Really looking forward to this one, its not often you can watch live SL on a Tuesday night. I'm hoping that Moylan plays as you want the best players playing to make it a better game. Even a Wigan win wouldn't be the worst for us now that we are scraping around in the 4th-6th positions

NB I haven't been missing because we have been losing, I've only just come back from holiday.

PS Zig- I sent you a PM but its showing in my outbox for some reason still? Can you please check

Field not playing, four forwards on the bench again, would rather Farrimond had got a spot to change things up if necessary, looks like Farrell will be spelling Leeming

Really don't like four forwards on the bench. And even the 18th man a forward, when it's usually a back!

Leigh have the edge here I think - cant see our attack matching up to theirs. But I still hope to see us make it tough for them by keeping it solid with a low error and penalty count. We need to start building discipline into our performances over the last couple of months in the same way we did last year - hopefully French and Field can add the sparkle at the back end.

Did not expect 22-0 half time lead!!

Definitely not - back to form in that first half. Moylan clearly isn't fit.

Why anybody expected Leigh to beat us tonight was beyond me. We have a bigger squad to choose from with superior players so the short turnaround was heavily in our favour.

I keep seeing people saying the fixture list means we wont finish top but we have the best squad in the league and I think we will finish top comfortably but in a 1 off game in the playoffs/Grand final I am less confident and wouldn't be shocked if we didn't go back to back

Re: Leigh (h) pt 2 : Tue Aug 06, 2024 9:34 pm  

I think our forwards showed up really well for the most part. They laid the platform for us. Leeming had a great game and deserved MOTM but everyone worked hard.

Happy with the 2 points as you felt Leigh were in good form heading into tonight's game but they didn't quite produce, especially first half.

Top of the league again for now. It'll be interesting to see how we pull up from that game and the squad selection for Leeds on Saturday.

Got to be satisfied with the win, scoreline and, for the most part, the performance.
Leeming had a commanding and well paced game, so we saw a bit more quality from Smith.
