I’d just echo the entire nights tribute. Seeing x80 former players come back for Rob shows what we as a club have forgotten. Listening to Buderus talking about his time here was also amazing to hear and is the level we need to get back to. Well worth a listen. The respect and love shown by everyone in the ground was incredibly moving, reduced me to tears on multiple occasions and the Geoff Burrow interview- wow, I was in floods.
Team wise - we were levels above where we found ourselves at Hull. A coherent game plan and the obvious defensive efforts we getting back to where we need to be. Plenty of positives to build off from and hopefully a quick appointment of a head coach can at least see us reach the playoffs.
Still missing a general to guide the team, why we didn’t kick the ball dead towards the end of the game to run down the clock instead poor speculators is a mystery and we got battered around the ruck on far too many occasions but as said previously it’s very much a game to build on, let’s hope we do.
BELIEVE. BELIEF. BEYOND.
IT AIN'T WHERE YOUR FROM, ITS WHERE YOUR AT.

That performance was exactly why I don't actually think the new coach has to change that much. Just attack and defend with more intensity and it solves a lot of our issues

We all don’t have to agree on everything, do we?
I didn’t see him at academy level, so wasn’t one of the ones bigging him up. I just like what I see. He’s got talent. A proper 9, but as you rightly question, not sure about attitude, state of mind, personal circumstances etc.
PS it was great to see loads of former players sat together at the back of the Carnegie. Sutty, Singo, Jimmy Kheinhorst etc

Last night, T 34 carries 15 130 meters
Stats tell a story to a point. Mik was visibly frustrated against Hull, hence the errors. Massively less so last night, hence the performance. Superb performance against a Leigh side massively better than Hull. I see what's in front of me.

but everything had changed. that much is obvious to those who choose to see it
I still think its is was more to do with the occasion. No Walker isn't going to throw Smith under the bus but also if he says he changed nothing then who are we to to say he hasnt.Lets see if they respond the same If Walker is in charge of the next game.

Watched it all last night, fantastic tribute , well done to all involved.
My son sent me a text at HT to say Croft was playing like a man possessed, fantastic to channel the emotion into that display.
Leigh will be a real handful for the rest of the year, with Amone , Edwin and the new guy Pene they have real forward running power and as a team moved the ball well.
Croft’s cover defence and our scrambling just kept them out a few times.
We have found a leader , Croft put his hand up and in some style.
