It should be a good game, Leigh will rightly be favourites given their league position but we've been in decent form of late and gaining confidence.

I reckon Leigh will throw more at us going forward than Warrington did so we can't afford to give up as much ball as we did in the first 40 last week.

6 To 10 points either way .

Could go two ways for me; a decisive home win, or a squeaky bum Hull win. If Leigh get a roll on, Lam will be very dangerous, he is quick and very elusive, so I hope the pack can win the middle, in which case, we can sneak this one, but not by much.

Re: On To Leigh : Fri Jun 09, 2023 10:45 am  

I wouldn’t be surprised if Houghton is rested tonight with it being the 2nd game in 5 days, also Laney got a knock so I’d leave him out too.
Hoy
Macintosh
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Swift
Trueman
Clifford
Sao
Dwyer
Fash
Griffin
Dre
Cator
Subs
Tag
Brown
Scott
Lovudua purely to cover Cator and Dwyer. Scott can cover backs and 2nd row if either get a knock

The hooker very dangerous he was the difference in first game against us

Good start and a tight middle needed .

Re: On To Leigh : Fri Jun 09, 2023 12:02 pm  

The way Leigh play, it could benefit us not having Satae playing as he will have been targeted with back to back tackles around the ruck, which he cannot really do. We now have middles with a bit more dynamism and mobility to hopefully counter what Ipape does
