Official Match Thread - Leigh at Home : Wed May 02, 2012 9:17 pm  

Championship action, 3pm this Sunday @ Don Valley Stadium.

We had an exceptionally close game earlier in the season at DVS, us scoring four tries in the last 20 minutes to win by a point. It will be another tough game on Sunday, Leigh are riding the crest of a wave at the moment where as we're coming off the back of back-to-back defeats and need a bit of a pick-me-up.

Bearing all that in mind...

Eagles 23-22 Leigh

MoM: Taulapapa
Attendance: 1303

Oh and Leahy is the ref...

I'm a bit apprehensive about this one. We never seem to do that well at home to Leigh and given the respective recent records of the two clubs I'm going for Eagles 18 Leigh 26. MOM Andrew Henderson. Attendance 1085.

Could be a close call. Just hope that maybe Leigh players will be thinking about Leeds Rhinos but I suspect not.

No Tim's out for a while. Can confirm it isn't finger related though.

Well not his own anyway

The Greyhound is closed making it about as easy to get a beer by the ground as it is in Utah.

Sportsman Darnall Road is about the closest

I didn't think we played badly, just a bit of indiscipline towards the end and slack defence which has been our problem all season. We scored one more try than Leigh too. Just wasn't our day, at least we got a bonus point though, couple of bizarre results elsewhere in the league too!

Not a good idea to give away 2 kickable penalties when you are in the lead and only a few minutes left to play but a closely contested game. I think the lead changed hand 5 times (maybe more).
