Like I’ve got a crystal ball

Leeds by 12 for me, home advantage, stinging from last week and we can’t string an 80 minute performance together. Worrying that we have no cover for Armstrong on the bench who gets a knock every week. Not expecting to win this one but hope for a really entertaining game.

Well, poor performance again but ground out the win, our discipline still lets us down and invites teams onto us. Week after week I keep saying it but we are still winning so I can’t complain too much. Either this is us at our best, grinding out close wins or we will click at some point and look like a dominant team. Either way we have had 3 consistent years in SL and are looking more and more like an asset to SL rather than a plucky underdog. Oh and Derek is an idiot, there’ a time and a place for celebrating with the paying fans but on Sky TV behind a top coach is not one of them and is asking for criticism.

He did an interview after the Saints game you’ll need to watch it, I think there are a few press articles about it doing rounds now. Rowley blaming Stones attitude for refusing to play and ironically said there’s a right way of doing things and he won’t be training or playing for them again. How anyone can blame the players after the last 8 months is beyond me.

Rowleys comments about Stone are disgusting, the lad is on the other side of the world from his family and he’s thrust into this diabolical situation by years and years of wilfull neglect which I’m pretty certain Rowley knew all about, this is the third club he’s sent into money troubles. Rowley knows the club are living behind their means when he’s chucking big contracts at Macdonald, Marsters and Hill etc.

We look a much better attacking team when Liu plays a bit more of the Asiata first receiver role, he can do big minutes aswell. We lose all momentum though when Lam does his inevitable 3 player subs at the same time every week at 30mins. As soon as they come back on mid second half we get on the front foot again. Good game honestly thought we’d thrown it away again.

Spirited defeat for us today I think, Wakefield play expansive rugby and we struggle to defend edges, packs should be pretty even. Won in the halfbacks and centres for me.

Maybe he’s on board to assist in the transition to administration.

Season of inconsistency for Leigh, look good in patches but drop off badly with subs rotating, we still look 3/4 players light to me, a HB, a centre, Winger and back row, our bench is more like a stool.

Interesting to read the thoughts of an actual french person on this thread with an ear closer to the ground than most of us about the potential of RL in the country. For RL to work in France the French need to actually want RL to work. Let’s not forget they couldn’t be bothered to host a World Cup.

I wouldn’t be surprised if McNamara is offered another contract at Leigh as Lam seems to rate his utility value and he won’t be on a fortune, they also see young Will Brough as a halfback/centre and I think we would have seen a bit more of him this year but for injury. Brough has also been offered a longer contract.

Depends how we start for me, we always seem to play better when chasing the game, we can’t keep letting teams get 12/16 points ahead though. I’m yet to see a “2024” performance yet but we seem to be grinding out wins, hopefully as Lam says it will star to click soon, it was around this time last year we went on a 10+ game winning streak.

Payday again soon.

More chance of Kier Starmer “smashing the gangs” than a Leigh win unfortunately.

All three incorrect play the balls by Catalans and all three had Daryl Clarke at first marker pushing down on the back of the head. Coincidence or tactic?
