When I say 'pressure' I'm referring to things such as your Club wanting to test itself against SL opposition. On your own patch. They'll feel the need to perform in front of the cameras with the rest of the RL public certainly tuning in more to see if Leigh are up to competing and cause an upset than anything else. Most of RL are quite happy to see Salford fall at any point, mostly because we have a gobby Chairman, so we're used to derision and not really being the focus of this encounter.
I think your forwards will need to be top notch on Saturday. Not because of our forwards particularly, more for the fact that if your line's broken Salford have serious pace in broken play. Evalds, BJB, Johnson, Caton-Brown, Locke, and even Fages are among some of the fastest guys in the game. You defend well you give yourself a much better chance of challenging.
I'm a little disappointed that you have key players missing, we do too, but it would have been nice to see Moi-Moi versus Tasi. Almost like Master and apprentice.
Aye, and good luck to you too!
That's a friendly and sporting post that, mate.
Our defence has been very, very good, but, as everyone knows, we're in the Championship, so...
I reckon the initial biggest factor will be the mental side of the game. Experience versus inexperience. SL versus Champ. Etc etc. Whoever starts the better will give themselves a massive lift in this one.
But like I said earlier, if we can stay in the match, I'll be happy - because there is definitely a strong belief and excellent team spirit amongst the Leigh lads. And sometimes that is invaluable, especially in a knock-out competition.

One can but try, I was gutted when he left as I felt he was the one player that moved us round the field and rarely had a bad game.

| Thanks for your opinions TC&W and reffy - it's obviously just me who disagrees (and Brian Carney, Terry McDermott and Rod Studd!).
