Difficult to glean too much from tonight's game as the weather was rank and lots of dropped ball from both sides! Agree that Johnson looks very dangerous and could be a big danger when the pitches firm up (where have we heard that before?
). Seeing the team on the field tonight it's frightening to think how big our set of forwards are going to be this season. I'm excited to see how much the young lads come on as a result of having that greater protection. I believe our academy lads plus the likes of Dixon and Ashurst will really step up and if injuries do hit they will do more than a job. I just pray for decent weather against Wire so we can get a better idea of where we're at. I think it'll take us 6-8 games to really hit our straps but if we can grind a few wins out early doors we could go really well.
As for Leigh and the LSV, cracking ground (it was my first visit). Had the misfortune of standing in front of their numpty section but I guess we all have them!
Really hope Leigh go well this season as they seem to have a decent squad and the set-up at the LSV deserves top-flight rugby.
Oh, and to add my two penneth on the "best chippy" debate, I thought Chau's was pretty decent.... I'll pass comment on the other eateries after my next visit!
