Leigh (H) : Mon Feb 22, 2016 1:15 pm  

Its been a very disjointed start for Leigh this year as expected with the recent upheaval.

London played superbly well for long periods but when we clicked they just couldn't cope and it was 18 points in 4 minutes. I have to say they look a lot better balanced than last year and i think London should do well this year if they keep that performance up.

Too many injuries so far for us and they are expected to be unavailable for our game against yourselves.

Ridyard, Paterson, Tonga, Armstrong, Kay, Beswick, Barlow, Spencer, McNally & Dixon all missed yesterday.

Looking forward to the trip to Odsal but I think it may be too early in the season for the exciting games of last year.

I'll translate: "I'm getting my excuses in early because we look a miles worse side with Rowley". We spanked you on your own turf without a recognised scrum half or stand off last year - my heart bleeds.

I guess we always look forward to games, I know I do, even though, just like last season there's nothing that much to bother about until the 8's.

WOW thanks for that, so much for a civilised response.

You may want to edit it though so it makes sense regarding Rowley.

I hope those kind of comments don't bite you?

You're supposed to save these kind of comments for AFTER we've played them, not before!
You're setting yourself up perfectly to be left with egg all over your face come 5pm on Sunday, don't say I didn't warn you.

I think Leigh went with the wrong halves against London. You had two "off the cuff" players in the halves and I think you needed a General out there. Ridyard injured?

Yes, Ridyard damaged his ribs in the Oldham game I think. Really hoping he is back for next week. Of all our injured players he is the one we will miss the most if he isn't playing.

Looking forward to a good game and a decent crowd.

Hope the weather stays fine.

We seem to have no injury worries apart from Pitts maybe.

Pitts is OK, "nothing serious", according to Jimmy on his after match interview from Widnes.

"It's just a flesh wound".

Now, where have I heard that before?
