I hate to say this but if the weather stays the same we may come unstuck at the hands of the leythers tonight,we are not suited to wet conditions..

looking for excuses and the games not even kicked off? you must be a man utd fans also LOL

The pitch as always will be in fantastic condition.

Im on the way back from norfolk,just been told its been raining solid for 2 days in Leigh, is the game on

Here's hoping for much the same on Thursday 5th July then

- may come early and bring Frank to do his 'rain dance' routine - I am reliably informed that he is a direct descendant of American Native Indian's who settled in Leigh after they won at Little Big Horn - his 'Mountain Spirit Dance' works every time - well it has today

Predicting a Leigh 7 point win!

Granada Reports tweet:

Environment agy say flooding is poss for parts of #Leigh, #Tyldsley, #Hindley, #Westhoughton, #Atherton, #Worsley, #Walkden

Looks like the coin toss is gonna be crucial then......to see who's gonna be defending the shallow end in the 2nd half!!!





And another reason to get there early......as, when it rains, the stands tend to fill up from the back!!

Was going to catch train 2 Atherton but not possible as trains are not stopping there due to flooding.



Will therefore be on the bus in 10 minutes.

I hope no one has filled mine and our Olivers reserved seat. Don't forget it is a league game and your reserved seating is in place.

Good call!!



Haven't 'pulled rank' yet - but [i"Needs, must,etc....."[/i!!

more than happy to be proved wrong tonight

wash yer mouth out

Leeds Leeds Leeds

Considering our performance, quite pleased to lose by only 6 points.
Well played Fev.
Cushler, I'm depressed, we were 2nd best for for 'most' of the game, and you guys NEVER win at Leigh !!!!

One good think Crush Leigh will not play that bad again and to think you only beat us by a few points
Roll on the semi

Well Budgie old mate the thing is our teams are so closely matched and you could still come to POR and turn us over in the thomas the tank cup.

I was at work so listened on Leigh life (great commentary by the way) but dont let the guy called Derek give any motivational speeches to the team.

The guy on leigh life, Derek I think is name was had thrown the Leigh towel in at the start of the second half LOL the other guy kept having to try and soak up his negativity.

Well played Leigh



and dont forget the saying "every dog has its day" I am sure you will have yours.

Yep fair comment detroit im sure it will be a belter at POR mate.

Its difficult to get a proper feel with a radio comment but it sounded like an arm wrestle at times mate

You`ve changed your original heading.

Cheers mate, we never gave up, but our 'kicking game' was awful, predictable play, looked flat, and our usual 'rampaging' big backs gardner, littler, maden were kept quiet by their counterparts. Fev played quite expansive rugby at times, but we didn't, and if we tried it, we didn't make much headway. Folk will say "we couldn't play much worse" but the Fev defence was very hard to break down, even when we weren't making errors.

You are correct

Think your bang on there budgie our defence is something that gets us out of jail quite a bit. Right back to the CC when we beat Cas it was obvious we had been working on our defense and it looks like we have built on that since.Obviously my theory is shot to pieces in Halifax n Sheff





I honestly thought you were gonna come back and at least nick the draw mate. I think we knew it would be close and I don't see that changing through the rest of the season to be honest. Thats why for me they can keep SL the championship is where its at.

Yes, full credit to Featherstone's defence. They are well organised, and looked good when they moved the ball wide. Finn seemed to have all the time in the world with his kicking game, by lying deep. Ridyard on the other hand was put under pressure all the time, especially when we were lying flat.

Ironically, the eventual difference was down to that howler of Kevin Henderson, when Maden passed to him just after Brierley's try, and he wasn't looking! Result, a try to Rovers!

Still, no complaints about the result, for me the better team won.

Alan don't you get the feeling there will be plenty more twists and turns in this season shaping up nicely

Best team on the night won.

No complaints.

Your right Frank.
