Well Batley away is in the past, looking forward to our fist home game of the season. Be interesting to see how Smith does & how he compares to Gregg. I'd play Ridy & Rangi at half backs, no doubt about Ryan's quality but I don't think we should try shoehorning players into the team out of position & should instead let the 3 half backs compete for the 2 places. Hopefully Hock will be back and will add even more to our forwards who were very strong against Batley. No disrespect to Oldham but I'd like to see us go all out for this game, play as well as we can both in attack & especially in defence for the full 80 min, it's only by doing that every week against all the Championship teams that we stand a chance of doing it against the SL teams where it's essential to win.

LS for me Ryan is our most potent weapon on the field look at his ratio of tries to apps,I would never drop the lad,as for shoehorn in somebody has to miss out unfortunately who I don't know,with Hock ,Smith, maybe Beswick and Patterson if they play 4 will not play, add to this Jonny Pownall, we all have our own ideas on the 17 lucky ones.I would think Jukes has spoke to every player this week and told him to earn his place.I can't wait for Sunday ,looking forward even more to the drier weather.Cmon you Leythers.

A good win for you I would think, it will be interesting to see what your crowd is, there already seems some discontent.

John there is no real discontent, well not what will affect the gate on Sunday, I think it will all be forgotten around 4.45 pm on Sunday night.Charlie knows.

That's good Ian, i will probably get strung up for it on our forum, but, this League needs a strong Leigh.
In my humble opinion.

John , as I know you, I know you are genuine in your statement about us, as I also you like Big Sam and have defended him on the Fax Forum when some fans have has a go at him, I think we both realise how this League needs a strong Leigh and Fax, I'm sure a lot of other fans feel the same way.

Leigh 58 Oldham 2

*daft penalty will cost us dearly*

Well I hope no one is expecting any plaudits and congratulations from anyone outside of Leigh if we do pile up the points. However expect abuse if we only win by 10 points. I am getting extremely bored with this board now. The other day I glanced at who was browsing the board and of the named posters there were twice as many from other clubs as Leythers, and half of the ones from other clubs are just plain nasty usually.

Mr Demon the trouble with Leighers is they are always in denial,whenever something is posted they don't want to read it's blatantly ignored , or your Propaganda Minister,aka Tipster Ste arrives and in his words of Wisdom puts any statements down, his Master King Degsy might not like.
Have a word with yourselves smell the Coffee, you are right about beating Oldham though if you don't rack up 50 points folk will not be generous in Praise.

At least you managed to stay on thread

Dick Jagger glad your writing in English .Now I can read your words of wisdom

Looking forward to finally having a local team visit the LSV, this will be the third biggest home game of the season! I see a comfortable victory for us leythers, I think last week was just the John Kear factor

1. Smith
2 Kay
3 Armstrong
4 worthington
5 Higson
6 ridy
7 chase
8 Weston
9 higham
10 spencer
11 hock
12 Hansen
13 Patterson

14 emmit
15 Hopkins
16 Dixon
17 Matuia

Higson went off last week at Batley, I don't know if he was injured,myself I would play Ryan at 7, Rangi in his natural 6,put Spencer on the bench, move Hock up to front row,and leave emmit out.Jobs a good un.


,

cant understand why people keep leaving Brierley out and some don't even have him in the subs.So we just ignore a 30 odd ,was it ? try scorer from last season

I think some folk have forgotten what a great player Ryan is. Like Mr Caroli says Ryan would be in my starting 17 every game if he was fit.

Oh and like the previous poster has said.

Smith pownall worhthington Armstrong Kay Ridyard chase Weston higham hock Dixon Hansen Patterson subs moi moi Hopkins spencer brierley. For all the hard work emmit does he has no impact never makes any breaks and is weak in defence, I've got Ryan on the bench as cover! I'd like higham to do 80 mins the drop off was noticeable last week when he went off

We did drop off when Micky left the pitch. However, he was shattered. If we keep leaving him on for 70-80 minutes, I reckon his season will be over by April. If Beswick is fit, we have to use him, in my opinion.

1. Smith

14 Beswick/Foster
15 Hopkins
16 Dixon
17 FFMM/Emmitt

Emmitt will give us 80 minutes week in week out,but that as far as I can is it.He does not make many breaks and as someone has stated is defence is not the best

How much longer does he need to give us?



Emmitt is a work horse no glamour just a straight forward hard working no nonsense prop, you get what it says on the tin week in week out, the type of player every team needs, the glamour players are great but sometimes they can blow cold as well as hot.

What's up with Willie Tonga is he injured.

Ashton Sims summed Jake up last season rather well.

Had an op. Out for another 4 wks I think
