Any results from today ? Don't mean an awful lot but good to know

Saints 16-20 Widnes. Widnes 8-6 up at the break. 2 pretty strong teams out in the first half. Saints switched and changed a lot in the second half, although so did Widnes giving first team debuts to a number of lads and swapping key positions around

Another sin binning for Widnes. Retaliation (ran in to punch)
Saints player was tackled late and what looked to be next was Wilkin punching somebody on the floor. Was expecting ateast a yellow card (both ways) but only Widnes player got one.

Saw the Leeds score. Very weak team but still did the business

Rovers beat Hull 28-22 after Hull had been 22-6 in front. It was a good game as far as friendlies go.

Leigh 18, Wigan 14. About 5 or 6 first teamers missing from both sides.

Batley 26 Featherstone 6

Barrow 42 Whitehaven 4

Mmmmmmm, not strictly true Nozzy, I'd say Leigh started with just about a ' full ' team, similar to Wigan, ( maybe 3-4 ,who could be considered fringe ) , and leigh built an 8 point lead at HT

Second half Wigan put a few more juniors in, but strangely started to play better, Leigh struggled with ball retention for 25 minutes allowing the Wigan kids to retake the lead, last 15 Leigh upped the concentration despite intruducing a few fringe of their own and scored the winner

Not confirmed but apparently Wigan had 14 on the pich for 10 minutes or so second half

Reports from the Hulls tend to confirm my analysis that Kenneth Sio was a very good buy, and that Albert Kelly, if he can remain fit, will light up Super League.

Did you watch them?

NOPE , so you havent a clue about any of it

An experimental Cas beat a a decent Donny outfit 32-12 in cold conditions at the keepmoat

Is he wrong though?

Tbf they were they were the stand outs for KR. They weren't in the game at all and then Kelly made a break slipping out of a few tackles, they shipped it wide and scored and the game changed on its head, with Kelly and Sio being involved in pretty much everything from then on.

Campese was anonymous though.

Do you know the meaning of the word "reports."

I never said that I was there. I stated that I was basing my judgment on reports. Practice your English comprehension before you write silly comments like the one above.

As others who were there have confirmed on this thread, the reports that I received are accurate. Kelly and Sio were outstanding. But never mind that, because you just don't have a clue.

Dons 12 Cas 32 - Both teams looked about half and half starters and fringe players.

Awful game to be frank

Happy with how Leigh look, missing Platt, Spencer, Ridyard, Sarsfield and Haggerty I felt Wigan would hurt us on the fringe but our centres are very special. Reynolds had a great game, as did the fringe players Tracey, Foster and Peet

I didn't think it would have been that close tbh , but give wiggin their due they put up a plucky performance and must have sniffed an upset when they saw Leigh's weakened squad.
