Tonga, Higham, Weston and Foster added from the Wigan game and Lachlan Burr and Dave Thompson both set to make their debuts. No Ridyard, McNally or Higson (injured) and no Crookes, Paterson, Pelissier or Glenn Stewart.

Strong squad!

The Leigh Centurions squad is:
1 Mitch Brown
4 Willie Tonga
5 Matty Dawson
7 Josh Drinkwater
8 Gareth Hock
9 Micky Higham Captain
10 Dayne Weston
13 Harrison Hansen
15 Danny Tickle
16 Antoni Maria
17 Atelea Vea
19 Ryan Hampshire
20 Ben Reynolds
21 Liam Hood
22 James Green
23 Sam Hopkins
24 Jamie Acton
26 Lewis Foster
27 David Thompson
28 James Clare
29 Lachlan Burr

Looking at these players and the 7 that are missing, it makes a squad of 28 players, now only 17 can be in the squad at Cas in 2 weeks time meaning 11 of the players mentioned here won't be playing, you can count out Higson and McNally through injury but another 9 will miss out, the question is WHO?Charlie doesn't know.

No you don't Charlie, but put in context I do wonder if the squad is a little thin on the ground for quality - a few injuries which happens at an intense level and we could have problems

Wouldn't like to predict our team for Cas just yet but with the squad available for Sunday I am expecting something close to the below:

1. Hampshire
2. Dawson
3. Brown
4. Tonga
5. Clare
6. Reynolds
7. Drinkwater
8. Weston
9. Higham
10. Hock
11. Vea
12. Maria
13. Hansen

Subs:
Hopkins
Hood
Acton
Green
Tickle
Foster
Thompson
Burr

Indeed, our squad compared to Warrington's is pretty dire !!!

Col,with a squad of 28 players, I'm happy with the quantity,and I'm happy with the quality, looking at the other squads for me Salord , Wakey, and Widnes are weaker than us,I'm not sure about Hudds, I keep hearing a rumour that all is not well with the Hudds players bonding,so again they could be there for the taking.
For me, I'm not going to say we are nailed on for a top 8 finish, I know some think we are, but being realistic, I'm not so sure, after last week's game, this week we have very little to prove, but again I will say I'm happy with our squad,and feel Derek has worked wonders getting this Squad together.

Weston won't be back until March Nozzy.

Quote THECherry&Whites="THECherry&Whites"Weston won't be back until March Nozzy.'" Based on what TC&W? He has been named in the official squad for Sunday so I would assume he is good to go. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2017/01/2 ... y-fixture/

Its a friendly Noz..Free for all squad wise.

I would love to be able to pinch McGillvary & Cudjoe from under their noses, if they were unsettled. I reckon that would give us plenty to avoid the Q8's.

Agree also that Leigh could be stronger than Widnes & Salford, Wakey could be improved over their 2016 season.

Thought they were lacking ideas in the 8's to be honest. Dawson and Reni minced em..

Anyone for hiring a plane to fly over the LSV at the Leeds match with that on the banner ?
