Sheffield Eagles must beware a Leigh backlash - http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/other-sp ... witterfeed A few surprises in the selection says Tubbs. My team would be.... 1. Quentin Laulu-Togagae 2. Scott Turner 3. Menzie Yere 4. Sam Smeaton 5. Rob Worrincy 6. Kyle Briggs 7. Cory Aston 8. Steve Thorpe 9. Keal Carlile 10. Mitch Stringer 11. Michael Knowles 12. Duane Straugheir 13. Misi Taulapapa 14. Dave Petersen 15. John Davies 16. Tony Tonks 17. Pat Walker Eddie Battye and Jamie Langley miss out from the 19 man squad. Battye was set to have a rest against Batley but Tonks failed his fitness test so he had to play. Would rather have him fresh for future matches. Would have had Langers at loose forward on any other day but Misi had his best game this season last Saturday so he gets the nod from me.

Whichever set of players can concentrate for 80 minutes and who can re-focus after each and every flare up for me.

Leigh scoring 3 tries in the 10 minutes they had a one player disadvantage,at Batley,is sufficient information that Leigh unsettle the opposition by the same tactic.

It will be as mentally challenging as physically challenging.

Gonna be good,though.

I also think we've got to remember that this game doesn't make or break our 2015. Still quite a few important games to be played leading up to the Super 8's.

Absolutely.

Just their unbroken home record to lose.

Oh,and not letting any side do the double over us.

You must be due a game plan change then!

“We were a little bit disappointed that they beat us at home because we had a real dig at them,” Aston recalls. “I’ve said to the players if we turn up there with the attitude we showed against Whitehaven then we will get beat by 50.”

Don't worry about your minnow opposition's game plan. You've got bigger fish to fry like the 2015 Challenge Cup Final along with world domination!

Betting Update
The Bookies have leigh as 1/7 favs and the eagles 5/1 to win the handicap is 16 Points (I am slightly surprised as i thought it might be around the 20 mark) I dont share the forum optimism Leigh need to win more than we do they should have a big crowd being the first home game for 5 weeks I would much rather win in the middle 8's than today

The rest of the days championship matches Bradford (32 point favs) and London (24 point favs) should win their matches,interesting match up at Dewsbury who are playing Halifax should be close a draw would be good there should be another close game at Whitehaven who are playing Batley

Re: Game 18 - Leigh Away : Sun Jun 21, 2015 4:22 pm  

just got back from the match without a doubt Sheffield turned out to be yet another dirty Yorkshire team ,I'm surprised because I thought they had more about them than that ,one bloke sent off early for deliberately kicking a Leigh player took McNally out two or three times before finally laying Him out completely, in which looked very serious for Gregg, the ex thug Senior spent more time on the field than some of the Sheffield players, what's Astons excuse going to be for this performance ,when McNally was receiving attention for a very long time Senior found time to laugh and joke with the player who had done the dirty deed, really I've always had time for your team and wished them well but after today all respect has gone and I hope you don't reach the top four

Re: Game 18 - Leigh Away : Sun Jun 21, 2015 4:27 pm  

Our game ended after 3minutes with astons sending off I hope for his sake that he still does not live at home i guess his dad would not be in the best of moods tonight !!! Sending Offs are so crucial in Rugby League you knew that we had no chance of winning I guess a 40 point beating is not too bad considering although our points difference cushion has now gone
