A very good suggestion, well pointed out!

[48C North Stand]

I'm sure FC fans will be willing their new signings for next year to play very well indeed. In fact, for the benefit of RL in Kingston upon Hull, we need FC to improve next year - so let's, as one voice across the mighty river Hull, shout the Leopards on to a glorious victory.

Not bloody likely!

Warriors to slay the Leopards and knock spots off them … or is that Cheetahs ?

We’ve just had a local gold at the Olympics so if that doesn’t inspire us to finally beat this lot away from home then it never will

Kris Radlinski, was claiming Keely as a Wigginer on the BBC RL podcast past week.

You do know when the Leigh player's have their last meal together at the end of the season, all those travelling to the far east are going to have their meal laced with 3 year lasting laxatives.

[Zilla Budgie]

If we were at full strength I'd be hopeful, but on that big wide pitch without Tom Amone, Gaz O'Brien and probably Matty Moylan, I predict a 12 - 18 point loss.

Going of the skysports bench yesterday with Jai Field, he will most likely not be playing, albeit Peet has bamed him in the 21 man squad, with him and French missing that even things up a bit. According to a recent report when both are missing from the Wigan team together, they only have a 45% win rate.

That's a coincidence. We e just had a local gold at the Olympics, too.

I think the outcome of tonight's is hard to predict. Leigh will be up for it, fueled by the biggest shoulder - chip in Christendom.  It depends to some extent on which Smith turns up tonight; the one with the excellent kicking performance or the other one.

Poor discipline could cost us points, too.

Leigh need to believe and play similar to the Saints game. Cannot play conservative like they did v Cas because the Crustmunchers will smother us. 
 

Do that with energy and decent second phase, we will win the ruck as we know Wigan are the best at cheating the ruck to the limit. 
 

Run at the half backs all day long !

Amone a big loss, but I can see Pene having a big game here with Mulhern. 
 

Moylan will play for sure !

I have so say,it's not like a Leigh fan to accuse a team of cheating.

It’s not like a Wigan fan to leave the stadium early when they are losing, but if you think Wigan are not the masters of slowing the ruck down and getting away with it then your deluded John !

It's the inferiority complex of some Leigh fans that's evident. They don't iike being a suburb of Wigan, it seems.

Still,its a big game tonight for Leigh, but just another game for us.

Different times etc...but a Leigh win at Central Park from October 1981 which I vividly recall attending.

Tommy Martyn got the winning try late on, scored right in front of where I was standing in front of the clubhouse end at Central Park.

I remember Leigh wearing an old fashioned all blue away kit, which looked old fashioned even back in 1981.

Some less than familiar names in the Wigan team. 

Would love a repeat tonight. 

   

[my missus]

i fancy leigh in this 24-18 wigan will struggle to score without field.

[Whippet13]

Confirmed Field not playing and also looks like Hampshire is not selected on the right wing, contrary to rumours.

. I left Leigh in 1997 John but I know where my roots are. 

On Holiday but will be watching. Please stay in your seat for 80 mins, and can we finally break the away cycle since 1983? 

Good luck, and to all the Leigh fans, please ensure you are safely vaccinated beforehand
