Sun 8 Aug: SL: Leigh Centurions v Hull Kingston Rovers 18:30 (TV)

[John Drake]

Discuss Leigh Centurions v Hull Kingston Rovers here.

Rovers by 24 even with half a team missing.

[GUBRATS]

Rovers even though Leigh have a full strength team out

[Harry Stottle]

There is someone who must be forever the optimist, Leigh have had at least one person who for every game has had them as the victors, maybe the way this season has panned out and especially if the call comes for no relegation they may they may just sneak one in somewhere, but in a competitive season I wouldn't expect a win anywhere, and that is not the view of someone just looking at the results, I have watched every game bar one which I listened to on the radio commentary, and I will be in attendance at this one.

To quote my friend Gubrats, "I expect us to lose".

Had it on very good authority that we have 14 players available to select from as of yesterday. Each will draw a position from a hat and the 3 other bench spots will not even warm up

As I said , a ' full strength squad ' of 14

I remember Leigh turning up to Dewsbury a few seasons ago with only 13 players, bravely led by Micky Higham and quite well supported.

HKR by 20.

[Davo5]

Comfortable win for KR 

[Hela Wigmen]

Leigh get the dubya.

What's a dubya?

[Harry Stottle]

See the ref for tomorrow is Chris - forget the game watch me - Kendall, especially when he is on TV.

Something you’ve not had this year. 

[clogdance]

Should be a comfortable win for big spending Rovers, though hopefully we (Leigh) can make a decent start to the game. But I'll be surprised if we don't concede under 40 points.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Come on Leigh!

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

While I believe Hull KR will win convincingly I hope I’m wrong and Leigh get the win in this game 

[clogdance]

Keenan Brand at full back, Junior Sau on the wing, and Craig Mullen at stand off.  Our forwards aren't too bad though, compared to recent games. Still no Ben Flower though (ha ha)

[Man of Kent]

That Leigh line-up looks a bottom half Championship side. 

[Futtocks]

As ever, this HKR strip reminds me I must buy more toothpaste.

Being able to mute Terry ‘decent’ O’Connor

Fair point. Top 5 Championship side, perhaps

[Old Frightful]

Gotta feel for Dean Hadley, jeez he's had a lot of time out with injuries.

[Davo5]

Oh so close
