GAME ON : Leigh Centurions v Leeds Rhinos - 20:00:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Leeds by 60

Sounds like North, south & west stands will all but sold out by kick off.
Massive ask for leigh to get anything out of this game but I'm still going full of optimism.
Think Leigh just need to pace themselves better than they did last week

Too close to call for me.

My above post was obviously a niggle to get bites. Thats fantastic news for a televised game be nice to see a near full stadium on tv. I think Leigh will be better prepared than last week and will know a bit more whats needed to compete. Very interesting game that I cant really call if the Leigh crowd get on top they could get a result. Although I felt Martyn Ridyard looked extremely unfit last week not good at this level

Think it's an awkward one for us (Leeds) to go there as the first visitors on there return to SL. They'll be well up for it from the players to the crowd because of that reason so we need to make sure we start well in the opening 20/30 and not give the crowd anything to get excited about:

I admire your optimism

.....

Should be a decent game and hopefully one that goes down to the wire for the neutral. Difficult to predict the outcome but think if Leeds match Leigh up front then they have that little bit more quality in the backline to just edge it.

Pains me to say it but I'm actually hoping for a Leeds win tonight

, purely to bring a few Leigh fans back down from their pedestals after some of the guff they've been spouting for the past couple of seasons. Saying that, a second consecutive defeat for Leeds may lead to some sort of backlash when we play them at Headingley next week!

Expecting a Leeds win.

I expect Leigh to have improved from last week but Leeds to get control after 30 minutes.

Too close to call for me this one. Atmosphere should be fantastic for those attending. Be great to see a full house at Leigh and a tight game. Leeds have the better outside backs, but its whether they can get good ball or not. Looking forward to this one, it has the makings of a great match for the neutral.

No probs


Im hoping lots of people are only now deciding to come to the game rather than watch on the tv otherwise the east stand will be mainly empty which is not bad considering were we've come from not long ago.anything around 7k would be good for now and bode well for when some other clubs come to town.
Good atmosphere guaranteed,even better than the giants game in the qualifiers.
Dont think ridy in squad for tonight so im hoping Reynoulds gets his chance

if Leeds get a 12 point lead early on 'game over', if it's 'close' at HT, could be interesting.....though Leeds should beat us by about 14+ points. Too many changes from last weeks team in my opinion, one poor game doesn't mean the side 'isn't upto it'.

I can't see this game being won in the forwards. I think Leigh will throw it about like the Tigers did against them.
If Leeds attack like they did against Saints it could be tricky for them.
Goulding saved them from a battering last week. I hope for Leeds sake he repeates his form.
I'm gonna say 26-14 to Leigh.

Is that a whole stand closed for Leigh first SL game at LSV against a big club with a good chance of winning?

How was that not obstruction?

When people ask what an obstruction is and why we don't allow it, we can show them that. It was one of those decisions that are so bad you can't be angry with it. The slide tackle on Burrow was almost as bad. He has also somehow called a forward pass 4 passes after a try has been scored. Not covering himself with glory.

And missed a blatant try but saved by the video ref. This guy is nowhere near SL standard.

Yep, the whole town has been waiting for this day apparently, but we all know it;s only Huddersfield's attendances that are allowed to be criticised.

Good game though, Leigh looked like they'd shot their load early again, could be anyone's in the 2nd half.

It was 'sold out' though..

get tickle off, leigh then may stand a chance!

A proper has-been.

Cuthbertson doesn't know when to not offload

good game IMO

Leeds really look pretty ordinary, don't they, Golding apart. I expected them to take control in the second half and Leigh to wilt, but it didn't happen like that.
