That was as close to an 80 min performance as we,ll get , brutal defence,power plays,runs from dummy half,wingers getting plenty ball.A few injury concerns for next week but if we can manage the next couple of weeks of games coming thick and fast the play offs could be possible

This next 3 game turnaround is gunna be tough on the bodies - quite a few looked goosed at the end of last night, got the short straw with that Wigan game haven’t we

That put a smile on my face .Excellent performance from the Leopards against the bully boys down the road.

As good a performance as I’ve seen from
Leigh in my 30 odd years of watching. So much more attacking threat down the right with Hanley and McIntosh there. They’ll make mistakes as games go on, but they have pace and Hanley is actually willing to pass the ball.
Such a shame to see O’Brien have to miss another game (maybe more) with another head knock. He’s been getting better every week at 6. I just hope we can replace him with another playmaker, and not recall Hardaker.

How about Hardaker at Fullback and Moylan in the Halves?

If you want to cheer yourself up, I can heartily recommend joining the Red Vee. Did you know it was the referee's fault, not the 79 missed tackles that is the reason for Stains losing.

I’m not convinced that Hardaker will still be at the club. Especially with Sutcliffe limping off today, and the fact we’ve signed Hodgson. Interestingly, Brand played full back for the reserves today.

Even if he is still here, he can’t play full back while he seems to have the yips when it comes to passing the ball. My hope is that McNamara is available to play, given how well the Moylan, Lam, McNamara combination worked before his injury. Otherwise, I’d be considering Asiata at 6 before Hardaker at full back.

Grade E charge for Lomax, for the challenge the officials deemed to have a "low level of force", despite it knocking GoB out.
