Sounded like a hell of a performance, it was an important game and the lads really delivered. Great coverage on Leigh Life Radio and I can't wait to see it on LCTV, sounded like we scored some sensational tries.

Well done Leythers

2100 lucky people today

Outstanding from 1 to 17

Even better Dewsbury beat Fev yikes,,,,,

Dewsbury are a top 4 side this year IMO. Great result for them, and it won't do us any harm either

Several of those try's today where right outa the top drawer best I've seen for years Brilliant Centurions keep it up lads

Enjoyed the radio commentary. Come on Freddie, get the game up on LCTV

We also beat em 20 nil early on last season.
Batley will bounce back when it matters

Difference is that we looked stronger and faster than Batley today. It was an excellent showing, after we got the early errors out of our showing the result was never in doubt.

Looking good but Batley will bounce back tey have next best coach after us !!!!

What a brilliant performance today a big well done to the lads for producing such a great result

What was so evident today was we played as a team which I don't think we saw as much in the friendlies but now when it does really matter the lads produced the goods superbly


Well done to the fans turning up in numbers & playing their part too

Top of the League
Biggest Championship attendance
Brierley tops the try scoring chart.

(Now lets keep it like that.)

Its no good playing to peak in the playoffs this season. What matters is finishing 1st or 2nd. The likes of moaning minny aston are going to have to approach the season differently. Yes its nice to win the silverware but half a million quid will be nicer.

Yes you are right Demon

I was pointing out that Batley are still agood team and we should not write them off .
We can't treat anyone lightly , results today show that !

I agree re Aston

I won't lie I have been a critic of Rowley's at times and I expected to lose today, however that was nothing short of outstanding. Not just that, but Leigh played some real exciting football. Now to keep it up for the next 25 rounds!

Lynda , I don't think PR will treat anyone lightly , we scored some very good tries today against a decent team , it can get better though , when the drier ground starts , Ryan could have had a couple more tires today but was unlucky the ball went to ground , when we open up we showed what can b done , I think the rest of the League will sit up at this result , be interesting to hear what JK has to say .

Well I thought we were a little rusty. That is not meant as a criticism as we scored some belting tries, the like that has not been seen since the Terzis era. The lads bombed a few chances, but come April time we will be more fluid and the passes will stick. We could and will put 70+ points on teams like that this season. When you consider the strength in depth we have in the squad, it all bodes well for the season.

Well...................that was very impressive





I always fancied us to win but in a really tight affair and possibly a bonus point to the Dogs. But after a slow start and going behind it was virtually exhibition stuff. When was the last time a Leigh side ran in so many long range tries? And not against poor opposition - the Dogs will still be there or thereabouts come crunch time.

One minor gripe, both tries conceded (2nd one particularly) very soft.

Another minor gripe, didn't agree with MOM - Riddy played well enough but there were others more worthy (e.g. I thought Higgy was sensational on the wing).

The future's bright, the future's Leyth!!!!!

The moves that Rowls has got the lads doing we're class & very entertaining

Thought we where excellent today. We where very expansive at times and it came off. A couple of times it could have cost us if it went wrong but it didn't. Nice to see a side prepared to play positively in any area of the pitch. Batley are a side who are always strong, never spectacular. To score 50 against them was unbelievable. We left some rally good players out of the 17 today too so the competition for places is there also. Absolutely magnificent

Biggest positive this year is the quality of the guys who didn't make the 17.

You could pick up an injury or two in any position and still have class players step into the fold.

Not only that we will have competition for places and should be able to rest one or two players each week without detriment to the team.

I'm not naive enough to get too excited but I do believe that the future is bright.

Some top drawer tries this afternoon. Don't think we ever got past about 80% of our best as well...I fear for the opposition when the combinations click a bit better and we hit a team full pelt!

My word what a game Ryan Duffy had, certainly showed he's in the team on merit.

As others have said some great tries scored today, and a real good team effort, but without seeming to hit top gear, there's lots more to come from this team. think the Armstrong Brown Partnership will become a delight to watch as the season progresses.

A team scoring 50 odd points it hard not to pick your main playmaker as MOM and most put in good stints, Kez is always worth a mention, Duffy looks fitter, Spencer just loves the game, but my MOM was Sarsfield worked very hard all afternoon.

Glad to see the attendance above 2k and it seemed noticeable that more kids were present, all in all early days but heading in the right direction......Well done to all concerned.

Matt, Ryan was right up there for MOM IMO. Talking about PR, you should have seen the look on his face at half time going down the tunnel. It looked like someone was going to get it in the changing room. There was loads of positives from today. The tries we sored would have graced any international or grand final. But. That wasn't a very good Batley side.
I know it's very early but some of our passing from the play the ball was tripe and slow. Batley were there for the taking out wide. In the friendlies we showed that we can be fast at this and when we do it in this league god help the opposition. Those lads out there have the potential to put 100 points past some teams. Next week I would love us to be hungry in defence when we have Barrow in their own 20. Prediction for next week, Barrow 10 - Leigh 44. I can only see Sheff, Fax and Fev getting anywhere near those boys. Very happy Leyther tonight.
