Lets talk about Leigh

Post by fords » 08 Jan 2017, 21:33

Discuss ........... not long to go now

Bookies giving us +12 start.

We all know they will come all guns blazing being in SL for the first time but if we have real ambitions of a top 4 finish then we should & have to win games like this.

If were as good as people are saying we are then i expect to win by 20pts being at home

I was literally just thinking about this game so thanks for the thread :lol:
I think 2 points should be the focus. Leigh as you say will come guns blazing and being the first proper run out for the lads, if they win by 1 point then I'll be very happy!

I just need to confirm it was suppose to be if we win by 1 not they. :oops:

How are Leigh likely to line up?

I only know of

1.
2. Clare
3. Crooks
4.
5.
6. Ridyard
7. Drink water
8. Hock
9. Higham
10. Tickle
11. Paterson
12. Hansen
13. Vea

I see them scoring first. I see us winning 30-18 or thereabouts.

They have a competitive team IMO.

I think they will run out of steam in the last 15-20 mins and we will end up with a comfortable win.

On paper, if everyone is fit the only Leigh player I think would get in our starting 17 is Harrison Hansen.
However, the game is played on grass and we'll get burnt if we underestimate anyone.

They'll come at us hard for the first 40-50 mins however I think our experience will see us comfortably win. We also can't drop games against 'easier' opposition this season, we need to be ruthless in order for a trophy to sit in our cabinet.

Would hope to see the final score close to 38-8.

Leigh will be up for this one but with a fully fit squad we should be able to do it, but this also could also turn out to be a banana skin, here is hoping sweet Caroline as been dusted off and is being played after the game, it should be a good gate of over 8-000 played on a Sunday and not televised 10-000 easy

I still think Glenn Stewart is a great player...he will be a calm pack leader among a few hot heads!
