Leigh away

[town2018]

What's everyone's thoughts on this week personally I would be happy to right this week off and give fitzy and few others a week off and go again next week against London 

[IanMac]

It’s on our league as well if anybody fancies paying £4.95. 

[David69]

My thought. If leigh can put 52 points on batley at batley. I would be happy with that. Been honesty, think could be 80 plus points. I hope they have one eye on totteham.  Nobody goner get anything posative from going there than other to keep score down.  

[DavidM]

I remember putting 90 on them . I hope they don’t use it as motivation 

[town4me]

Leigh had a massive budget and like for most of the championship  this fixture is  damaged limitation exercise.

Well we did beat them 94-4 once ! So we’d need to pop a drop goal over this time.

Yes would be great.

Some people need to remember - when being negative all the time [on here] that the year previous to this match we went to Leigh and were well beaten 68 - 0 at Hilton Park  [ I was there ]

And as we can see in the matter of 12 months we beat them 94-4 and thankfully [ I was there also ]

Things can change quickly and no doubt Chris and the team are working on it.

[Johnny Ringo]

Leigh will rest as many of their first choice stars as possible this week as they will be looking to win the Cup Final against Featherstone next Saturday with a day shorter turnaround.

You sure that was the same year? I could be thinking of a different game but i thought that was a night match and Stuart Hoyles was our best player but that would be a few years after.

The 68-6 (Not nil by Town) defeat at Hilton Park was on 8/03/92....Town's score from Wear with try and goal.

The Round Five Cup victory score of 94-4 to Town was at Derwent Park on 26/02/95...so approx three year gap.

Doubt it , we did the double that year to get promoted 

[chromedome]

BTW.....................Stuart Hoyles didn't play in either of those aforementioned Leigh matches.

My mistake - going of memory not records

For this match like my visit to meet Jimmy Saville at the BBC, I think I`ll just shut my eyes and pretend it didn't happen.

Don’t think it would matter if they played their wives at the minute marra

[RogerT]

Just go and give it a go, you have nothing to loose.

As I mentioned on our forum when Leigh were playing uphill and they got a scrum they tendered to hold the ball in the base of the scrum to try and catch Batley defenders off side like they do in union.

[Mr Frisky]

I'm looking at train times to Leigh at the moment.
