| Very impressive result.
Somewhat confused though, how can you field so many overseas players?
If/when you get promoted to SL next season what will team look like? Not many in the squad that could make the step up other than the dozen that need to fit into seven for next year.

| Quote Jack Gaskell="Jack Gaskell"Ok, here's my take on what happened this afternoon. Firstly, and here is where I come across as a bit of a killjoy, I think it is wrong to overlook one or two important factors in the result. So, firstly the caveats before the celebration of the brilliance.
This was not a full strength York team. It was hit by injuries and unavailability. By all accounts they were struggling to put a match day 17 together. It was a bare bones selection bereft of several senior players with considerable SL experience.
Secondly, York are playing badly at the moment. They are clearly a team without confidence. Their recent form has been poor. A much stronger York team on paper lost last week to Bradford, yes, Bradford. If ever there was a worrying sign as to where you are at as a team at present then it is a loss to Bradford.
Thirdly, there are better teams still to play this season. Opponents will be more physical than York and the games will be quicker with much faster and harder defences lining up to kill space and slow the play the ball. Core skills will be much better tested than today. Those will be games where decision making will have to be split second fast and accurate. Today, time on the ball was leisurely. Lets not kid ourselves as to York's limitations.
Despite all this, poor teams, and York were a poor team today, have to be put to the sword. Leigh had not done this all season, until today. Regularly putting 50 or 60 points on opponents in recent weeks has masked the fact that we have not been playing at our very best. Just listen to our coach's post match interviews every week. He has not been satisfied, often assessing dominant performances as no better than 7 out of 10's. So, today, the result and performance has been coming but, boy did it come with a bang.'"

| I actually agree with everything JG said, I just wanted to post that gif.
Lam is all for managing expectations and you wouldn't be much of a professional athlete (or a long suffering Leigh fan) if you took that result as anything other than a fantastic demolition job of a severely depleted opposition.
Past results are not indicative of future results but you can only beat what's in front of you.
And other "fans" questioning our current squad and are seemingly so desperate to know what will be left next year are welcome to read the myriad of other posts on this forum speculating, postulating and ruminating about this very matter, while also simply reading about who has already signed on and who is going to leave/already out on loan.

They've been on the RFL site since 3ish.

| I am aware, it is just the top to results on YT for "Leigh Centurions" are currently the rugby league 4+ minute highlights and second is the double time York account highlights.
I appreciated their gallows humour.

About noon actually, Bart, though that is pedantic - kept looking for it at work as yesterday's game was a blur, no one can really say they remember all the tries after one viewing unless they are are a polymath.
Late in the day, looked to see if Knights TV had yet published the full game. Day off tommorow and, if it is up, it will be watched 2-3 times by this viewer (the hangover from last night's excesses should have passed by then).
Saw the "doppio movimento" highlights and really enjoyed the last try at that speed. Leigh had to get a move on to break the ton barrier but, whilst they would have scored anyway, the Leighstone Cops version is hilarious!

| Sorry to put a dampener on things, but why was there only a paltry crowd of 2,744, down by over 400 from the Barrow game two weeks ago?

| Only just occurred to Bongser that we are now Centurions in two senses! Leigh's tweet with sound of that last gasp try should be pinned! Can't stop watching it. Don't ever want to stop watching it - length of the field through ten pairs of hands with LSV screaming for blood!
Just a perfect day.
