Can't believe Brfiscoe is only 18. Had a cracking pre-season.

It will be great for him, and will help him develop into a better player before coming back to Leigh. If tonights performance was anything to go by he will slowly work his way into the 1st team over the next few years. He had a hell of a match. Well done Chris, one for the future I reckon

I think Derek was extracting the urine

It was said that it was a possibility IIRC but no specific player/s was/were mentioned.

To think we kept bringing the stump robbie paul back in for the lad pownall at the backend of the season no wonder the lad was peed off,if we play the kids instead of shipping in johnny third rate grade one time sub on the bench foriegner we may find there are actually talented enough

Impressed with Chris Rowe, never heard of him before, but I certainly have now.
Hopkins awesome yet again - Right Pownall was full back, who was in the centre's with Littler, and who was wearing the no. 13 shirt - thanks in adavance.

We haven't got a single overseas player this year. Not one. Last year we had just the one, Robbie Paul. He's hardly a 'johnny third rate grade one time sub on the bench foriegner' is he!? He's a legend of the sport and a well known personality too.

Pownall will get his chance and I think it will be this season. Pownall to start on the wing for me with Maden on the other wing. They have been the strongest performers in the pre-season. Having Clay and McGilveray will mean there is competition for places which is always good. Pownall went round the very highly rated Matty Russell like he wasn't there tonight.

And Budgiezilla, Ricky Murphey was playing centre and 13 was (i think) craig briscoe.

And let's not forget that RHP was class on several occasions last year and had a big hand in winning some vital games, but don't let that get in the way of a rant!

I'll be honest and say I don't know what number Rowe was tonight? Tannoy was dreadful in the North Stand, barely heard the teams being announced.

11 rowe

Number 11, scored a try (our 1st?), made great yards in attack and put in a huge defensive effort. And broke straight through a tackle towards the end of the 1st half and got his hands free but the pass went awry or we would have scored from it.

I think that was more to do with the announcers voice. He seems to have a quiet voice. Also speaking about the announcer, did anyone hear who he said was our no 10 when he ran through the player list?

I know it was Hopkins but I had a text from a pie eater saying he could swear that it was announced as Tomkins?!

Mark is still growing in to his role on the tannoy anyway and I'm sure will continue to improve
