Looks like Lui will play looking at Konis Instagram

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.

Agreed re: his defence. I feel like a full back 10 years ago would be peppered with high balls and found out if not up to it. Fortunately, the quality of attacking kicks nowadays is less effective and players such as Eden and Dixon can get away with not being great under the high ball more so.

Another thing Myler lacks (and I'm not having a go at him as he has been good for us), is pace. Having someone with the afterburners out the back is really useful.

In the old days we had several players who were a chance at long-range scores from the back if they made a break, the current side really lacks that (think Johnstone running through us like a knife through butter in recent years...).

Handley's reasonable but pretty much the entire back line otherwise is centre pace at best, with our half backs and current FB slower still. That's one reason I'd quite like Tindall to come through because he is rapid and evasive.

Is there anyone who wants to go tonight who wasnt allocated a ticket? Please DM me if so.

Another weird but not wonderful line up, be very happy to jag any kind of win.

...this is Leigh we’re talking about.

Re: RD 12 | Leigh Centurions (H) : Thu Jul 01, 2021 7:32 pm  

Slow start but just kept at it and did what we needed to n that half.

Holroyd is going to be a star IMO

True, they’ve shot themselves in the foot with a sin bin and regular penalties given away. If they can get down our end they may still have a shout. Some of ours look tired. Our ball movement is so much better of late even tonight with no Gale and mYler.

Great to see Holroyd and Mik starting together at prop. At their age they are still too hard to handle for most opposition.

Another couple of tries for Jack.

People are over-estimating our disruption; the side we have out is still pretty strong albeit out of position in places.

Hopefully get to 50-55 mins then let prior and Mik sit the rest out.
