Great team effort, I don't buy into this depleted team nonsense from both sides; you can only beat the opponents on the field with what you have got on the field. I couldn't split Emmitt & Beswick for MOM but Jones-Bishop deserves a special mention for his assist at a crucial time.

I wasn't born and bred rugby league and I'm still learning,but i reckon i have come of age because i thought Dixon was MOM as well! It seemed to me he was first in every tackle! and you know your onions charlie!

Also agree about Ryan B,but then i would!

Watched the game in a pub over here,by the end ,half of the pub was cheering us on!

Thank you JC not everyone thinks as you do but that's life, I always say what my opinion is we could all pick our Leigh 17 players for a game and it would be different it's hard to leave out some of the old Faithfull guard at times but there is no room for sentiment in professional sport.I value everyone's opinions ,don't do yourself down agreeing with Charlie shows you have knowledge of the game,more than Salfordlad.

Congratulations- a well deserved victory.
I watched all 3 Sky games this week and I enjoyed your cup match the most. Great skill but most importantly , great character displayed by the Leigh players. Paul Rowley deserves enormous credit. I always admired him as a player but he's an even better coach.
Difficult to single out any one player but for me, Bob Beswick's organisation was the key.

Paul Rowley is brilliant. Everything about the fella is first class.

I could listen to him talk rugby all day long!

I'm still buzzing about yesterday's win. What a tremendous effort from them all. I agree with previous posters, Bob Beswick was fantastic yesterday and worked like a Trojan. I don't think we played our best by a long shot but the sheer determination of all the players is what impresses me the most.

I've said it before and I've said it again, Paul Rowley will one day be the England coach. I've no doubts about that whatsoever.

Being a Bulls supporter ... congrats to the Leigh team. Ignore the injuries excuse, the team played what was in front of them. Well done ....

I Skyplussed the match and just watched it back.

Doesn't matter now but does anyone agree with me that McNally's "no try" from the Liam Kay "knock on" was an absolutely incorrect decision from our old mate Mr Thaler.

It was clear as day that Fages deliberately stripped the ball. In fact it was a top piece of defending from him as he knew just making the tackle was not enough to stop the try.

Maybe the Bentham "I've got No Try" thing had a bearing on it, but I couldn't get over how quickly the video ref came to a decision. One replay and that was it. On any SL match I've seen on Sky video ref decisions take ages and dozens of replays.

As I say, doesn't matter now but it rankles a bit.

Loose carry for me. Correct decision. Dislodged in the act of tackling
