I have now seen the Mellor incident and agree that a one match ban was correct. Tom Briscoe lucky not to be banned too for a similar incident.

It's a shame with Gale as he was tackled late which Hicks was keen to ping us for. It then sounds like Lannon placed his knee on Gale's neck resulting in the punches. I can understand why Gale reacted but not helpful for us.

I still do not believe Thompson should have seen red but at worst it should have been red card sufficient.

Sounded slightly concerning with Handley and I get the impression the starting half backs tomorrow will not be Lui and McLelland.

Mind you our players sticking up for Hurrell doesn't help us on the field if they are banned, but I remember when Dwyer got smacked and I was pretty shocked none of our players piled in

I have no issue with the Leeds players response, or the bans they’ve got. For me Mossop should’ve got more than 2 games though.

I’m not sure what our sides going to look like but we should out muscle Leigh and win fairly comfortably, even more so if Lui and McCelland are fit and able to play, having half backs always helps.

Re: RD 12 | Leigh Centurions (H) : Wed Jun 30, 2021 5:15 pm  

Having one halfback helps!

I can’t see both of them playing and haven’t got the foggiest how the team will line up TBH!

Maybe.

1.Broadbent
2. Tindall
3.T. Briscoe
4. L. Sutcliffe
5. L. Briscoe
6. Lui/Mclelland
7. Leeming
8. Oledski
9. Dwyer
10. Holroyd
11. Gannon
12. Martin
13. Prior

14. Donaldson
15. Edwards
16. O conner
17. Walters

Guess much will depend on whether Sutcliffe, Lui and McLelland all actually play.

Agar saying it’s down to 18 now which is interesting, he hopes both mclelland and Lui available but one definitely is, which I would guess it’s mclelland since he’s been training longer.

I agree very nicely put without getting a fine for bringing the game into disrepute.

That side should rip Leigh to shreds

This is going to be anything but easy if that's the half back partnership. Also I cringed when I heard about positive covid tests at Salford. Is anyone ruled out as a close contact yet?
