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?

Those are the ones.

Not a chance in hell did you have 1k yesterday, you only brought 4 buses, the post office road end was not even half full 2nd half, 600 tops and I mean tops

It will be interesting, Alan. London should really be making the top four come end of season then.

Leigh will finish top and Bradford second. With a part-time team finding themselves very much in the deep end come the 8's, but also with nothing to lose.

Cmon Gingy ,there was easy 1000 Leythers at yesterday's game , I agree 4 coaches ,but plenty of cars went from Leigh, hope to see you for the return game at the LSV and at Blackpool.

Iv been going to that ground for 40 plus years and im telling you with 100% certainty never in a month of sundays was there 1k. see you in blackpool mines john smiths

Charlie only buys folk halves.

Sure we had over 500 in 'The Last Orders' before the game - must be great having all them Lancashire folk visiting and spending money - unlike 'That Bradfort' lot
