I know we've had our injury problems this season, but so have other teams. We aren't playing as good as last season. We don't have any quality in the depth of our squad. A good half back would have been following Pene last night waiting for his offload. It isn't rocket science how to play this game. Pene looks head and shoulders in quality above most of our squad. I thought he was outstanding, especially for a debut in such emotional circumstances. Like others have said, what is Ed Chamberlain doing in such an important position at standoff? He's a very good Championship player but not SL. Why Matt Davis at hooker with Ipape and Dwyer on the bench? Is Ipape still carrying an injury because he isn't the player he was last season? Did the emotional occasion get to Leigh cos it got to me prior to the game, especially when Rob's dad burst out crying saying , "I miss him so much." It was so sad. Rugby didn't matter after that. In a way, I was pleased for Robs family and fans that Leeds won. A loss would have spoiled the occasion.

I have to disagree completely. Rob Burrows sad passing did not mean one little bit that Leigh had to lose last night.

The celebration of his life was completely separate to the game of rugby league that followed. Leigh had every right to win and should have won.

I think we have 2 excellent halfbacks, but in today's game they have to stick to a game plan, unfortunately. How do you think Shaun Edwards scored most of his tries? Following a big forward who drew in the defenders and slipped a pass to Edwards. Let's hope Lammy slips that into our game plan cos they'll score a pan full. Something lacking at the moment with only 5 tries in 4 games.
And Chamberlain isn't a halfback. He's a Championship player with a good defence.

Having lost a son, I assure you that the result of a rugby game means bugger all.

It was a baffling team selection. Appreciate the plan was probably to have McNamara play at 6, but out of the 18 players in the squad, I can think of 4 options I'd pick ahead of Chamberlain at 6. McIntosh a 1 and Moylan at 6. McIntosh at 2 and Hanley at 6, or Dwyer or Ipape staight in at 6.

Then the switch to Davis at 9 (Did something happen to Ipape in the warm up?) was also a poor call. We had a scrum in their half and two poor balls off the floor completely killed the set, and the tone was set. It made us predictable, and sadly was compounded by the fact that Lam and to a lesser extent Moylan too often just shifted the ball sideways without engaging any defenders, often throwing Leutele and Charnley under the bus.

That starting 13 would be lucky to reach nil if they start against Wigan,
