Quote: Saddened! "Can't wait for this game. Are Leigh a myth? It remains to be seen. They've beaten Salford, at their most farcical with Chase and plenty of others missing, but did so with players missing themselves. They have now beaten Wakefield, who are an absolute farce of a club that probably won't exist as a professional club beyond this year. Does that make them a SL level side? Or have they just taken advantage of playing two sides with very serious issues?'"
In their four games prior to playing us, Salford beat Widnes 36-8, won 18-12 at Huddersfield and beat Wigan 24-14 before only losing by 10 points at Leeds. You could almost say their 'crisis' followed the defeat by Leigh rather than the other way round.
I'd like to think we'll have learned from the experience of yesterday. Our part time team of last season mixed it with Leeds for 78 minutes so hopefully with a (very) much improved completion rate we can give a good account of ourselves. Wire will be justifiably favourites, but it should be a cracking game with hopefully close to 3,000 Leigh fans if it's the Saturday or Sunday.
