Good fitness levels, I maybe mistaken but did duffs do the full 80 mins, sure he did.
Impressed also with Gardner and Gerard. Pownall excellent, got a work horse in Parker and good to see Bibey back. Brierley and ridyard good pairing, all in all I am a lot more optimistic and will be purchasing my season ticket Monday morn

Brierly looks classy i agree, but he looks like a stand off to me. Its clearly his natural position and where he has spent most of his career. Maybe Ridyard would find it easier to switch to Scrum Half, who knows? I thought Ridyard, Brierly and Duffy ALL did well at halfback today which is encouraging to have so many options, especially with playmakers at in McNally and Beswick on the pitch too. We should have plenty of 'flair' this year!

Go on Peanut get in there and get Smick to buy one to.

What number was Gerard I didn't think he played, unless he came on late

Not sure on number but deffo played

Glad breirly is going well for you, great result today, well done leigh.

I thought Broscoe 13. Played well and young hoppy 11 did not see Gerard on

Did you go?
Duffy did not play the full 80 and Gerard didn't play

How many did we take today? When I walked the length of the stand it looked like there were more of us than was in the South Stand.

Didn't hear attendance given out at all

I heard the tool with the mic say "thankyou Leigh fans for taking today so seriously". What a stupid thing to say. Sour grapes me thinks.

There were definitely more in the North stand than in the South - I even have photos to prove it!

Leythers were much louder too, but then the team gave you a lot more to cheer about?!

Has to be expected. Didn't even some of our players' names?! Wasn't the only stupid thing he said either.

However, his performance was not the most disappointning of the day from a Salford point of view?!

You ned to get down to the LSV this year FL, it might be an interesting one.

Funny you should say that Mo, it's not more than 5 minutes since I said to our Maud;
"Looks like I'll be watching more Championship rugby than SL again this year!"

Was really, really impressed with Leigh today and think you've potentially got the makings of an exciting side to watch.

And besides, the Leigh team are more familiar to me than the Salford side at present, what with all the ex-Reds you've got and the new signings we've made!

I have few expectations this year, just want to watch a team playing great RL and we have the playmakers to do that, the depth of props is the question but Bibey fit will be a real bonus.

Bibey's return to fitness is like having a new signing. Parker-Beswick-Bibey is not a bad starting front row, is it?!

Glad to hear Ryan did well,he was completely snubbed by Terry Matterson at Castleford,so he has been chomping at the bit to step up.

It's early doors for Ryan and Leigh,but it could be an exciting season ahead!

Yes Lynda I did go, stood in front of you infact. When you was wondering who was number 11. My mistake regarding gerrard, looked like him but we do have numerous new faces to get used to.

Brierley has always shown touches of class in the games i have seen him, when he develops physically i think he will be ready for SL.

He'll certainly get some physical developememnt under Paul Rowley. Probably why Millward sent him here.

Without burdening him with undue pressure, He looks the business this lad.

You can see why he is assigned to a SL club and snapped up from an early age as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of him in a Leigh shirt this year.

Not very often i agree with Frankie B , but i to think we may have found a replacement for Ellis,in Ryan Brierley , this lad has speed , good hands , confidence , and a touch of Cockyness ( no harm there ),i like this lad , i know its early days , but the signs are very good .

I thought Gardner played well , along with Parker and Bibey ,and im not a fan of McGilvary but i thought he had a decent game , he started last season off well though , and petered out , hope he keeps it up , a good all round perfoemance , but lets see how we develope .

Was told he was originally scholarship at Leigh oops

No 'oops' about it Linda like a lot of other players he had to go elsewhere because we had no player pathway as the RFL wouldn't allow us to run any teams below reserve team level at the time, thats why other teams jnrs are 'full' of Leythers
