We are on Premier Sports next Sunday but I would ask every supporter of Leigh RL past and present to get to the LSV and give your support to the team.

Don't sit in the pub and criticise from afar, get there in person and do it live!

Not up to speed with what time Premier sports games KO so is it a earlier KO time ?

3pm as normal. Would be interesting if Premier chose that as a regular slot next season!

Well obviously I will be there but am sure kick off is 3pm.

Cheers,
A bonus that as I thought it would be 1pm

Lets hope for a decent crowd, i will do my bit and bring the 3 people i brought for fax game.

Batley are a tough & physical side with some pace out wide IMO Higson needs to play to add speed out wide & tighten up our defence so I'd put AJ at centre & Litter in't back row or AJ on't wing with Maden to centre. It doesn't appear to look like PR will move Iron 'fist' Maden to centre this season & he'll probably leave Littler at centre too but personally I'd go with-

1.McNally
2.Maden
3.Higson
4.Gardner
5.Pownall
6.Riddy
7.Kes
8.Ostick
9.Beswick
10.Hoppy
11.Finnigan
12.Goulden
13.Aspinwall

14. Penky
15.Spencer
16. Littler
17. Bate/Thornley

Is hoppy playing well enough to rate a starting spot? I think his form has dropped since Wigan signed him.

Well I hope I am wrong but Sam Hopkins looked really hurt when he was subbed yesterday.

Like all us Leythers I want to see him in a Leigh shirt three more times this season.

Re our backs and the pace business. Problem is with them shooting out of the defensive line at the wrong time and moving Littler into the pack would not be a good move imo.

If Parker isn't available our 2 best front rowers at the min are Spencer & Ostick IMO so the reason I put Hoppy in the starting 13 was for our bench players to be able to make a big impact coming on.

Charlie will be there , I think the bullfrogs will put up a good show and hopefully we can improve on Sundays game , im going for a score of Leigh 24 v bullfrogs 16 , a close nervy game , but we will be victorious ,Charlie knows

then hope onwards back to Fev , and a better game , different result , and a GF APPEARENCE, hopefully

.

Charlie isn't an Ostick fan , but I thought he was outstanding yesterday , along with Thornley , im hoping we can improve and win a play-offs game for a change .

Personally I think Ostick has got better with every game as for Thornley he's been solid & is a reliable player when called upon he's definately someone we need in our squad. For a foward he's pretty quick too & IMO he could do a good job at centre if needed. I hope Parker's back on Sunday as Batley have some huge players that'll take some stopping & Rob's the man to help stop them dominating in the middle.

Higson would be in the squad for me too Sunday, he can cover a few positions and his defence is excellant and hes quite quick too.

Will he drop Maden for Higson, will he throw in the young winger, will he use penky after 20 indeed will he start him, will rob have a new back installed and will Finnegan be fit
My choice would be
McNally
Higson. Gardner wings
Aspinwall. Littler centres
Riddy and Kes
Spencer beswick. Ostick
Goulden Finnegan
Hopkins

Thornley. Bate. Penky. Duffy

Hope Hopkins is fit, otherwise aspinwall to 13 Gardner to centre and Pownall/Maden to wing

A measure of future attendance figures will be how close the crowd is to 2000 on Sunday.

I'm going to nail my money to the mast and go for Leigh 24 Batley 18.

I cant see 2000 people coming when they can go to a pub and watch for free , sad but I really hope Im so wrong
Only way is to bite the bullet and do a real good offer.IMHO even if it is a split gate.

If we have the bean counters from Fev I'm going for 988....




I though that 2006 wasn't far off to be honest

Ticket prices have already been announced.

Who edited my post?

Can't do it though, if Batley don't agree. According to Andy, we already had an offer on, when we played them in the NRC and the crowd was 1807. (for a televised game)

Which pubs in Leigh have the game on?
