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

[johnh1]

Good comeback by Hull. Half time 12 - 12.    Quality according to Terry. Several times.

[Futtocks]

12 all at half time, somehow.

[Futtocks]

Did I hear the comms say that Keely Hodgkinson was at the match?

Isn't she a big Leigh fan ?

She's local, at least. If Degsy invited her, it's a good move.

He just never shuts up. And uses the word ‘quality’ to excess.

I think Terry would be speechless if somebody handed him a tub of Quality Street

The final score is pretty much what I expected, but given we were level at HT I am disappointed in the way we have faded.

Is that her from Ashes to Ashes ? Really loved that programme.

I don’t think she was at the match but I’m sure she’ll be at a match once she’s back from the Olympics. The announcement was celebrating her gold medal and there was also one for Tom Aspinalls UFC championship win

I don't think it was as much fading as how much the young lads put into that first half, they could not possibly keep that level of defencive intensity up for 80 mins, by the time Hardaker strolled over for the last try they were literally out on their feet, but it was a good showing from them albeit knackered never gave up.

She's on holiday with the family in Marbella.

[Loiner]

Silly me was getting her mixed up with Keely Hawes, a good job somebody knows what they are talking about.

[JohnM]

Oh yes, I can see her now chatting to Beaumont over  life in Howe Bridge.

Derek took the trouble to go to Paris to support her

Good on him i really don't understand all this DB knocking it's ridiculous

It was pretty similar to the game against Saints last week. Hung in there for as long as they could but you could see what was coming right from the first couple of sets in the second half.

Agree with you Harry.

Your pack is enormous but for me the key attribute is they are mobile.

Will GOB and Moylan be back next Sunday?  I think this will be the best match

Of the weekend.

 

[Agbrigg]

I read plenty of Hull supporters moaning about some of their recent recruitment duds. However from what I have seen this last few weeks, someone at the club has a shrewd eye for youth players. They have plenty of good young talent to build on that's for sure.

Mr Lam says those two will be available for selection next week, looking forward to it, but will probably go to a local. Been to Elland Rd a few times can't stand the place.

Lam has said after the game today that Moylan won’t be ready for next week, but O’Brien will be back. If he is, could well be Dwyer that makes way based on today’s showing.

Haven't heard post match, only Mr Lam's pre game and he said Moylan would be fit.

As for Dwyer, he has been playing very well and can shake things up when he comes on. I wouldn't drop him.

Here's the link to comments post match about Moylan https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/leigh-leopards-coach-provides-concerning-update-on-matt-moylan-injury

If O'Brien is back, that will mean Hughes goes back to the bench, and either Dwyer or Davis will have to make way. Dwyer has been an important signing for us this season, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lam goes with the reliability and structure that Davis would bring. Dwyer had a bit of a stinker yesterday, and was hooked fairly quickly.
