| Didn't think it could gt this bad, especially after last week. Can't be bothered looking back to who said Addy was crap but he probably made the best two clean breaks of the game. Was anybody backing up, no, and this is where we miss a good full back, for all Clares good work he's no Mullaney/Withers, perhaps Moss might be the answer, hope so. as everyone alludes, Rohan your job starts now!!

| You have no idea how much effort I'm putting in to avoiding describing the actual role of a WWE referee.

Oh I know all about it. It's largely about the communication between the wrestlers, passing messages back and forth and from his earpiece. But the point remains about the oblivious nature of them to rule breaking or shenanigans. The difference being that theirs is deliberate, whereas Mr. Turley just seemed useless.

| Not coming on to troll.. Just can't believe how much hate addy gets from some Bulls fans! Every time I watch him in impressed the only 2 players with half a chance of getting in our team are himself and obrian both quality young players! People like mathers and Thomas should be the ones getting the flak! Totally void of any attacking skill. You have got the pack there you just need a good 7 to put along side addy and you will be fine!

Addy gets a lot of stick because things are expected of him that he’s not able to deliver. He’s become the fall guy a bit like Paul Sykes who was asked to fill in where he wasn’t suited. It’s not his fault as much as those whose failings have led to him having to do that job.
/>
That said the missed conversion was awful. I could’ve kicked that.
A thing that struck me was the lack of game awareness or “rugby brain” on display. When you’re lacking a playmaker it’s all the more important to give the stand in some more options and to make sure there’s loads of supporting runners and people giving options to the ball carrier. On the rare occasions we made half breaks yesterday there was no support. Players were all ball watching and not getting involved. It’s not been the first time that’s happened but we now seem unable to create anything outside of a dummy half scoot or a kick to the wing. When was the last try we scored by passing through hands?

Quote ="Greg Florimos Boots"Any neutral who watched that game will tell you how poor Leigh were in the majority of that game. They gifted Bradford so much possession in the 1st half they should have been out of sight. It was a luxury that they probably could not have afforded against any of the teams in the top 5 but as we saw late in the game Leigh had plenty in the tank when needed and to win a game when playing like that is probably the sign of a good team.'" />
Actually, the 'Bash' wasn't the game I was thinking about - it was the one at Odsal where we were 32-6 up with 15 minutes left, and hardly a Bulls' fan left in the ground. They scored 26 points in those last 15 minutes and, if the game had gone on another two minutes, they'd have won! We didn't have anything left in the tank that day.
/>
As for the sign of us being a 'good team', I still can't make up my mind on that one. Perhaps this season we are doing things differently - playing average throughout the season, and then stepping it up in the Qualifiers?!  www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_wink.gif" alt=" icon_wink.gif" title="Wink" />
