Signed before deadline, just not announced is my understanding

Yeah, I would expect there would be a latest time for registrations and after that it's too late - even the RFL couldn't mess that up....

Hello everyone,

I am contacting you from Bar None. We are a town centre pub in the middle of Leigh with free parking across the road and a capacity of around 200. We are roughly a 15 minute walk from the Leigh Sports Village Stadium. We would just like to welcome you to stop by on your travels as you come here to watch what will sure to be an exciting match. We open at 12 but if you arrive early our doors are definitely open to you. We have every live sports game available to us playing for your entertainment and to let you get involved in the early pre-match buzz. We offer pints of bitter from £2.10 and pints of lager at £2.60.

Are you what used to be The Avenue ? parking opposite is at an Asda supermarket and also a furniture shop FYI

Well, for anyone who didn't go to Leigh first game of the season and is planning the trip this time, I'd suggest not parking at the stadium as the stewards employed to clear it at the end of matches don't seem to have first idea on how to keep traffic moving

We used a local Rugby club and it was fine for getting away from. Unfortunately won't make it this time as we have a date with some Majorcan sunshine!

My friends and I parked in the stadium carpark and it was, frankly, a complete clusterfudge getting out

If its a sunday kickoff there werent any issues parking at the retail park either the loom near tesco or the parsonage site along the bypass at a harvester, both where easy to get out from afterwards.

At Leigh v Hull KR, KR aren't the same team who beat wire all over the place, Leigh playing like they have done all season.

Kr slowly improving but they are by no means at their best, and look very beatable

Looks like Gareth Hock going to cost Leigh this game.

Gee, what a total shocker that is

Hull KR should have enough to stay up regardless of Wembley so good result for us. Don't need Leigh getting any 2 bonus points

Chris Chester reckons Kelly unlikely to play in final due to ligaments. I'll bet my house he'll play in final. But whether he'll be fit enough after that is a different matter. Without Kelly and Campese, plus KR could be safe by the time we play them, could be a good opportunity to get 2 points.

If you look at our match v Rovers in the cup and the roles of Campese and Kelly it looked like the effectiveness of Mantellato was reduced drastically without them today. Lets hope Kelly is missing when we play them and they have already done enough. As for going to Leigh maybe we should leave our halfbacks out again on the basis of todays match.

Let's hope so

Would it be more appropriate if Leigh changed the H on Hocks shirt to C

Just a thought

You've got the upper hand for the championship teams now by winning your first round. The test is performing on the stage next week vs Wakefield, which I think you will do.

Skybet think the weekend's games have made it look more likely Wakey will stay in SL whereas PP think it is less likely and have pushed them out and pushed us in. Massive variation in prices. PP think it's a 3 horse race for 4th spot.

Had a look at Bulls/Wakey odds for Saturday and most had Wakey at around 2/5 on. Wakefiled will start as favourites as they are at home (although i still believe we have the better squad) but cannot believe they are so short odds. They will be a try maximum in it on Saturday.

It will be interesting to see if Wakefield are still odds on for 'promotion' with SkyBet if we beat them this Saturday.

I'd say that's a blow to Leigh's rivals. That's at least two penalties a game less Leigh will conceded.

What about try he scored against us and the offload for their 1st try on Saturday? He's still a seriously good player who makes things happen and a massive loss for any side in the middle 8s.

The offload is irrelevant as his brain explosions very clearly and indisputably cost Leigh that game.

It's not very clear or indisputable at all. Two penalties didn't decide a game played by 34 men for 80 minutes. That's just silly.

I think Hock has tonnes of ability and is very dangerous with his offloads, but he can be an absolute liability at times.

Leigh's collapse last Saturday wasn't solely his fault to be fair.
