(at Elland Road, Leeds)

[Snowys Backside]

Huge game. Leigh just need to find a way to win to keep the hopes of the 6 alive. 

[Thunder Road]

• Josh Charnley (Leigh Leopards) – Grade B Contrary Behaviour – 1 Match Penalty Notice (Higher End).

Our job has been made much harder...We have to win this ..

Suspect it will be O'Brien coming back in at full back, with Hardaker moving to the wing and Hughes staying at stand off. Unless Lam is comfortable in bringing Hodgson or Nisbet into the team. Fear that you need your strongest backline when playing Salford though.

[Harry Stottle]

Can anyone expand on why he has been charged please.

 

[Loiner]

Hoping for a Leigh victory, might keep our hopes alive.

‘Kicking out’ is what the details of the allegation are.

[Thunder Road]

Harry,

Having had a look at the minutes of the sanction which are lacking in substance is just states Kicking out..

Can't say that it was obvious, I don't recall it and maybe the three onfield officials and VR also missed it if there was no free kick given, was there?

[Thunder Road]

I agree...

Nothing remarkable about the incident. 

 

If Josh gets 1 match for that,then If I were Harry Smith I'd be a tad worried. 

[48C North Stand]

Leigh in a close one. Might be game of the round. 

[Pete Grady]

Close, but Salford by 1 or 2 scores, I think the extra days off Salford have over Leigh will have a bearing.

Come on Salford!!

[binosh]

Going Salford on this one the leigh team looked knackered after 3 in 10 days.

Could it have been the Wigan game ?? A few have mentioned him kicking out when he was on the floor at some point in that game 

[Father Ted]

Leigh by a few.

Yes it was. 

[JohnM]

I think Leigh will be stronger and more organised than Salford.

Yes, they'll miss Charnley but they'll still have Hardaker.

That is why I can't recall it in the Hull game, thanks chaps.

[Zilla Budgie]

I know we beat Salford quite easily weeks ago, but I'm expecting a Salford win by about 10 points. Hopefully It's us that win by 10.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Really tricky, this one. I'll say Leigh in golden point extra time, but we shall see.

[sweaty craiq]

Rowley likes to slow down the ptb and a stop start type of game. Leigh like a quick ptb and fast game - whichever we get that team wins

[DG70]

Leigh by 16

I saw the Charnley incident and thought at the time it looked like he was aiming at someone and it wa a bit naughty so not surprised he's copped a punishment.

Think Leigh will win this but it should be close.

You have the better of me daz, I don't recall it all, but if he has aimed a kick - which I assume was after being tackled - then he should quite rightly recieve a punishment, it is one of the two things I have really despised on a RL field, the other is the ball carrier leading with the elbow to the head of a defender.

[Harry Stottle]

Happy that for this game the referee is Aaron Moore, by far the best ref in the list in my opinion.
