You will be very surprised.

I have been watching RL for a lot of years best Leigh side for 25 seasons

I admire you, that's a bold statement so soon.

we had 9 players all under 20 playing in todays game Wayne Godwin came on 30 mins into the game and then got knocked out 20 mins into the second half, nero, gleeson, and wild played a max 30 mins of the 80, same with gibson and broughton, the only two players to start and complete the match was Matty smith and stef ratchford. add that to 7 of our best players still in oz and the equals Leigh winning by one point!

hardly what you call the best team in 25 years?

I have a 13 day old Baby Daughter I am very tired

now that is a bold statement after some of the teams leigh have had over that time.

Does this mean we don't have to have 15 more threads a day about how Leigh are they saviour of RL?



It's a good win but maybe going a bit OTT? Widnes beat a very young yet with a few 1st teamers against Saints two years back and didn't exactly dominate the league did we! Don't even think Fax fans said their side last season was there best in 20+ years. Maybe as you say though if as many Leigh fans who go to watch other sides went to watch yourselves you'd be onto a winner

No duals no Govin no Robbie Paul we are good we have cover for every position. Salford had at leat 8 of their first team squad They are full time. We will win the Championship by 10 points.

Save this post get your money on us Leythers you will make money.

I take it you had a drink or two post game?

I think this quote may return to haunt you

Frank....you always start off well......



Quite a bit of ammunition for them in your posts. In all seriousness, both teams playing their first game. Salford missing 6 or 7, leigh missing 3 or 4, both teams making lots of subs. Salfrod spent 30 minutes of the first 40 in thier own half and scored two tries to our one. Second half was 3 tries to 0 in Leighs favour.

Summary, useful run out for both coaches. Salfords strength in depth looks to be severely lacking.

I've taken Frank's advice on board

Anyone who makes statements like that on the back of a Christmas pre-season friendly is a buffoon of the highest order. Not even Vikingman would provide solid gold ammunition like that. Thanks Frank B

No doubt pre game as well.Frank is well known as a wind up merchant

win it by 10 points we'll just win the play offs instead

Hey, thanks for the tip. Do you want a cut of my winnings ? You have your championship & we'll take our residency in the GF and bring the real prize home

You have me well sussed Mick.

Leigh are going to win the league by a country mile

ten points is even further than a country mile i think.

Frank B gets carried away and was only a friendly.Top 4 i think, but to say win the league is a joke.

Nope, sorry, you can't take it back for him now. He's said and It should be pinned up in the locker room as we speak, MC I'm told will be using it to fire up the boys for every game, 'Come on boys, Frank B said...' I can see it now, with ammo like that how can we not win everything this year, even the Euro's and Wimbledon!!!!!!






P.S. Yes, I am aware the Euro's aren't even on this year

Glad we don't bother with the games at Christmas anymore, waste of time.
Another RL tradition gone down the toilet but like I said they are not worth it now, just let us all come back fully refreshed in the New Year, starting to get the itch now.

Then I think you should be wondering why your club relies so much on overseas players. In fact, when you lump in Nero as well, 8 players from overseas is absolutely fecking ridiculous, if you ask me. We've only got one overseas player in Robbie Paul, and even he doesn't count on the quota!

Maybe takes the limelight away from the country mile comment?

You could say that about every team in every sport in England my friend.

agree about that, why do SL teams have so many overseas players then complain about england not being able to do well. thought they were supposed to be using more UK players these days.
