Not enough backs in the squad to leave Hutchison out!

Dagger
Bailey
Dawson
Owens
Bergal
Reynolds
Mortimer
Walne
Hood
Walne
Gregson
Larroyer
Blagbrough

Higham
Bailey
Richards
Mason

Maybe Dagger to centre, Owens to FB. Only way Hutchison gets in for me is if Higham is not available, or he plays 13 and Larroyer plays centre.

Half time score Hull 0-Leigh explayers 16!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing how the team performs on Sunday.

Ok, so we've lost some 'star' names, this past week, and we will miss some of them (HH comes readily to mind)

Yet, I have to admit to being surprised at the way SL teams (however desperate they are) have swarmed around, competing to sign what have proved to be fairly average Championship players, this season. As I've said, Hansen has been class, Hall has shown touches of class at times, as has Mata'utia (when he's not been suspended) but the rest of them have tended to be 'grafters'. How many line breaks have come from our much vaunted back row, how many tackles have been missed, by our 'star' players, and how many times have we dropped the ball. None of these failings have been the hallmarks of 'star' players - especially those from SL and the NRL!

Give me a team of players, who try to the limit of their ability, and I'll be happy. Here's hoping that's what we witness on Sunday.

Craig Hall MOM tonight first thing he said in his interview after the match was to thank everyone at Leigh for the season and wish them the best which I thought was a nice touch

Hall was nowhere near MOM, he scored two tries, one a kick and chase. That was it, he didn’t see the ball in the second half. There were players on both sides who gave much better performances.

Tickle for me. Credit to Hall for his comments. Good lad.

Agree with this. Yes, there were issues from the coach, but this group of players has let the club down also, yet when their performances get a club in trouble people start talking about their welfare!

Lots of people talking about how great Craig Hall is now, after his Hull KR debut, but think back to after Halifax away, people would've carried him to Hull on their backs if an offer had come in. Same can be said for Ben Crooks and Bodene Thompson.

Also, Jordan Thompson has seemed to fade, as the season has gone on - like I say, he's been a 'grafter' and all teams need a couple of them, but a lot of our team seemed to fit that description.

Also with Mata'utia, he has shown class, but has anybody else noticed, how he has 'retired' to the wing, after about 60 minutes in most games? He'll need to display better staying power in SL, where the intensity tends to be much greater.

Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed watching some of these guys play, but have tended to be disappointed with the overall efforts of some of our (probably) better paid players.

Alan, it was a very poor under performing team. A New Zealand warrior here for the wage, I bet he punches above his weight at Wire now as the others will do. That for me was down to the coaching staff to sort,all should be held responsible for situation they find themselves in now.

Cunningham,Purtill and Anderson have all failed, they should follow the same path as DB. Thats business not sport.

After watching Craig Hall for a lot of his career he’s one of those players who has an outstanding game and you think we’ve got some player here and then the next game you wonder how he’s managed to get in team he’s that bad

Frankie, Hall would make one of the best stand offs going. He is as level headed as Woody was at Leigh and thats something coming from a leyther. He has speed and a RL brain,wing fb was never his position.

No one has ever come near to woody since woody.

How can you possibly say Purtill has failed???. Agreed he lost his first two matches but what a state the team was in at that stage. After that only two more league defeats ( both to Toronto), victories over Fev, London (three times) and Toulouse, all away, the only Championship team to have beaten a super league team so far this season, the only one to reach the quarter-final of the Challenge Cup and the vast majority of these games played away.

That's a pretty good record in my opinion.

I look forward , hopefully, to KP being given a full season to show what he can do with a team of his own choosing. Then and only then should he be judged.

Well putting Hall in the same breath as Woody is laughable at best - yes he's fast and may have a RL brain but for natural ability nowhere even on the same planet - and he's gone through a few clubs who seem to feel the same

He a very good wing/decent centre at best

Good evening Brian. Actually, I think he only lost his first game - at Halifax?

I too would be pleased if he gets the job next season - it makes a refreshing change to have a half back coaching us, rather than the usual front row forwards, who aren't always known for their subtlety!

Also, I hope he gets the say in who we sign.

I understand that it has been a long few days for all Leigh supporters, but you need to go for a lie down.

Hey, what do I know,with all these experts on here..

No more than the rest of us, all about opinions - but that ones b0££0cks

Woody doesn't think so, he told me so..

Well it was nigh on certain we wouldn't make the middle 8s, I've been saying it for a few weeks now, but I'm still feeling deflated,no disrespect to the others in the bottom 8 of the Championship, but we are now down amongst the dead men, though we deserve to be there.It's still a sad day.
I've watched Leigh for 55 years now Clown and boy Jack Harding, the Blackpool Mafia, to Derek B,hopefully we have now seen the last of Derek,he's left us twice now, and who is in charge now?Is Ste Opey still with us?Who is with KP on the Coaching front?I will be there tomorrow and as long as I can make it through the Turnstiles, I'm predicting a win tomorrow and hopefully a New Owner or Owners very soon.

Charlie, you have predicted a Bronco's loss, as have I. The weather forecast levels the park. I'm quite worried now as the fat lady hasn't sang yet.

If the a miracle happens we could do with her in the front row as long she's not serving a ban also.

Was that thunder this afternoon or the sound of said rotunda warming up?
