Alan,

I do sometime regret not purchasing one of your programmes due,in part,to the ill-feeling engendered by your club;you have always been very good on the forums and interact very well at all times.Thanks,and well done.





Other than to state the club has not had a stadium to call its own - nor had a council construct one - I believe the Amercans would say it is like comparing apples and pears.



The new stadium,in the city,despite all the other sporting attractions,will be filled to more than a third capacity.



These Qualifiers can act as a springboard to raise the profile of the club but it doesn't help when rugby league players are banned for drugs offences;Directors of Rugby are potty-mouthed on social media and allegations of 'conspiracies' are given publicity - not to mention foul play during games etc.



The club is only 31 years of age - if it still struggles for public appreciation after 120 years then it may be time to worry.



Our club,fortunately,seem pretty laid-back about it all.Like me,they may prefer quality to quantity.



Enjoy the game.The sport needs more supporters like you.

Cash incentive for Eagles in final push - www.thestar.co.uk/sport/other-sp ... -1-7443752 We've not done too bad at crushing Super League hopes at Leigh in the past, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR6aE-EDHsk), and a win on Sunday would arguably do so again. It'll be tough, we're underdogs for a reason, but our lads love a challenge just as much as they love proving the doubters wrong.

Hock must be on a Pay As You Play contract.Either that or the squad put together earlier isn't classed as good enough

Squads named as follows : -

Leigh Centurions Squad



McNally, Pownall, Dixon, Reynolds, Brierley, Emmitt, Higson, Worthington, Spencer, Wilkes, Ridyard, Goulden, Higham, Armstrong, Moimoi, Hock, Acton, Kay, Aspinwall





Sheffield Eagles Squad



Togagae, Turner, Yere, Smeaton, Worrincy, Brambani, Aston, Battye, Carlile, Stringer, Knowles, Straughier, Taulapapa, Walker, Petersen, Davies, Davey, Tonks, Scott

I'll start it off,then:



Barlow missing we'll leave to Featherstone fans to discuss.



Do they expect Higham to last 80 minutes or will they have Reynolds on the bench? They usually have all forwards on the bench.



Are they expecting their heavyweight forwards to march down the middle all game?



With the defensive efforts that Higham will be under,will he be able to scoot;bearing in mind he ain't no Roby - but we need still be alert and aware.



Will the Leigh squad change any by 3pm on Sunday?

Well I for one will be cheering you Eagles on, just to shut up the Smug Leigh fans, their Moronic leader Dazzling Degsy ,and of course the resident Clown Mr Caroli, all that Charlie knows bulls#tt,you will make my day cmon you Eagles.

Not many of us feeling smug at the moment Mr J.

SL teams struggled to stop Highams scoots..What makes you different. And yes I do think the forwards will walk through you..



Welcome back Mr Hock..

Mr James Child is the referee as the away side,massive underdogs,put in a pretty reasonable performance and win the game.



I might just enjoy this weekend - particularly if history repeats itself on Sunday.



Welcome back Mr Hock...

What! You can actually enjoy something..That'll be a first coming from you.

I'm expecting a very tough game tomorrow, but still a Leigh win, I'm going for a score of Leigh 36 v Seagulls 18 ,it's time we Leythers won a game and started to rise up the 8's Charlie knows.
