Tomorrows game against the Rams will be in my opinion a very hard even game , i know a few Leythers think aLeigh win is certain , but for me the Rams are a very hard team to beat at Ram Stadium , so all in all Charlie is going for a score of Rams 16 v Leigh 26 ,the weather is forcast as very hot and sunny , so will suit our team of runners especially Brierley ,and our running second rowers Hopkins , Laithwaite,and hopefully Kevin Henderson .

It will be nice to see a good Leyth following to cheer the lads on in the sun ,i love the trips to Ram Stadium,the burgers are not bad either , providing you beat Leyther Matt to the Burger Van





,cmon you Leythers follow the lads and cheer them to a much needed victory .

Ryan's been dropped.

For what reason?

Thats crazy unless its for Discipline reasons , surely not tactical reasons , these conditions will suit Ryans game down to the the ground ,he would be 10 yards faster than any player on the pitch , cant understand this , any reasons PNE ?

Can't agree there CC Ryans speed is better on a full size pitch not the one there it's tiny, and the game is usually a forward dominated one. But that's why they pay the coach to make the decisions re team.

Also Henderson isn't available until June 2 according to the press release.

That's why we'll see Gallagher at HB tomorrow

Tactical.

Won't be easy at Dewsbury!

Well it seems Ryan will not feature tomorrow so maybe Deano Gardner and Jimmy T are fit ?

That would give us options at half back with Pownall going to fullback and McNally to scrum half otherwise we could not sub Beswick who I would have thought would start at seven.

Big gamble leaving Ryan out of the side given the fact Duffs isn't available imo but Paul is undoubtably doing a good job and he selects our side not me of course.

Don't know why RB isn't playing,maybe cas are starting to seriously look at taking him back.If thats the case nicho needs as much game time as possible with beswick.Duffy will be back to partner riddy soon

Kicking game vital at Dewsbury on that tight ploughed field, that and scooting from Dummy to put pace on the game in the heat. Pack the bench with forwards and play 2 hookers, maybe McNally to 7 as mentioned above. Depends on Spencer being available but Parker Beswick Spencer, Goulden Laithwaite, Hopkins would be my start pack with Nash Nicho Gallagher Ostick/Taylor the bench.
Have a bash at Pownall, Maden Gardner Littler Clay/McGilvary, Ridyard McNally in the backs

Class response from a Dewsbury fan, on 'TotalRL', in response to a mate, who is opting for a day at the seaside at Skegness, in preference to Dewsbury v Leigh: -

[i"Hard call for you that coolie - Skeggers or owl lane - One place is renowned for donkeys and sand the other is a seaside town in Lincolnshire."[/i

I agree Fred about why we pay the Coach , its his job to select the team , but we can voice our opinions ,again Paul has playedd the game , but horses for courses as they say , if the game was played in my garden i would still pick our Fastest player , our top try scorer , our game breaker IE =Ryan Brierley ,this weather and pitch is made for him ,Frankel is the BEST racehorse ever seen for many years , much FASTER than any around , i have NEVER trained a racehorse but i know Sir Henry Cecil his trainer wouldnt race him on soft or heavy ground , reason ?His speed would be affected.

Ryan is like a Thoroughbred Racehorse , built for speed ,and agility ,we need our fastest players in this weather and heat , it will kill Tommy Gallagher in this weather , you only have to look at the heavyweights playing at the Magic Week-end who wilted in the heat yesterday .

I bow to your knowledge on Kevin Henderson though .

"PLOUGHED FIELD "Where have you been for the past 7 days Mo ?The MOON



The game is not being played in Siberia , it has not rained in Yorkshire for a while now , the pitch will be like a Road , very hard , the weather will be very hot , it wont suit big guys ,SPEED will be the order of the Day ,Matty Russell had a good game yesterday , Sam Hopkins aint a Giant , but i cant see Shaun Wane dropping him , can you ?

Thankfully Shaun Wane can't decide on Sam Hopkins and fingers crossed he plays today in Dewsbury!

Looks like we could be losing here 18 v 16 down 5 mins to go

spencer under the sticks comeon leigh 22 - 18

Flippin' 'eck! They caned it in the last 5 mins, didn't they? Had Dewsbury gone off the pitch thinking it had finished?

)

It was a little earlier than 5 minutes left to be fair, the game stopped for a few minutes when Duffy got knocked out.

Good win that - hope Duffy is OK...

He didn't come back on the pitch but he was at least well enough to join the players in applauding the fans after the game.

Not knocking anyones opinion just stating my own, (I am allowed to do so as well,) and saying a fact re the coach, but the problem with having a halfback on loan or dual is that their parent club can play silly beggars like withdrawing him from training with his loan club to stand by then not picking him (ask the player in question what happened this week), also Gallagher didn't play.

The Henderson bit was easy as I read it on the press release on the club website

7 league games unbeaten now....that'll do nicely.

Win our game in hand and we go top!
