Won at a canter, 60 - 8

You have to ask the question , is this a viable competition , are enough clubs making the effort to put together good enough squads

Well done to the lads they can only play whats in front of them see were you are coming from Starbug though

Well done lads what was the team.

Great team effort from Leigh yesterday,thought the fullback Dollin was outstanding, can catch pigeons that lad.

this team is playing really attractive rugby which apparently starbuck does not appreciate

perhaps we should turn out our scholarsdhip lads to give other teams a chance. suprised an ex director doesnt like what they try to do "win matches". i would have thought congratulations may have helped

a little bit of praise goes a long way

I spent 2 seasons watching the reserves and academy , midweek matches at Cas,keighly,Bradford,Widnes and the like even missing 1 st team SL matches going up to Whitehaven and Bradford



I very much appreciate us having a good reserve side , it is the quality of the opposition I see as the problem



Beating cannon fodder does not help you develop players good enough to step into the 1 st team



HTH

The lads can only play whats put in front of them, describing them as only being able to beat cannon fodder is disgraceful to both Leigh reserves and the opposition in general. Lets face it the confidence in the reserve team is far higher than of those in the 1st team and they have thew "winning mentality" at least try a couple of them in the 1st team, nothing ventured , nothing gained in my opinion, and besides they couldn't do any worse than the current 1st team crop could they??
