A team strong enough to win a game, a bench strong enough to change a game.

And when the dual reg, Manning, Campbell etc come into contention, who knows?

Looks about right to me.

I'd swap Ash and Toohey around, and if Mennell isn't fit, Campbell on the bench.

I'll go with GoldDog. Think KH likes to have Mennell up his sleeve on the bench and start with Tiger and Moore at halfback.

[distantdog]

I agree, Moore is important because of the quality of his kicking gamewhich compensates for his lack of direct impact compared to Mennell.

I think I would prefer Toohey on to begin with because he adds a bit more muscle than Lindsay, and Lindsay would be a very destructive runner against a tiring side!

Preece, Reittie, Williams, Maun, Brown, Moore, Mennell, Smith, Handforth, Martin, Bretherton, Walton, Lindsay. Subs: Martin, Toohey, Lythe, Tootill. Is it just me or does this side just pick itself at the minute? When Flanagan comes back, THAT'LL be interesting!

I reckon the Giants boys will have to fight their way into the side if Rhino takes the approach he did last season.

As a Leigh Supporter , im looking forward to next week ,i love visiting the Mount , probably my most fave away ground,ive said before your team could be the Dark Horses for this years Comp again ,and for the League ,i think it will be a very hard close game , hopefully a Leigh win , but im not confident , i suppose it will be colder than normal to , as we are used to our visits to the Mount in Summer , see ya all next week.
