Stop Drinkwater and Mortimer and we've got enough to compete. Going to be interesting to see who's fit and who's not.

If you do that you will be in with a shout for the points.

Leigh's 6 and 7 may not be Thurston and Cronk but they are classy SL half backs and are currently going great guns for Leigh. Any team that has both half backs absolutely firing as they do will always take some stopping. Mortimer has been a revelation since coming in a few weeks ago, him and Drinkwater are controlling everything behind the forwards, with Langi adding some strike on the edges.

I suppose Leigh will be equally wanting to nullify Lunt in the same respect , and let their 6 and 7 control the match.

It is a fascinating match in store.

I agree, if we can match their pack then the halves will have less time to play. They are an old team and if we can live with them for the first 20 then we have every chance. They'll look to blow us away and once that's out the way we just need to run around Cory 'flat track' and he'll wave you through.

Eh? By my reckoning only 3 of Leigh's starting 13 on Saturday ( and likely to be pretty much the same for this week) were aged over 30.

Micky Higham & Harrison Hanson for definite and I think Cory Paterson turned 30 the other week.

How many of Rovers starting line up last week were over 30

Maurice Blair, Lunt, Scruton, Kavanagh , and Carney may be?

Add Vea to your over 30 quota, take Carney off ours and you will not be far off.

However add your bench and Tickle alone adds 3 years to your average!

Patterson, Higham, Hansen, Brown, Vea, Maria, Tickle and Stewart were all 30 or over

Aside from that I'll take your point

Kavanagh not yet 30 either. He's 29.

Who do you guys think we will play at half back? To me Atkin on the bench is a wasted spot. He either starts or not in the 17 for me. However only way I see him playing is if Sheens drops Ellis which would be a big call at this stage.

Does Quinlan come back in at FB if fit?

Some interesting decisions to be made at 1, 6 and 7.
