  1. Could go anyway, all 3 are possible. A Saints loss may see Wellens creating a CV. Leigh having a full squad to pick from at last will mean a tough night for saints middles
  2. Also nice touch when the crowd gave London a huge round of applause when walking back after their score
  3. London gave effort and kept shape, Leigh did as little as possible to avoid injury but it looks like Amone will miss Saints after failing HIA when hitting his own man in the tackle. Asiata will benefit for the minutes and expect OBrien back at FB Moylan back at 6 and Hardaker to centre with Pene on the bench with Ipape back also.
  4. NRL release only according to his dad, who would be rather pd if a fast one is attempted
  5. If that’s how you read it then it wasn’t as I thought it. If they need to penalise and bin for 10 mins to get through then please do so but be consistent. My pet hate is 6 again on tackle 1
  6. The players will be following instruction, officials are FT to be able to enforce the rules in all situations. Often team A are good boys but team B get away with it and take the points. Stop Team B don’t force team A to follow suite
  7. Short 10 and slow rucks ruined the game. Awful to watch and will not encourage non season ticket holders to part with another £30 on Friday v London. Was like a 70’s throwback with the underdog illegally bringing the favourite down to their level
  8. Your opinion? I differ! A coach will look at an oppositions strengths and try to negate them by going outside the law ie lay down a bit longer, keep your hand in the ruck, turn the player after hold called, work a short 10, have a quick push as the tackled player is about to ptb, side by side at marker, confrontation at the tackle and these days throw your arms up etc. if any ref enforces the rules in the first 10 then we get the best game possible
  9. Feral kids are a problem in the NS at Leigh - and I would like to see the section as a 12+ standing area personally. Good parents keep their kids close, bad ones let them run wild at the bottom. Now onto the officials - they dictate the spectacle, good ones create a fast open game that fans enjoy even in defeat, too many bad ones create a slow, stop start arm wrestle that does not encourage fans to spend £30 to watch live. Grant created the latter but he is not alone and imo the group need reminding of these often and especially as the last words before entering play
  10. We’ve done something this season to hack off officials- evens itself up in the end I am told
  11. Hope the 100 or so Hudds fans enjoy the entertainment that starts at midday
  12. Many folk don’t understand that abuse and opinion are very different these days. We have some shocking inconsistencies at present but without refs we have no game, hopefully they can be educated and developed behind closed doors like any other business.In the mean time folk stepping over the line need to be brought before the courts
  13. Both have a good case and each is neither right or wrong
  14. Targeting weakness is a basic coaching action, asking a player to take someone out illegally stopped about 30 years ago
  15. Are contracts commencing Nov 2024 classes as 2024 or 2025 for the purpose of posting on correct thread
  16. Hull are offering Leigh fans an away season ticket for west of Pennines fixtures. I think that’s a great idea
  17. Done a job at Leigh, won’t knock him but we had to pay over the odds to get him and this will free up a lot of cash to replace with better centres
  18. It’s the two Yanks tipping in these days
  19. NRL media rate him higher than other FB's who came over and named French, Field and Dufty when making that statement. We lack pace and have just found a hell of a lot in a young man with the best in front of him. We will be announcing a strike back row and a centre next
  20. Had to allow Zak go to avoid competition
  21. Club Statement: David Armstrong | Knights (newcastleknights.com.au)
  22. It was much better when the Scottish bloke told which private school they had attended
