No doubting their quality on the field at the moment, they have certainly proven their doubters wrong (me included) and good on them for doing so.

Leigh aren't the finished package off the field thats for sure, and is something I am sure is being addressed.

Dan Norman joins Leigh on loan.

If they had an academy/reserves they could have promoted a young kid

Think you have your Leigh blinkers on. Everyone agree it was BS that Leigh and Salford didn’t get Academy licences but you have to accept some responsibility for your squad management. You’ve gone top heavy which works early on but tough if injuries come.

Don’t you have about a 27 man squad without youth. That’s always going to be tough. I believe FC have a 34 man squad with the option of our youth if desperate.

How is it the RFL’s fault that you probably have the smaller squad in the league

I thought this thread was to discuss the actual game, or shall I voice my concern that the unemployment level in Hull currently stands at 5.9% when the national average is just 3.8%.

Was it they didn't get an academy licence or an elite license, I'm sure Bradford didn't get an elite licence and still run a academy and reserve.

Leigh also have a history of neglecting the academy in the past (im sure there was a year when they decided not to run one). So I think Leigh aren't as innocent as their fans make out. I suppose they get this season off but they have to run one next season, they have no excuses.

Still doesn't seem to be any official squad named by Leigh for tomorrow nights game, though reported than Dan Norman has come in early on loan.
So can only think that Leigh will likely have the same 17 minus Reynolds & Nesbit but with the inclusion of Norman for Nesbit and possibly Chamberlain for Reynolds.

Leigh done well so far this season and have rightly been complimented on their results and performances but not naming 21 mans squad or struggling to get a 21 man squad is something that they can be criticised on and rightly so.

We'll go shopping this afty and get about 40 0dd more players if it makes you feel better.
