Team for Leigh : Fri Jun 04, 2021 11:44 am  

Pretty much our one to 17 only ashurst unavailable due to ban, suspect batchelor will start abs green to the bench , only question is wether Tom Johnson gets a run out which I understand will be decided after the captains run today or tomorrow

Leigh have a few out but fairly strong if somewhat aged

Not sure why they haven’t been firing on all cylinders. I think they are capable of giving us a decent game, but shouldn’t be beating us.

Well you bit my head off for mentioning it but we now have the very dilemma.

Who makes way for Tom because if selected one has to go. Harsh on either but Kershaw has to be the more obvious.

It’s brutal but a good brutal as far as the team is concerned.

I’d give Tom another week normally but if he realistically wants an England spot he needs games ASAP

They have the same chance of beating us as they do most teams, they nearly did Wigan!

We will have to play at least as well as we did to beat HKR.

Won’t be easy but the players will have let themselves down if they fail.

Pretty much what we said, but think we will be feeling confident

If he’s fully fit play him vs Leigh. It doesn’t mean one of Kershaw or Kay won’t get another shot (5 day turnaround for next game may be too soon for TJ to back up).

Personally Kay has been excellent on the left wing so TJ will have to play well if he does get a shot. Kay has been better on the left than he has on the right but Tupou is on fire lately creating chances a plenty.

I’d be happy for any combination of TJ, Kay, Kershaw. Highly positive the way they have been playing. More of the same.

If Johnstone is fit, he has to play and on the left wing.
A really tough call on Kay and Kershaw, both of whom have been playing exceptionally well.
Kay is more experienced but, Kershaw has done better on the RHS than Kay was doing there.

Over to you, Mr Chester.

Got to play TJ on the left, it’s his best side and I think we owe him the best shot possible at England honours.
