Let's not over egg it. Leigh are not a good side and even with our injuries it's a game we should be winning. It's a potential banana skin granted, but our starting pack should dominate the game and we still have enough quality playmakers to score points. We need to turn up and do a professional job, if we do we should win by at least 2 tries.

I agree.

If we want to be serious contenders this season, we still need to be winning this game.

No reason why we shouldn’t, we were still too good for Castleford in the second half with a the same depleted side that will play Leigh. Plus we’ve had a few extra days off. We just need to win at Leigh, do a job and get the points. Leigh might be hopeful, but there’s a reason why they have no points so far and we can have no excuses.

That’s no disrespect to Leigh, they had little time or resources to prepare for their promotion to the Super League and it will be shame if they are relegated as a consequence.

Plus probably Bowden and possibly Sneyd, so that would be 10. Genuine "crisis" injury wise. Leigh's coach is justifiably very confident after their performance v Catalans too. That said if we sneak a win and Saints get past Warrington we go level on points with Warrington. .

Yeh sure looks like a crisis particularly when we only started with 25 real first team squad players including Shaul in the first place .

Should have saved yourself the time, energy and effort, since as per usual you have nothing positive, interesting or useful to offer, just your usual tripe

What time do we find out if any of our players are on the RFL Naughty Step?

Re: Leigh (away) : Mon Jun 14, 2021 3:15 pm  

Well we all know this could be a potential banana skin , when you take into account our injurys, you just hope Hodgson finds some balance with so many out, I know some think it's abit of a cliche but we really need our forwards to lay a platform for the halfbacks to play off the back of. Hopefully we can find some good ball control as we've made a lot of errors lately , making it very hard to complete sets.

Right then, no bans just one position to fill. Who gets the cursed centre position knowing that certain injury befalls all who play there? I'd go with FCs answer to Tommy Trbo and play Connor Wynne. Put Vulikijapani on the bench for when Wynne loses a leg in the act of scoring. Look, it says here he is a centre

Re: Leigh (away) : Tue Jun 15, 2021 12:46 pm  

Is Bowden fit? Not heard anything after he limped off on Thursday.

... Huddersfield and Wigan are the only 2 games being shown for some reason.

Leigh have allocated tickets for Hull FC supporters, I think that's probably why the game isn't been shown.

I watched their game v Catalan on our league.

James Bell was brilliant for them and most of their attack seems to run through him so hopefully we can get in his face and put him under pressure and get him throwing out some risky offloads like he did vs KR.
