Padge the Oracle, you can take Mystic Megs place  ow that she has just passed away.  I still think that we are a bit light on numbers with 27 players, I would keep Shorrocks though in an instance if Wigan would let us, he performed far better than some who ran out at the DW last night.

But thanks for your sentiments.

Every Wigan supporter I speak to say's our forwards are light and skilless, and I agree. We have pack of cards not a pack of forwards.

If I could be @r$3d to find the quote, but I can't. it would put it in context.

Many cheap shots off the ball from Saints again?

I wouldn't comment on questions like that BB.

[Pie tries]

Have the StH fans started their losing a game which hunt, running down the streets with pitch forks - looking for a ref to blame ?

Saints don’t like Leigh away, and like the HKR match, I’m dated at predictions. 
 

Leigh by 8. 

Wished I had put my money on my own prediction instead of Warrington letting me down by exactly the score on a 4 way accumulator they won by.

 

Now, what odds would I have for that bearing in mind we had 12 start ?

Well done leigh, next week should be a cracker. Big crowd, 2 sides on form. GET YOUR TICKETS. 

Already have mine.

I will be in Stocky Heath at 4pm and walking up to the HJ  (but walking into the packed away end !!!)

Your right though, I can see a crowd of 13-14k on (weather permitting)

[daz39]

Wow ! Well done Jag-pards

 

Who can stop the Saints we were asked, well everyone it seems is the answer

[LeytherRob]

Well, what a result. I think we were by far the better team on the night and I think Saints could count themselves lucky in the first half to be 12-0 up at halftime. Leighs pack were all over St's all game but some poor errors in attack gifted Saints the territory that a team as clinical as them just couldn't pass up. Once Leigh started completing sets Saints didn't look even close to scoring in the second half. Saints looked very lethargic and the WCC hangover was definitely still in effect.

Pleased for Leigh tonight.....must have been a brilliant atmosphere amongst the freezing cold Leythers there tonight

It really was! I listened to the game on BBC Radio Manchester, it sounded superb. The partisan crowd produced an incredible atmosphere  and at the end the Leigh fans were singing like drunken sailors on shore leave!

It was a great hit but i wouldn't say Edwin is small Steve. Hes like granite !!

I like Walmsley, but he didn't like it !!

I'm going for the Jaguars to post a 2nd successive win and their fans to claim everyone is jealous of them  

You're welcome Leythers 

And no, I'm not jealous

So who’s to blame tonight?

The ref?

Leeto the leopard?

Carole Decker off of T’pau?

Gary Lineker is all the rage at the moment isn't he?

Ah yes.

Well, it would be dull if Leigh had nothing left to conquer.

I bet red vee forum see it differently;-)

To be fair they were more open minded than ever before, accepting Leigh's better play, but seeing problems with their side. 

[JohnM]

I'd like to join in the celebrations of Leigh's great victory , one that, given they've just beaten the World Champions, must make them Galactic Champions. 

I'd like to, but to be honest......

[moorside roughyed]

Well done Leigh. Great stuff.

We have in the immediate future, Wire away on Friday and Wigan at home in 2 weeks, and the small matter of Hull FC away inbetween.

[Gooleboy]

Well done Leigh, a great result for the Club and supporters.

Has Shorrocks actually impressed? I had a feeling Lam signed him purely for his utility value but the utility tag is always a bit of a misnomer as he's played multiple positions and only ever played well in one, which is loose forward, where he's very impressive.

He was very I impressive last night Eagle perhaps a new environment is doing him good, if Matty Peet watches this game he will bring him back, looked far more commited and energetic than most of your forwards on display on Thursday, you mention loose forward I would put him above Smithies I think I have seen enough of Smithies to make an opinion, he is like a throwback to an old Wigan Favourite for me being Ian Potter the lad is not to bad in defence but there is more Rugby League abillity in a table leg, not what is required in todays game, in Potters time you could get away with it.

Just my opinion.
