Match of the day/night (although games take that long nowadays it feels like a day/night cricket match). I think Leigh will be too strong for Leeds but Leeds will be hurting from last Friday. 
Leigh by 8. 

[Snowys Backside]

Are Leigh finally going to put in an 80 min performance ?  If they do, they take this.

They just need to get into Connor and Crofts faces because they have the pack to give an SL side a headache.

Hoping we come away with a big 2 points but Leeds on their day can beat anyone.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Great game in prospect - fancy Leigh by a couple of tries.

.

Can literally say the same about Leeds.

Thats why its s tough one to call.

win or lose if Leeds don’t show some sort of performance to show last week was a one off ill be annoyed.

[Thunder Road]

Sky bet gives us (Leigh) 10 start.

 

I will take that.. 

 

I think we could nick this.. 

Leigh by 6.

And if we do win , you know who to stay off the pitch .

[phiggins]

Hopefully no lingering on field impacts from Saturday’s nonsense and subsequent reports for Leigh. But think Leeds will be too strong at home anyway. 

[Luke HKR]

Leeds by 4.

[Loiner]

Tough one to call, I like the look of Leigh to be honest. Leeds were at there worst last week and will have to improve vastly. A game of small margins Leigh by 6.

Isn’t Derek still in Ireland ? 

Raising thousands for charity and for Wilkin to buy a personality ? 

[Thunder Road]

Snowy,

 

You could be right DB could still be in Ireland. 

That's good...

 

Can't replicate his giddiness from the previous week.

Hoping Leeds have a coach that wouldn't allow two such performances in a row, even last week there were signs of positivity, so Leeds worthy favourites.

He was wrong, but time to move on. 
 

I found Wilkin extremely unprofessional on Sky too. An absolute liability. Plenty far better. 
 

Back on topic, hoping Friday will be a belter and well attended. It deserves to be. 

[Thunder Road]

Very close...

 

I think we are in with a real shout.

On the fence on this game, could go either way as long as it is a good entertaining game that'll do me.

Who is/are the prime targets Lioner?

Looking forward to this. 

Leigh seem a difficult team to judge at times - one week brilliant, the next week (usually the week I tip them in our tipping comp), much less so. With Leeds what you get, last week notwithstanding, is consistency. 

I think if both teams put in a 10/10 performance, Leigh edge it. But equally, I think Leeds have the strength and gameplan that could dominate possession and territory to stifle Leigh. 

Hard to call, but going with the heart and Leeds by 4.

Thank you!

[phiggins]

Early exchanges could go either way, but I think Leeds will take a decisive lead between the 30-50 min mark, while Leigh have Matt Davis and Jack Hughes playing prop.

[binosh]

Leeds by 12 for me, home advantage, stinging from last week and we can’t string an 80 minute performance together. Worrying that we have no cover for Armstrong on the bench who gets a knock every week. 

Not expecting to win this one but hope for a really entertaining game.

[LeytherRob]

Surprised a penalty wasn’t given for dragging McIntosh into touch after held called, that’s usually always a penalty.

Doesn’t excuse the poor error and defence that followed for Leigh, mind.
