Swinton Game : Thu Feb 19, 2009 2:30 pm  

How do you think you'll fare against Swinton?

They've made some good signings this season, surely Leigh would have been interested in signing Holroyd?

We should walk it really if we can get enough players on the field

Holoroyd? He is very experienced but I don't think we could cope with two slugs at halfback so I don't know where he'd fit into the squad.

Just hope we don't get 'Holroyded' again. Sick of losing to him

Holroyd is still injured, I believe.

Thank god for that, no disrespect of course. I also remember a certain Ian Watson masterminding a Swinton victory over us a few years ago.

Swinton were absolutely battered last week and, according to the local rag, are out to 'set the record straight' against you men?!

Still think you'll walk all over them though.

a win for leigh, simple really, like has been said that is assuming nk can get a 17 fit and ready to play, i am sure who ever pulls on the jumper will play with, loads of spirit, committment, and courage, abd do the shirt of leigh proud.

Curiously, Swinton don't have to play their postponed game, until after the group matches have finished. (it's the same with the Skolars) Now maybe they are not considered likely to qualify, in which case they probably won't be made to play the game at all, but that will leave them a damned sight fresher than Leigh, this Sunday. Whitehaven had not wanted to play at York, on Wednesday, as they couldn't get players off work, at short notice. Haven fielded a weakened tem - hence the battering, and Haven's chances of qualifying are now at serious risk.

This happened with Celtic Crusaders last season, as their postponed group game was deemed to be meaningless. (they had already qualified) However, in a competition, should all teams not be treated the same? Not that I would ever wish an injury on anyone, but teams who are told not to play, will not get players injured. Teams who do play, will. Fact, but also unfair!!
