Leigh by 8 points

[Thunder Road]

Another potential slippage game.

We were fortunate last week .Not sure we will preserve that luck for this.

Wire have 8 start on sky bet.

We may have Big Joe and Mulhearn back, there's a possibility Badrock too..

The lesser spotted Pene is a no.Appears he's  out with a twisted sock.

Hate this but Wire will nick this one I fear.

Burgess beginning to get a tune our of his squad.

I don't think we were lucky last week at all. Hull were on top for about 25 minutes, we were dominant for 40 and the other 15 fairly even.

That said, we've only won 2 against top half teams this year, and they were against depleted sides. 

[Thunder Road]

I actually thought last week Hull would crawl back and win.

The 40/20 was the pivotal moment in my view.

 

Why couldn't we be entertaining Saints ?

40/20 was massive and completely changed the momentum of that game. It was only going one way before that. 

Cook pulled off the same trick when we were struggling away at Catalan as well. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

I've gone for Wire in the poll, but this could go either way.

[Snowys Backside]

Leigh by two scores so probably 8 with Cooke’s kicking

Cook"s kicking is going to cost us, I have a Feeling this week he will acheive that.

[WN83]

I could see this being a top game, certainly much better/closer than the magic game anyway. Wire looked good last week and Leigh have been a bit below their best at times in the last two weeks but very good at others. 

I'll go home advantage to take it for Leigh by 4 points. 

[my missus]

leigh easy wire in an incredible false position.

[Leyther_Matt]

Surely Wire can’t be as bad as the other week?

Will we get the Leigh of the first 40 last week or second 40?

How will I adapt to having to wear long pants for the first time in what feels like months?

Charnley and Armstrong to score any time, Leigh to win at 9/2

Breakfast - pub - Atherton Colls v Bala Town - taxi - rugby - two points please. Up the Leythers. 

[Thunder Road]

Sounds great that Matt.

 

Anything Athy is a winner.

 

[Loiner]

Hoping for a Leigh win, and they will by 12 pts

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I'll start with the beeb punditry and just see who is on comms before deciding which I'm watching it on.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Oh christ! Robbie Paul in comms! 

Who is on Sky?

[StandOffHalf]

The Wire player used the ground to keep his hand on it as he got up to play it, which constitutes a knock-on.

''Nulligate'' - Robbie Hunter-Paul's neologism of the day

[StandOffHalf]

I think that should be a penalty try.

Armstrong races away and scores that, but for the pull-back.

If it's not a penalty try, it certainly should be a yellow card. That's shocking officiating.

[StandOffHalf]

Armstrong over next set anyway.

Irwin allowed to pull back Armstrong is baffling.

Not sure if it's just my feed on BBC but my audio is not sync'd to the sound at all.

I heard the Leigh fans celebrate before he scored

[The Hallucinating Goose]

It looked like the touchie's flag fell off its stick when he waved it for the missed conversion there!

Mine seems alright.

[StandOffHalf]

Nice try that with dummy-runner coming in hard and Armstrong sliding around behind Lam.

[Barry Badrinath]

Hows that not a penalty he shouted held and they picked him up for 8 metres
