I know it’s early, but as the first live match on Premier Sports has seen Fev. have an impressive 30-12 win over York, I thought I’d make a new topic previewing the big match next Monday. All the pundits on the programme were picking Fev. as favourites for promotion. Brian McDermott was his usual charming self. Craig Hall was pure class. If only he was still playing for us!! Although Bussey was man of the match, I thought it should have gone to Jordan Thompson who played heroically for the home side. If only we could have held on to him this season!!
Having said all that, I thought we were clinical against Whitehaven. MacDonald is a monster and I was impressed by the forwards. So I’m quite confident we can turn them over next week. The only thing I’m worried about is the size of our squad. Fev. still have Chisholm and Leilua to start a match this season and have more bodies in than us. What do other fans think?

Who would you have at six, Charlie? Meaning purely on distribution, there are other goal kickers in the team so that needn't be too much of a worry (though the LSV announcer might not be saying "Sponsored by AB Sundecks" as often as preferred in some quarters).

Brierley , Thomson, Thornley, and Bell were our best players last season who have been let go.Never mind, Degsey knows best.

When I think of the quality stand - offs I have seen playing for Leigh during the last 55 years it is clear that Reynolds lacks the skill set to play six or even as a ball playing loose forward. He is a good rugby player and in our best 17, but he is not a half back, too slow, and not big enough for centre or second row. So where could we play him?

Our last game of last season that beat Wakey didn't need too much altering, but no......as usual, the culling began.
