Weather is already terrible Sentoff and not predicted to improve, can't help but think it will suit Saints more than Leigh.

Absolutely smashing it down in Warrington and has been since half six this morning, although May buck up before kick off. 
 

Going to be an old fashioned slug fest I feel

Id like Leigh to win but cant cope with all the moaning when Saints lose a game.

Looking forward to it. Will be my first time watching the famous Leigh Leopards.

To carry on the rumour theme, Ben Davies is apparently on our bench and will be used as a second row. He hasn't played a first team game for months, so that's a bold call by Wellens, especially given he would be playing out of position (I doubt he'll be coming on at centre),

I don't know if I'm reading too much into that but, if true, suggests to me that Matautai may play at centre replacing Percival and makes me question whether Makinson is playing too.

Really fancy Leigh for this, Lam to boss the show. Don't like Beaumont, but you can't deny he's got the place buzzing.

That would be a huge loss as I can only think of Chamberlain as a replacement and he has struggled in that position.

Was waiting for the phone call but it’s too late now. 
 

Im 10 pints deep. (And riddled with arthritis)

Chamberlain will be ok as long as he will read the moves and read things defensively.

I think this game may be 1 too far for leigh, we were pants against York and faltered against Salford.

I think the BBC applied for electronic subtitles for JJB but no technology in the world could manage it.

High swinger from Knowles early doors unpunished.

"Tom Briscoe...seven tries in total from Wembley finals"...

I feel the need to point out that this statistic is skewed by one final in particular.

[Old Frightful]

What has happened with the penalty loving Chris Kendall?

[Jughead]

Not playing tacklers Square at marker, got it. About the fourth time that’s been attempted and not once was a tackler square. 

[Old Frightful]

Spoke too soon.

Strange that old frightful chose not to mention that one.....

The Leigh fans appear more bothered about booing and labelling Kendall a cheat or bent than supporting their side in their first cup semi in a generation or two.
