I would have thought it obvious that I meant that those were the options, but a lesson learned. The prop options, as listed above, are in preference order and ideally deployed 3 at a time, 3 starters with 3 in rotation, with Clark and Walker alternating at 9 with Currie and Nicholson at 11/12. That is the pack that could get you in a decent contest.

I knew what you meant and fact you left Dudson out was good, when I saw this weeks line up I was surprised to see Crowther at 13 and not Nicholson seeing that it’s his preferred position.

Just been looking at the remaining fixtures for those around us and I honestly can’t see us finishing worse than 6th. Not took my medication yet but that’s what I think.

Wasn’t expecting Salford to be beating Saints though when I looked at the remaining fixtures.

Re: Remaining season : Sun Aug 06, 2023 6:52 pm  

Wire: A Leeds, A Hull, H Cas, A Salford, H Saints, A Giants

Hull: A Wigan, H Wire, H Leeds, A Cas, H Giants, A Saints

Giants: A Saints, H Salford, H Leeds, A Leigh, H HkR, A Hull, H Wire

HKR: A Saints, H Leigh, H Catalan, A Giants, H Salford, A Wakefield

So 5th and 6th up for grabs and I think it’s down to these 4. Looking at the fixtures I would say HKR have the toughest run in plus they have the cup final.

Immediate changes we could make to improve matters (in my view)

Ratch to fullback, Dufty dropped.

Dudson dropped and replaced by a chocolate teapot

Drinkwater dropped and replaced by a glass hammer

Matautia dropped. My gran (who's been dead since 1985) could do better

Currie to centre if required.

I've fixed your mistakes.
You can thank me later

If you leave ratchford in the team(in ANY position)then you've fixed nothing!

Certainly a revolutionary tactic having SEVEN players in the front row. With the traditional "pyramid" behind, that's already 28 players in your team before factoring in a scrum half et al.

Unless it were Saints or Wigan doing it, the Match Review Panel would surely notice.

And they'd advise that we should increase the 28 players to at least 34.

You will beat us (Leeds) next time out.

May I point out that you're not on the Leigh Leopards forum.

I think we may have a chance with Cas at home but other than that I cannot see where other wins are coming from.

Sun Aug 20 – Leeds (A)
Sat Aug 26 – Hull FC (A)
Sat Sep 2 – Castleford (H)
Sun Sep 10 – Salford (A)
Fri Sep 15 – St Helens (H)
Fri Sep 22 – Huddersfield (A)

I'm glad there's only six games left. I hope Chambers is brave with his team selections, as the opportunity to answer some questions with our squad as a whole, is more important than the results in my view.

Well 5th or 6th

Think Giants are out of it now.
