think you need to sign some more players

Yesterday's result does not matter - though I would rather have won - but I was concerned that we were out-enthused and some of our forwards who are likely to be in the starting seventeen were driven back regularly in the tackle.

Wayne Godwin showed a lot of promise during his time on the pitch and Chris Nero showed a couple of nice touches.

The younger players showed a good deal of effort , particularly on defence, but in truth we were second best on the day.

If Leo-Latu isn't coming, and we are to sign anyone, then I would love to see another big prop to give us that go-forward, or a quality scrum half to work with Daniel Holdsworth.

Apparently they were high sixes and street parties in leigh last night and today they have declared a national holiday in the township, which is basically a council estate in Wigan.

which is better than a slum in manchester

You mean because it isn't already a holiday everywhere else today?



Game changed when Godwin went off, hope it's just a bump as it was one hell of a collision with Hilly.

I think we can be forgiven for celebrating yesterday's win as regardless of you being without all of your foreigners bar Nero (shouldn't rely so much on overseas players, I say

), the majority of your side have got squad numbers this season which, in my book at least, makes them first team players. And that's not to mention we were missing Paul and Govin, had a trialist in Mills and two kids who have only just come from our reserves in Pownall and Nicholson. You can even take it as a back-handed compliment that Salford are considered one of the 'big boys' who we rarely get a shot at.

I wouldn't be worried Fungus but I would be mightly pi**ed off if i'd wasted fourteen quid for that training exercise.

Can't wait for those immortal words " we've been training the house down"

Sums it up pretty well.

Pressure is on already... yes it was a friendly with first team players missing granted however you look at the teamsheet and alot those players will be in or around the 17 next season. Remember it is also Leighs first game and they were rotating their side too. By comparison, I think a fellow SL side with 8 or 9 starting players in their side would still have beat Leigh today.

Get a bit of a belting off Wigan and lose the opening 2/3 games in SL and there will be some discontent thats for sure. The main issue will be the strength in depth people have already eluded to. Matt Smith should be nowhere near the No.7 shirt, he should be a rotating 9 with Godwin, he is not good enough to be a SL No.7 and having two good games a season does not change that (one wasn't even for us)

Fixed.

Great night in Leigh ,some of you Mancs sawwhat a decent Stadiumlooks like ,you were terrible today ,we beat a bad team ,and had a few young uns playing , you will always be in the Shadows of UTD it must be cold.

Obviously your extra fingers have missed the space bar, dont know how.
You can clearly see from that jibberish the effect inbreeding has had on the children of Leigh.

Really disappointed with the props yesterday. This was a chance for one or two to really make a mark and earn a regular place alongside Cashmere and Feka within the rotation. None of them impressed, and a couple of them need to step up this year unless they want a future playing National League rugby.
