Greetings Leythers.............. My favourite short away trip on the V1 Bus has come round again. Normally it is a quick pint in the Centurion and into the ground.

Quick question, we have some young fans with us this time, is there a decent place to go for a pre match drink noting the Centurion is small. I used to go into the Water Side but this is gone. Any suggestions greatly appreciated Leythers.

I believe quite a few Salford Fans went into Oscars (formally spinning Jenny ) just by the bus station a few weeks back

Leigh East clubhouse is excellent and next to the LSV.

Whats happened to Smith,we need him badly around the ruck area

I’m really interested to see how we line up at 1, 6, 7, 9, and how we strengthen the right side defence. If Joe Mellor is fit, I’d play Ben Reynolds at centre inside Tom Briscoe. Imagine Zak having Lachy, Joe, Asiata and Ben R to run off. Also Reynolds has the best defence of any halfback, that he can easily transfer to a centre spot. Keeps his kicking on the field also.
Regardless, I trust in whoever Lammy and Co put out there.
We win this game and the next 3.

As much as I’ve spoken about Reynolds and not massively rating him as a 6 in this league , I think he would make a decent 13 if Asiata is ever missing or needed in second row.
Tackling is 2nd to none and got good hands. As with Lam , I feel you need a bit of magic about you in the halves and not be predictable. Steady away is good when things are going well but won’t get you out of jail in close games.

Thanks will give it a go.

Don’t think Reynolds has ever played , and now is not the time to find out the reason why that is - be very surprised if chamberlain doesn’t there. And no point having him on for his kicking if we don’t score the tries, so Mellor at 6 for me, we were very one dimensional gains Wigan because everything went through Lam

I hate to single out and criticize any of our players, but post game, Chamberlain is not/was not, the answer at centre.

Own worst enemy there. Summed up by us throwing it about and losing it after the ref had very generously decided to give us a penalty and wave 6 again.

Salford did what they do, score in quick succession and take the game away from us and we could never get back.

I like Reynolds, he has got better but if he can't convert from the touchlines then unless Mellor is not fit, why play him instead? Again that was summed up as he was about to take his penultimate conversion attempt and Inu ran past...if only.

Holmes is yet to impress, though I think he had a better second half. The whole team did.

And Josh proved not only is he as fast and strong as ever but his rugby brain is kicking on too.

We need to recruit well in the next window.

Still, O'Brien back next week a more settled team and hopefully we will turn over Wakefield.

Some real dumb rugby there, both in attack and defence

Holmes’s does a job for me, 80 mins today believe - if your going to single anybody out go for Hughes, just throwing money down the drain with him

Mellor gotta be given a chance if fit, and Smith (remember him) is a good foil for ipape who finally showed in offence what he’s capable of but can’t do 70 mins like that week in week out

Should have won that, with pretty much 14 men - O’Brien will be a massive plus if fit, Hardaker played well today but doesn’t give that option in attack

I've said it before as have others, the problem is the small squad with no quality in depth. More quality signings needed if any come up. Looking on the bright side, Wakey, Hull and Cas are struggling. With our best 17 we are very capable of winning the next 3 games. Are Wardle and Mellor out injured?

Wardle yes (ask VL for an update), dunno about Mellor.

Yes, we should (should) beat Wakey but then it's another 5 day turnaround before Leeds. We all saw how Leigh faded later on against Wigan the last time.

Today Leigh ran out of time against an increasingly jaded Salford side after their shorter turnaround.

Keep the faith we are not far off need to play with more smarts think Mellor next to Lam will help. Poss need to loan a prop if Ben out for a few weeks and or a second row as missing Wardle. Need Zac in centre. As chances missed on the right. Hopefully O’Brien back for Wakefield saw him at game and he looked fine. Wakey a must win.
