The problem for Leigh that day was our master tactician (Murph) was in the coaches dugout and, Cas's tactician loose forward (Reilly) was on the pitch!
Reilly knew John Woods was the big danger so he put GB centre John Joyner to stand off to mark woody. It poured down all the match and the Ref, our old friend Billy Thompson, was soaked through. At every scrum Joyner had encroached(behind soaked Billy's back) offside until he was almost level with woody which meant Woody had no room to move as soon he got the ball! Reilly's up and unders and general field kicking were masterful, considering he was in the veteran stage of his career and, virtually playing on one leg! he delivered an abject lesson in leadership,
unfortunately!
