It was the tackle just before he got sin binned. Yes I too was a flaking arms missed tackle too. I think he's a work in progress. That's my humble opinion pal.
Two tries for Bentley and six goals for Richardson today at Leigh
Richardson got MoM.
Fages had an indifferent game at Hudds. Defence great but kicking patchy.
Fages still first choice and been great but another patchy game
and you feel Richardson will get a go.
Fages,coote and Lomax looks like a balanced spine , just none of them are a
goal kicker.
If Percival was an 80%+ kicker then richardson's case would not be as strong.
The oppo were crap , take Scott Moore out of that side and they're going down , Scott never let himself down = he only spent 10 minutes in the bin for an absolute shocker that Leigh scored off . However got to say regardless off the oppo Richardson was in and the creator of almost all of the points Leigh scored, he never missed a tackle and missed just one kick = the last conversion of the game . Bentley was superb his defense was head and shoulders above what was expected , he scored 2 with his first showing great footwork with his inners and outers he had a really good game . Smith only had about 30 minutes in the game did nothing wrong whatsoever, still cant understand why he was taken off , the Leigh fans love him. Douglas again did the business = bosses the middles and is a great asset to Leigh. Just to finish with Richardson was voted MOM which he was by more than a country mile, if Fages slips up it could take some doing to get past this lad , his game his ATTITUDE was spot on . I know it was only Rochdale , but you couldn't have asked any more from the lad , PS thier pitch looks far better than ours.

The big thing that Theo brings to the side that Richardson doesn’t apart from being a better defender is his willingness to take the ball right up to the defensive line and taking shots for his troubles. This creates gaps for us to exploit out wide.

Yes and his defence is way better than Richardson's
Richardson is not a bad option to come into the Saints team is he if needed ? Also he trains with you till every Thursday, so will be used to your 'way of playing/planned moves etc...' Although our last 2 games have been against weaker opposition, he's been excellent in each one....
There is an argument for having Fages or Richardson on the bench occasionally so they could spell Roby or Lomax.
It's a long hard season and we'll need the two of them fit for the business end of the season
I'm assuming we won't be able to use any of your players in this weeks challenge cup game at Sheffield, even your squad numbers 26-30 which I assume are young lads, who have yet to play for the 1st team.
Pity about Swift, as our left winger Stefan Marsh is about as quick as Apollo Perelini would be now !
