Not interested in the pointless arguments defending that sort of performance because there is simply no merit in them. That was a straight up, stone cold disgrace. Feels harder to take than much of the garbage they produced last season. Hang your heads in shame the lot of you. No excuse!!!

You cant defend that and the players should issue an apology to the fans that went. Simply no excuse.

Like I said on another post mate there is no point been frustrated now because its about time we accept we are a poor side and will lose alot more than we win and are destined for middle 8s unless a miracle happens.

Rick Stone has brought nothing which I can see so far but deserves time to turn it around.

Apart from Taai and Seb our recruitment over the last 3 seasons has been disgraceful and we are stuck with some players for a along time.

Agreed. To add, well done to Leigh for that score line. It's no easy task to do that however good or bad the opposition is.

I agree he needs to be given time and a chance to sort them out and am by no means calling fir his head but I cannot defend the indefensible tonight and frankly feel incredibly p****d off at how in the last two season watching the Giants has gone from a fantastic and exciting rollercoaster to an endless procession of lacklustre and uninspiring drudge. Genuinely difficult to put the frustration into words tonight!

No shame in losing to the side that finished 5 places above you in the league last season

I don''t think people are bothered about the loss so much as the complete lack of skill, ambition or pride in their performance, and to be honest we seem to be getting worse, I don't even want to think about Wigan.

As a Leigh fan, have to say you were very poor IMO.

That, Cas excepted, is probably the worst we have played so far. Have to say our defence seems to be very good and structured but we coughed up a lot of ball and possession and you looked very short of ideas

Good luck for the rest of the season, but it could be a long haul for you guys - and I reckon we will see you in the middle 8s

Re: Hang your heads : Sat Mar 11, 2017 12:25 am  

Correct- Leigh were indeed awful. Which shows just how bad we were.....

Re: Hang your heads : Sat Mar 11, 2017 12:30 am  

How do I put this without appearing condescending, gloating, any other adjective ?

The game, first half in particular was poor. First half was atrocious & to coin a well used phrase, a knockonathon, interspersed with a multitude of penalties, especially from Leigh & a little bit of grub in the tackle from Giants.

The first half had all the ingredients of a borefest & only better lines & aggression from Leigh 2nd half + slightly better handling & discipline carried us through.

30 - 0 was maybe a touch flattering to Leigh, yet in all honesty, Giants looked unlikely to score.

As I have mentioned elsewhere, you need a big response, some good wins or Stone could be gone.

Wire next for us, either they turn it on & we get butt-£UCK€D or RL breaks out & it's close.

Today's result could see our 1st 10,000 crowd on @ LSV, regardless of tge Sky cameras.

FWIW, I hope you turn it around.

Good luck.

What is the biggest disappointment for me was the lack of desire. We seemed happy enough to just have a go when we were camped on their line- compare to when Leigh "scored" their second try which he got no where near the line- because he put in the effort- and showed to be putting in the effort the ref awarded it. (Absolute joke) When we were chasing the kicks- they chased harder. That try in the second half from the grubber should never have been scored because that extra effort should have got us to the ball first.
They have us all that guff about how they don't want to be there again, jobs on the line, yadda, yadda. But yet the desire to go that extra to ensure it doesn't happen doesn't appear to be there to me.
