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?

Journalists have said that there isn’t any issues for Leeds with this.

That side should rip Leigh to shreds

If our middle men aren't too fatigued that side is still pretty strong on paper. Holroyd coming back could be a huge boost if he can stay fit; I'll say it again but he has the potential to be even better than Mik IMO. First game back after a long lay-off from a fracture and he averaged 12m per carry against Salford?

Those two boys should be our book ends for a long time to come.

It'll be one of those where we'll need to dig deep and be professional in the first 20-30 mins to establish some control so that the rest of the game will become easier. We'll need good performances from the young lads like Agar said.

The two concerns are what half backs we go with and that Myler links in really well in our attack line and is a good support player for any breaks or half breaks, without him our backs have looked far less effective. Hopefully, his absence doesn't stifle our attack.

Have to agree. Myler has been excellent linking in at full back and makes us a much better attacking team in my opinion.

Sounds like he could be out a couple of weeks. We just cant get a settled team at all.

Myler has turned into one of the best Full Backs in SL (IMO) he adds so much to the attacking structure - similar to what Webb did (I'm not saying he's as good before anyone suggests that).

This game has got Banana skin written all over it but bar the Hull KR game we have been competitive in all the games even with a depleted team I'm hoping we have enough to get over them as I don't think we'll get anything from the games against Warrington or Catalan to be honest.

Absolutely agree with this and would personally say he’s an outsider for the World Cup on current form.

I’m looking forward to tonight and seeing how we go. Looking at it, we have three tough games after this one in Warrington, Catalans H and Catalans A. The club reckon Myler could shave off two weeks due to having no break, it’s just the infection, so he could be back for second Catalans

I think King is turning into a really shrewd signing IMO. He runs hard and is strong in defense, hes cut out the silly errors from the start of the season too which helps!

Re: RD 12 | Leigh Centurions (H) : Thu Jul 01, 2021 2:25 pm  

I like King, think he's worth at least another year. May be a bit naive at times, but makes way more impact than Peteru, who is the equivalent signing.

Is there any way to watch the game tonight? I see it's not on sky

Re: RD 12 | Leigh Centurions (H) : Thu Jul 01, 2021 2:38 pm  

If we can retain King on decent money it's worth a shout. He has a good physical presence about him and is pretty mobile.

I'm pretty confident about Leigh if Agar can find the right plan. I'm also confident we can give Warrington a game too, would expect some more troops back for that one and most will have had a decent rest.

Re Myler, again agree he's gone well at FB. Had his best games there for us rather than in the halves. The problem I think we'll find is that better sides, and bigger games, will expose his defence at the back. While we have a pretty dominant pack he's not put under too much pressure, but I still feel we need someone else there (Walker or AN Other) if we're going to get into legacy building again.

Re: RD 12 | Leigh Centurions (H) : Thu Jul 01, 2021 3:11 pm  

I wouldn't expect Walker to be able to string 2 games together. Biscuit ankles. Amazing talent, but like Stevie Ward, their bodies just won't let them do what's required.
