It was done deliberate so the defence was better with Farrell. John Duffy said it adds to Nsemba’s learning curve or something similarJonathon Kerr (JK) wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 8:28 pm Interesting that Nsemba and Farrell have switched sides.
Farrell’s defence should help on the right and if Nsemba can get some early ball from Smith he will be unstoppable.
He was fine tonight.Blackpool_Pie wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 9:44 pmVery harsh. He's worked hard and done some really good stuff in defence and granted, made one mistake but he's been much improved tonight
You could see clear separation between hand and ball but I agree on another night it would have been given,Leigh are an odd one for sure that squad should be higher up the league than they are but something is soft with them need to be smarter to push on and become not contenders but a top 4 side consistentlymoto748 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 11:25 pmNeither did I. I've seen people saying, how come Leigh are so far down the table when they can play like that? But maybe over the season, they've let in too many soft tries like they did tonight; their defence was really appalling. And perhaps that's why they are where they are. It's no good showing a threat in attack in the last 15 if you're already so far behind. Have to say, though, until I see a replay, I couldn't see what was wrong with that Leigh disallowed try. But obviously, at the stadium, I didn't have the benefit of Sky's expert commentary!
I doubt I was the only one who thought Leigh might win tonight especially given Field was out. They have had some good results lately such as the Saints win. A 22-0 at half time would not have been a score I expected. So they must have been too inconsistent over the season to state the obvious.moto748 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 11:25 pmNeither did I.

The disallowed try was because as he lost it, it hit smiths hand then he got his hand back on the ball before touching down.It threw me at first until i noticed smiths hand underneath.Great defence and extra effort off smith.The lad would probably have scored without the showboatingmoto748 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 11:25 pmNeither did I.
