On a crusade to return Leigh Centurions to their traditional colours of Cherry & White.

Well he certainly has an impressive side step but whilst I think it in itself is quite good to watch,when it happens, I think Ridyard is ok.
We,ve seen him now against 2 Nonrelegation League stand offs and he hasn,t let us down. I thought he did well against Oldham too.
My view is we should put our faith in him. The more talented Leythers we have in our side the better in the long term.

I would have like to see a steward take my little boys flask of hot vimto off him. He would have chewed their ankles to shreds.
I'd say Durbin at scrum half and Ridyard at standoff.
why would they stop you taking a flask into the ground, and the point wheeled centurion, is you knew the price of the ticket, so you should of moaned to the club, not bought one, then left at ht and moan on this mb, makes no sense to me, ok forget the ainscough idea, just a name i thought i'd chuck in, for what its worth i'd give young ridyard a go also.

You saw how profitable kicks in Mathers direction were yet you never bombed him. You should have. Likwise when Pryce came on he was a perfect target oddly for bombs (he has had a nightmare with them v Hudds and Wire) and grubbers.
Ultimately though you desparately need a left sided playmaker.
I am only guessing but Ridyard I think prefers the right side BUT has to try to play left because Watson is so right sided.
I think when Marsh is on the field he will attack mainly down the left.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. I'm Ron Burgundy, you stay classy San Diego.
What worried me was this predominance to go right repeatedly replicates how Leigh went through their moves in training. I was asked to confirm the opinion of somebody who watched them training in the week beforehand and I was staggered by how it came to reality.
You can see why old heads like Harris and Webster do so well at this level.
Defensively, I felt your compressed defence was very good and great v Wigan. I felt you compressed too much on your line when you have to spread more and it was that compression that led to the first try. Had you played Warrington who really push the ball wide it would have created more problems.
Armistead seems likes he's a genuine player and the way I look at it, if he could offload in tackles so much v Wigan he should be awesome v NL opposition. Taylor looked very good too. That bit better than the rest IMO.
I would snatch Wigan's hands off and get long season loans for Liam Farrel (left sided second rower) and Lee Mossop (I would play Mossop as a prop and maybe Taylor too). A real punt would be Joe Mellor, a young left side halfback. Resembles Sam Tomkins in a many aspects of his play. Has a kicking game too. Mellor paired with a right sided playmaker would give you the full field to play with. See how Ridyard goes when given the right side to playmake. I see Leigh as a rugby playing team rather than crash,bang wallop outfit that say Widnes and Fax will be.
