sweaty craiq

Halton ONeill and Trout put in huge shifts, add Mulhern to that when he’s back. Halton has been brilliant for weeks

In todays game getting yards from your line and putting you on the front foot is vital. Charnley and Hodgson do that in bucket loads

at least 3000 will be heading over to Saints on Thursday - the seating has already sold out

Not watched the TV version but live the KR player interfered with the Leigh player in backplay and then again after the PTB, I thought the binning would be for the professional foul in back play - no idea what it was for btw but will watch later. KR are taking 'professionalism' too far - slowing the game down, head grips, pushing/hands on at ptb, constant offside etc to gain any advantage. Leigh needed a fluid game yesterday, and we got it.

KR played in a stadium that was very loud in supporting the home team.

Didn’t expect that, KR need a slow ptb and looked well beaten because they never got it

The heat will be a deterrent today for a few - cant blame them - ticket sales have virtually stopped since Wednesday. Will be over 9k in though

Let’s hope we have an official who stamps on slowing it down

Jeez this game has been awful. Saints back to what they do best, hold down, niggle and give away 6 agains on the first. Leeds couldn’t score in Platt Bridge

You can see why o Connor ain’t in Wanes plans

NW does as hes told now

How many clubs do “specials” for Cats games? Give away a few thousand and the gate gets bumped If you look at the Wigan game the away end is pretty well populated, all freebies

That is correct

Have a look again - some West B have come back on sale though

south stand is away stand, maybe the HKR hordes have been telling porkies. East tickets left in I/J/K less than 200. Rest of ground sold out

KR rumoured to have sold out away stand - great consistent fan support of away travel needs applauding - and Leigh, like Wigan game, have opened up all the East for home fans with a couple of hundred still available. This surprises me as Oasis are on in Manchester and I know many who are going there btw. Should be a great atmosphere again and hopefully a fast game and ptb infringements penalised heavily. My pet hate is clubs being allowed to slow games down by constant ptb infringements that go unpunished. I have heard a rumour that the officials have been asked to keep an eye on KR's wide defence who have been offside all season, last time we played them I thought the pre season rumour that May was heading to Leigh had happened.

Probably not, but the hunt could have been fun

Leeds should have had about 40 penalties after the KR defender controlled the ruck by gripping the neck area

I was recently told by a Doctor who conducts those tests at games that they give you a few words to remember then repeat later during the test procedures - maybe Lewis was asked some words of more than 1 syllable ?

Will be a sell out at LSV next saturday also, KR have already sold the away stand apparently and Leigh have 60-70 available but have held back about 800 which will have to be released Monday

KR don’t like a fast game, when there is equal pace at the ruck they can’t smother you and wear you down. Missing Lewis takes away that uncertainty when defending them also. If KR lose next week and go to Wigan and lose it could get interesting

KR looking very ordinary when a ref shows some danglies

Why do refs not take KR back and allow so much slowing down at ptb?

As we collect injuries in the next phase of the season we will not have the depth to reach a GF but that simply does not matter, to see my club competing consistently has not happened for 40+ years and is a time to savour and enjoy. The town is buzzing - we lost a lot of 'fans' in the wilderness years when our big and successful neighbours were picking up the pots, you dont see kids in Wigan/Wire/Saints shirts anymore. I was at the SL/Leopards 'unveiling' and the fan base was split, but we needed a new audience to grow, MASTERSTROKE. Fans go to a party every home game, last night my lads mate did his first ever RL game on a mates ST in the north stand - he's trying to get a season ticket this morning, we told him the stand was sold out but he's still trying. Next task is to stop our juniors being plucked by Wigan/Saints - that will take a few more year
