If there's one thing I hate in RL its hitting a forward at 3rd receiver. Kills momentum nearly every time but Leigh loved to do that tonight.

Moominman Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Unfortunately the game between Newcastle and Whitehaven has been abandoned, due to what appears to be a serious injury to Newcastle player, Ollie Gowing. At the time of the abandonment, the score was Newcastle 28 - Whitehaven 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 On 13/03/2021 at 16:17, The Phantom Horseman said: A fairly typical pre-season game between Fev and Batley (final score 36-16) in that it became a bit scrappy as it went on once the substitutions started coming thick and fast. Fev were totally dominant for the first 25 minutes though, making big metres down the slope and keeping Batley penned in their own territory, before five of the starting pack were substituted. Because I was watching that game I didn't see the first half of Toulouse v Catalans but I presume Toulouse played well to be 24-12 up at half time? Catalans took control in the second half to win comfortably, they seemed to have most of their recognisable starters on when I was watching. So nothing from the pre-season games to suggest that Toulouse, Fev and York won't live up to their billing as the three to beat in the Championship, but pre-season isn't always an accurate guide. I thought Batley looked a lot stronger than Oldham the previous week. The acid test for Fev comes next Sunday. Let's see just how good they are. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM. An Earl and a Knight of the Garter.” Clement Attlee.

Even though it was a just a pre-season friendly that doesn't bode well for Leigh. Saints left out Coote, Lees, Grace & Knowles and took Roby off after 2 minutes due to a head knock and still despite dominating possession Leigh still found themselves down 18-6 at HT. Saints made 11 changes at HT and with exception of Makinson, Paasi & Amor had pretty much a team of teenagers out there, yet Leigh still only managed a 1 point last minute win even though they had a near full strength team out virtually the whole game. For me their only real stand out was Ellis had a really good kicking game. I think Leigh (& Wakey) will really struggle this year.

Already been done. Very happy with what I saw from a depleted Leigh side - yes Flower, McCarthy, Bell, Elliot, Wallace and Tierney are all first 17 - especially in that first half against the wind. More game time and the passes would be finding players and not the turf which played a big role in ruining the opportunities created. We need a few more and have the cash should they become available, and if not and we get a run of injuries we will be into the loan market to get by. Conditioning looked good and spirit was first class - with a bit of luck in the key games we could well sneak 11th - it will also help playing the big guns just before Wembley or the play offs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made an appeal to our league for my money back after listening to wilkin waffle on about how good saints are instead of commentating on the game.
