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?'"
CL , I think next week will be a great game , I’m not sure about Chisholm and Leilua if they both play , could be to our advantage , mr personality McDermott has already said Kopzjack and Sene will be missing , I’m never convinced about Hall , I think we can beat Fev , but our defence will have to improve .
Haven scored their try against us with 10 men on the pitch , yeah we looked good in attack , our pack is a monster , and I love Nene ,and Aekins , hopefully get Wardle and Hitchcox back , it’s early days yet , even if we lose .
I’m going for a Leigh win though .

How many penalties did he concede? That’s something he needs to work on. Fortunately that’s not Leigh’s problem.

My brother in law used to Coach ,James McDonnell at St Judes ,he says the lad is a very good prospect , and I’ve always liked Dan Norman ,when he played for Widnes , he is a very big mobile forward .

| Bongser does not have Premier either and so is yet to see anything of the Fev match and therefore anything below is merely a summary of the author's musings.
Voiced a bad feeling about tonight whilst at work today - and, for once, that foreboding was correct. Charlie posted (on an unrelated thread) that the pitch and conditions were poor. Surprise, surprise! (as Cilla Black posted on an unrelated thread). Many of the imports (and they are several) will not have experienced the like before, but the Summer and the greensward carpet at LSV await. Very different!
Well done to Fev this time round.
Bongser refers readers to an LCTV interview with Lam on the day of his announcement wherein DB states that he does not expect a new squad to wholly gel at first.
Early doors. Bongser will be there for the Bulls game.

Bongser , I’m not to upset at the result , I know the pitch was the same for both teams , but home advantage is exactly what that means , we had 11 men at one stage , and in the second half played well , we just couldn’t handle the wet conditions .
Things will change , bring in a couple more players , Reynolds isn’t working at 6 , Dixon had a nightmare game , but sometimes that happens , I’m not blaming him , for me Mellor played well , Hingano did when he came on , and Nene McDonald was a monster again , I thought Aekins was a bit nervous under the high ball , but again the conditions didn’t help , everyone tried , I’m upbeat , a win next week and we are back on track , get Sidlow back , Ipape playing , and hopefully sign Gelling , and it’s happy days , don’t worry Bongser, I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear .

| 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).

| 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.
