Sun 11th Aug: SL: Leigh Leopards v Hull FC KO 15:00 (Sky Sports+/SuperLeague+)

[MZH]

Leigh are on a short turn around and we hopefully have a few troops back including hopefully a debut for Cartwright. So I'm confident of it being a lot more competitive than the Saints game. Leigh should still have a bit too much, but if we keep it tight for an hour they could run out of steam. 

[Andy JG]

massive game for Leigh's top 6 aspirations...chasing down Salford and Catalans hard..win this, and the Salford game at magic weekend is huge.

[muckymunksy]

Hull to run the moaners close but end up losing 18-14 

[Thunder Road]

With the injury woes Hull have I am going for a leigh win by 18+..

[48C North Stand]

Despite Leigh playing Tues, they'll still have too much for FC's youngsters. Leigh by 12.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Leigh by 20.

[Snowys Backside]

A bit of animosity upstairs will sort this out and no doubt Leigh would want to turn the screw big time. 
 

Will Leigh disperse without a fight or will they go to chase down Catalans and Salford ?

I will be positive on hopefully the back on some positive recruitment news to come and for Leigh to win comfortably.

Leigh to win this,I think. They'll be fresh after having a 40 min rest  in the first half on Tuesday.

[Patx71]

 I was disappointed with the performance against the pies and without Moylan our attack is limited, but against a depleted Hull I think Leigh will scrape through by 8.

Looks like we've extended our record squad numbers to 54! Might hit 60 by year's end!

Can't even guess a squad out of that. Don't know where half of them play! 

Looking forward to a front row of Ese'ese and Eseh!

Yeah not good that Wellsy, only 2 players by their shirt numbers that was considered to be your best line up at the start of the season, I remember in '17 through injury we had to play 37 different player's, but injury situations only effects teams at the top of the league if you listen to 'the experts', but life would be much harder for you if like us fighting a relegation battle.

We lost out but I wouldn't have it any other way, I would much sooner go to a game where the result does matter and all the senses come into play, not just being a passive observer. Which i think there will be quite a few of those games as the season unfolds for a number of clubs from next season.

But good luck for Sunday, but not to much albeit I hope 'your kids' put up a good show, I will be there.

Leigh A team to beat Leigh B team 24-10

[Old Frightful]

Leigh will be strong favourites even having played on Tuesday. Our only hope, as has already been pointed out, is that there's not much between the two teams going into the last quarter then the young kids might be able to take advantage of Leigh's tiring legs.

But, to be honest, I rather think they'll be out of sight by then, rather sadly.

No disrespect to any individuals in that squad, but what an absolute car crash.

Up to squad number 54, only 2 of the first 17 available, there are about half a dozen players there who I literally know nothing about. The average age of that squad must be about 22.

I'm sure we will put up a spirited performance, but it could be a painful watch.

I tried to write a predicted lineup and struggled to get into the forwards because I'm not sure everyone's preferred position! 

I really hope we have that Ese'ese/Eseh front row!

How fatigued will Leigh be after Tuesday?

Guess that’s Hull’s best hope is it?
