Leigh Centurions • Re: Great Result
I went today VL and yes whilst far from pretty we ground out a great win.
I thought Woods had a good game at 7 and controlled the game splendidly. A superb pass to put Brierley through for his try and to be fair to young Ryan not many players would have scored that as he managed to beat a number of defenders to the line out wide. Another great pass from Woods led to Forsyths second out wide in the second half.
I thought we looked small and lacking size against a Sheffield pack containing Nathan Mason but Jordan Thompsons introduction give us a bit of added go forward and grunt.
Cory Paterson went well in only his third game since coming out of retirement. Cator was his usual industrious self, as were the Adamsons. Forsythe was a constant menace out wide. Costello stood up very well at FB after Ryan's injury , especially under a late and seemingly constant Sheffield bombardment, as well as him being lively in attack in the number 1 role.
However our ill discipline placed us under huge pressure in the second half and we need to wise up there. It could be argued the ref was lenient with Sheffield at times but I will not comment. Many others did.
Also Brierleys knee was heavily packed with ice after the game and he was still limping going to the coach. He told his Mam later that he heard something crack. Not looking good.
