Its been a very disjointed start for Leigh this year as expected with the recent upheaval.

London played superbly well for long periods but when we clicked they just couldn't cope and it was 18 points in 4 minutes. I have to say they look a lot better balanced than last year and i think London should do well this year if they keep that performance up.

Too many injuries so far for us and they are expected to be unavailable for our game against yourselves.

Ridyard, Paterson, Tonga, Armstrong, Kay, Beswick, Barlow, Spencer, McNally & Dixon all missed yesterday.

Looking forward to the trip to Odsal but I think it may be too early in the season for the exciting games of last year.

I'll translate: "I'm getting my excuses in early because we look a miles worse side with Rowley". We spanked you on your own turf without a recognised scrum half or stand off last year - my heart bleeds.

I guess we always look forward to games, I know I do, even though, just like last season there's nothing [ithat much[/i to bother about until the 8's.

I think Leigh went with the wrong halves against London. You had two "off the cuff" players in the halves and I think you needed a General out there. Ridyard injured?

Yes, Ridyard damaged his ribs in the Oldham game I think. Really hoping he is back for next week. Of all our injured players he is the one we will miss the most if he isn't playing.

Looking forward to a good game and a decent crowd.

Hope the weather stays fine.

We seem to have no injury worries apart from Pitts maybe.

Pitts is OK, "nothing serious", according to Jimmy on his after match interview from Widnes.

"It's just a flesh wound".

Now, where have I heard that before?

Forgetting about Clough and Kavanagh which shows how much stronger we are in the pack. Anyone heard anything on Kavangh. Hope it's not season ending as he impressed in pre-season.

on prematch buildup on bcb, Jimmy was asked about Williams and Clough and said they were both progressing but no where near returning. So sounds like their still a few weeks away. Have they actually said what Kavanaghs injury was?

I think if we were at full strength Clough, Kavanagh and Williams would all be in the 17.
Pitts has been rock climbing with the rest of the squad today so I guess he's fine.

ROCK CLIMBING? Ye gods.......Wrapped in cotton wool, one might hope?

We don't publicise injuries at all. I have no idea what's up with Clough, Williams, Crossley, Mendieka, Kavanagh or how long they will be out
