Leeds have quite a few injuries for this one, can't see anything but a Leigh win unfortunately.

Sivo

Handley

Connor

Oledski

Smith

Palasia

Matautia

Will be great to see George Brown again though

[Luke HKR]

Leigh by 6.

Don't worry, Croft seems to turn into a Johns / Lockyer hybrid whenever he plays against Leigh. Is it 4 on the trot Leeds have won in the last 2 seasons?

[WN83]

I quite fancied Leeds until I read about those injuries and I can't see past Leigh now.

 

Leigh by 8

Yes we've got a decent record I just think we're missing too many to match a Leigh side who are pretty much full strength.

Yeah, it's a strong Leigh squad, though I'll be surprised if Hanley plays. There seemed to be a lot made of Leigh having an injury crisis last week, even though the coach said 2 missing last week were HIAs and another two or three were touch and go to play last week. Was always going to be a stronger squad for round 1. 

I still refuse to raise my expectations. Decades of supporting Leigh does that to a person.

Leeds injuries may hinder them giving Leigh a winning start to the season.

Leigh have to be favourites with so many out for the Rhinos.

Brown to have a stormer but Leigh to be just too good.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Leigh by 10.

[St Reatham]

With Leeds’ injuries, I’m going with Leigh by 8.

Dereks upgraded a few smoke machines I see.

Which Sky channel is this on ?

I can't see it on my not so straightforward stick only the much less appealing fallen giants game.

I’m pleased with the Leeds starting line up, given who is actually available.

Handbags are out I see.

Go into the sports menu, rather than hitting the red button.

It'll be there in the live sports

Lachie Miller an early contender for the Harry Smith-Mikey Lewis play acting award for a pathetic dive to try to win a penalty for interference at the restart

There was contact, with another Leeds player waving his arms about.
