The Phantom Horseman Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Barrow by 12 Draw Batley/Fax Bulls by 6 Leigh by 48 Newcastle by 6 Widnes by 20 Fev by 4 Watched Leigh's game at St Helens last night. Leigh shaped very well and made it a tough arm wrestle of a game all night against the champs, obviously can't tell too much from a friendly but it will be surprising if they lose many this year, the team is full of recent SL or NRL players, they have got lucky to an extent in terms of who became available but that £1.2 million spend is going to have its effect.

binosh Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I wouldn't be surprised to see a Haven upset tomorrow, they were great in 2021 and Leigh will be there for the taking. If this game was at Whitehaven i would be worried. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Stottle Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Well just a couple of hours before the long waited kick off, even at my age and in my 60 odd season of being involved in a lot of different capacities in this game I am like a kid getting all exited at the prospect of standing on the terrace and going through all the emotions that come with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don’t think they will lose but a couple of early defeats for these two would really open the championship up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonM Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Impressed with the plough lane stadium, quite a lot of RL fans walking through Wimbledon before the game. Probably a bit under the 2000 attendance mark. Referee has done his bit to keep the score down, but 5 tries to 1 tells its own story. Broncos down the slope second half though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Town 6 Thunder 20 full time Very even game until Storm Corrie arrived just after half time and Town were left playing the last 35 minutes into the teeth of a gale force wind and torrential rain and couldn’t make any ground at all, even kicks were barely going 10 metres. Thunder took full advantage of the field positions that they didn’t have to work for but were not impressive in the slightest. 2 I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a Thunder perspective happy to get a win as knew today would be tough. We've had a big turnaround on the playing side so the team will take time to gel.

I thought other than that we did well, but didn't really look like opening them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
