Suspect it will be same again, don't see any changes being made and perhaps like last match Field will do 50-60 mins. We will need to make a better start and not start playing in just the second half.

Still reckon if we'd scored in the second minute with Marshall passing instead of going himself we'd have put 50 past them.
Made a massive difference did that.
As soon as we scored in the second half their heads went down. After Wardle's try the result was never in doubt.

Same team as v Hoods but with Hampshire given a field kicking role to take the pressure off Harry. Also present Leigh with something they won't expect.

I can see some prop rotation and perhaps Douglas for Miski, the rest will be the same.

Strongest possible team for Tuesday, changes to come v Leeds.
Suprised if we change anything, bar one prop rotating in - likely Byrne.

Can’t see field playing. Eckersley back to FB for this one.
Smith has got to pass some of the workload and kicking onto to Hampshire or Farrimond. We’ve been playing with effectively one HB since the London game.
I think Leyth will be really up for this and we may not have enough in the tank. Hope I’m wrong.

I think we will rotate some of the pack and we will be the fresher side. Leigh have a smaller squad and will find it tougher to back up than we will.

Does anyone know how the disciplinary works this week for us and Leigh ?
Will any potential bans include Tuesday or would they only kick in next weekend ?

I think the only change Peet could make that may make a positive difference is to move Keighran to 6. That might not work either, at least not straight away.

Farrimond isn't ready yet and would be vulnerable against a good Leigh attack, not sure it's the game for Douglas as Miski was a little better last week and sadly all of our props bar Thompson and Havard are much of a muchness at the moment.

They'll attack the right edge all night long - we can be sure of that.

They’ll only apply to the weekends games

Tom Amone not named for Leigh by the looks of things. That case has been so strange. I know Leigh are never a club to tow the line but being forced to stand a player down after a head knock, when your intention was to play them, is pretty staggering in the modern game.

Amone is a big loss for Leigh, think he’s the best prop in the league.

Leigh will be going all out for a win tomorrow, big away following, pushing for the playoffs and wanting to get the Wigan hoodoo off their back.

They played well last time out at the DW.

This could be a cracker. Leigh getting 8 start on the handicap feels like too much given our form.

Yeah, I'd say Amone is comfortably clear as the best prop in the league. They've got some work to do next year to replace the likes of him, Asiata, O'Donnell and Lam (if he goes). I saw something recently that said Leigh aren't guaranteed of a spot in Superleague next year and you do have to wonder if that's making Beaumont hold back on replacements for now.

In the short term, they'll be massively up for tomorrow and we need to match that. We did last time but we look to have lost some confidence since that last meeting, as well as French and O'Neill, so it won't be easy. I'm also surprised with that 8 points and would've thought they'd go with only 2-4 points.

We need a strong start and score first for a change to then lay a platform for the rest of the game. Over the last four games we have failed to put the first score on the board.

we did exactly the same the week before with Keighran

Really looking forward to this one, its not often you can watch live SL on a Tuesday night. I'm hoping that Moylan plays as you want the best players playing to make it a better game. Even a Wigan win wouldn't be the worst for us now that we are scraping around in the 4th-6th positions



NB I haven't been missing because we have been losing, I've only just come back from holiday.



PS Zig- I sent you a PM but its showing in my outbox for some reason still? Can you please check

Replied Stu.

Field not playing, four forwards on the bench again, would rather Farrimond had got a spot to change things up if necessary, looks like Farrell will be spelling Leeming

Really don't like four forwards on the bench. And even the 18th man a forward, when it's usually a back!

Leigh have the edge here I think - cant see our attack matching up to theirs. But I still hope to see us make it tough for them by keeping it solid with a low error and penalty count. We need to start building discipline into our performances over the last couple of months in the same way we did last year - hopefully French and Field can add the sparkle at the back end.

Did not expect 22-0 half time lead!!

Definitely not - back to form in that first half. Moylan clearly isn't fit.

Why anybody expected Leigh to beat us tonight was beyond me. We have a bigger squad to choose from with superior players so the short turnaround was heavily in our favour.

I keep seeing people saying the fixture list means we wont finish top but we have the best squad in the league and I think we will finish top comfortably but in a 1 off game in the playoffs/Grand final I am less confident and wouldn't be shocked if we didn't go back to back

I think our forwards showed up really well for the most part. They laid the platform for us. Leeming had a great game and deserved MOTM but everyone worked hard.

Happy with the 2 points as you felt Leigh were in good form heading into tonight's game but they didn't quite produce, especially first half.

Top of the league again for now. It'll be interesting to see how we pull up from that game and the squad selection for Leeds on Saturday.

Got to be satisfied with the win, scoreline and, for the most part, the performance.
Leeming had a commanding and well paced game, so we saw a bit more quality from Smith.

Nsemba on the left might be the way to go for the rest of the season now. Farrell has owned that side for years but is a fading force in attack and I’m happy for him to be a more defensive second rower on the right. Pleased for Leeming who will be better when we get another hooker to dovetail with. First half was just more like us in defence and get through Saturday with one more big effort and we can hopefully catch a breather for a few days after it.
