Only Ridyard that's theirs to lend. Woods is on loan from Wigan, Richardson on Dual Reg from Saints.

On an odd note, I notice Olly Russell from Huddersfield was supposed to be on loan at Leigh for the season, given a squad number, then didn't play. Now he's turning out on Dual Reg for Batley. Did Hudds recall him when Leigh took Richardson on, and it looked unlikely he was going to get much game time at the LSV?

Russell got recalled by Huddersfield when they were short of players, played in one game v Hull & kicked a couple of goals....and then shipped out to Batley.

Is it still ok to park over the road, at the sports centre, on match days, please?

Alan, I aren’t certain of this but I think I’ve heard you can’t any longer, certainly would work on principle you can’t and you might be pleasantly surprised. Plenty of street parking if you drive up Bradford Rd getting off m/way at Chain Bar

Pickersgill dropped. Ryan full back. Milnes back at half back.

Standard sh!thousery from Leigh.

Well. I shouldnt have been worried all along. We're a lot better than I think we are!

Re: Leigh (H) : Sun Mar 24, 2019 5:20 pm  

Well, I enjoyed that.

We made fewer errors than of late, and chased back and tackled with real determination and steel. The only time Leigh scored was with the help of the ref, who did find a string of highly dodgy calls against us, which can be mentioned seeing as we won.

I thought Kear did very well to shuffle the team around as he did, and by and large it left a solid unit, if lacking some penetration, but with the injuries that lack of a settled halfback pairing excuses that.

First half was a great contest and we did very well to get level at half time. Second half while we scored a cheeky poached Ethan try and a couple of length of the field breakaways, we forced those positions and those loose balls, and had the wit and ability to finish them off. Could've been even better but for the lucky ankletap on Foggy.

Also 4300+ crowd, all good.

Really, standard as in Leigh own the copyright ?

A good win for us. I wonder if the loss last week could actually be the spark that start our season proper.
Especially as we should be seeing players returning from injury over the next few weeks.
