



If anyone can identify who split my pint then I'll send the invoice their way

just going off the last 10 years, no offence.

some were laughing those that could see a points machine were not

I have done and disagree - Mick wasn't to blame for those on his own - he was trying to cover for other players poor positioning. Nevertheless, I agree his defence has never been his strong suit, but if he can score more than anyone on the pitch, why should that be an issue?



The first 60 minutes were appalling - as bad as the Good Friday game at our place, but as in that one, at least you showed some character. But Donlan at 6 is ridiculous and much though I rate my namesake, he had a poor game at FB last night. The galling thing for you leythers is that Rovers were also very poor.



And please - lay off the ref....he could have blown at every play the ball but at least he had enough common sense to TRY to keep the game moving. Only the knock-on decision against Watson I thought was baffling. Most of the others he got right (and in that particular instance, I thought he was just fed up with Watto's antics earlier).



Hard luck Leythers but keep the faith.

Don't come here with sensible and balanced view's like that Manx.As a fellow Widnes fan you should be posting 'wind up' material and rubbing Leigh fans' noses in the defeat complete with immature smiley faces.

I am ashamed

Agree completely.



Having criticised us signing Nanyn I thought he looked fitter than I expected, gave a good ball for Maden to go over in the corner, took his own try well barging over like we know he can, and helped us win a few short kickoffs, without which we'd have been dead and buried much earlier.



However, like Haven4ever I also thought he gifted Fev 2 tries down that side, looked a bit lazy in defence and slipped off some pretty ordinary but important tackles, and as we were on show for the whole RL world to see I wouldn't be surprised to see more teams targetting our right hand side now.



I really hope he comes good but I do still worry that we've signed another frustrating & inconsistent player that could lose us one game just as easily as winning us another. He seems certain to divide opinions amongst the fans, but I guess at least if people are arguing about Nanyn, Watto might get a bit more of a break.
