Be interesting to see what the attendance will be. Only been to odd games for the last few years, but there is a genuine interest in the outcome of this season. A good result to kick start the season could be vital in ensuring the likes of myself (bringing son and grandson) attend more than not this season.
As a matter of interest is the 5 ticket option still on offer??

Good.

I do not know about the 5 ticket option but I am ringing the ticket office 2morro so will ask.

This is the best Leigh squad for 30 years as you will see next Sunday.

One thing is for sure. Batley will be out to show that they are contenders this season, so will be no push overs, but.....
This big mobile pack we have will take on any pack and always have us on the front foot. That will give our half backs the space and time that will give our much improved back line some quality ball. I can't wait to see Riddy, Kes, Kay etc getting the ball from a quick play the ball after a rollicking run from one of our pack.
My head says give it time and don't get carried away,
My Leyther heart however is crying from the roof tops,
"Bring em' all on cause this year we're taking no prisoners "
38-18 and 2485 (though I hope it's even more)
I can't be on the terraces but my name is right on the back of the shirt with my Dad and son right by me. We will be pushing the lads forward at every step.
Come on you Leyth

Just had a phone call from my youngest daughter.

Leigh Miners Rangers under 8's will run out with the team on Sunday.

So you will see twinkletoes (one of my grandsons and faster than Des Drummond) and consequently his mam and dad will be there too.

His dad used to play for Leigh' he was bloody useless.

Really hope we put batley to the sword is so important we get off to a good start so people sit up and take notice that leigh are going to take some stopping this year. Think fev are still the team to beat but really think we can finish 2nd this year... Come on leigh

Wow. Judging by some of these posts, the rest of the Championship might as well not bother turning up next season.

We'll see, eh?

haha give them the trophy and the cheque now lol......

All JK will need to do is stick this forum up on the dressing room wall next Sunday. Hey presto - instant team-talk!

Are you a Batley fan trying to play things down ?

If not, we may be a bit tougher than you think.

We shall see . . . .

Go on then, give us your informed assessment of the new players we've recruited for 2014. I'm intrigued as to why you believe our new players are 'mediocre' and 'underwhelming'?

He seems to be a Yorkshire RL fan Jim, I am sure we know next week will be tough - but more importantly PR will know that.
Our team looks much better than last year and has much more depth to it, if we get a ref who allows things to flow then I am confident we can come through well.

Seems ex player Kieron Purtill will be interviewed in the Ledgends bar next Sunday and no doubt will explain how easy it is to beat the Pies.

I hope we get a ref that that allows the game to flow too. Although saying that Littler, McNally, Goulden and Barlow can be niggly to say the least so I hope the ref has some balls as well.

Just had a look at Leigh's website and you certainly do have a good looking squad and will have 17 quality players all year long. Mick Govin for me is as good as half back or hooker in the division.

I did hear a story, from a very good source at Fax that Alex Brown turned down a £18k signing on fee with them to join you boys for more money, so hopefully KPMG won't come a knocking.

you heard wrong.

I believe the key to our season will be our pack, especially in the second half of games. Big, mobile, fit and a good mix of youth and experience. Tough to contain for 80 mins.
This will be a very competitive season but I firmly believe we have the team and depth to be in the top 2.
