What would most teams be like if their first choice 6 & 7 were injured?

Fucked strength in depth and peaking at the end of the season is more important.

Yup - quality half-backs are rare. Foster and Reynolds seem to be pretty able deputies but things will go up a couple of notches at least when we get to the Middle Eights. Nowt you can do about it, just hope we keep our key men fit.

| Not forgetting Gregg McNally can do a good job at Half back with Johnny Pownall at Full Back if injuries become serious. We've got cover pretty much everywhere which is what we'll need.

| Just watched the match on LCTV and I wish I'd been able to go....
First half was a good test for us (and just what we needed really) with Rovers giving it their all whilst they still had good fitness levels and a home crowd behind them. Saying that, Rovers weren't anything offensively like I'd imagined they'd be. Yeah, Leigh defended well, but Rovers weren't inventive enough - and maybe that comes with all the chopping and changing (DR etc).
Second half the fitness told (something many on here touched on before the match) and Rovers had nothing. They kept at it but the 2 points were ours.
Is that how it is going to be mostly this season then? Full time teams will come out on top most weeks? It looks that way to me, especially with fitness playign a huge part in rugby league.
Anyway, the Leigh lads did what they had to do. Dug deep first half and then let rip second. And their team spirit will also carry them a long way. It's obvious to see.
Some might have criticised Leigh's first half but for me, Leigh were just too eager to get going and made simple errors. Our young side are still learning and that first half will stand them in good stead. We had to defend well and we did. Rovers crossed just once all the match and didn't even look like crossing again, even in that first half, for all their endeavour.
All the Leigh lads played well with stand-out showings from Acton, Armstrong, Goulden, Fui, Wilkes, Haggerty and Penky.

Don't watch Fev normally only went to compare you with Bradford, I don't know what their normal attendances are at Fev but compared to the Bulls it was poor, at a guess I'd say about 3 times as many. With regards to the playing side of things it took you till the second half to dominate them, whereas the Bulls were on top from the start, maybe you'll have to wait till you've been to Odsal to get a true comparison.

Interesting quote Bulls dominated from the start and scored 40 points Centurions took until the second half to dominate the Rovers but still scored same has the Bulls 40 points scary thought for The Bulls that Centurions can play 40 mins and score 36 points and the Bulls can only score 40 points in 80 mins

Spot on about 1700 Fev fans yesterday but about 4000 when they played Bradford.
Second half Leigh v Bulls 30 6
Second half Fev v Leigh 0 36

Except for London, maybe.

I presume you saw enough to reassure yourself that neither Leigh nor Bradford will be troubling your team in the foreseeable future.

Well not at least till the middle eight, two good sides that won't be taken lightly if that's the case.

| You'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge as I get up to date...
Which clubs are actually full-time then at Championship level?
Leigh, Bradford, London ...any others?
