Im not a Stats Fan ,but Tickle apparently was one of Leigh's top yards makers for the Salford game,he may not be one of the stand out players like Matuia,or Hock but a workhorse guy who just gets on with the job,I have championed our pack all season, but now I feel our backs deserve praise ,I can't honestly see a weakness in our team now, Dawson and Brown have added a bit of speed and class , Tonga seems hopefully to have got over his injuries and Higson was deservedly MoM,I have to admit being wrong there to,as I thought Lee Smith should have replaced him .

I'm not sure what will happen now with Lee Smith,it's a puzzler,but Jukesy has a nice delemma when picking his 17, I think we are peaking at the right time this season and it's great being a Leyther.I can't wait for Sunday , I'm not worried either, Fev are workmanlike and an honest team, but I wouldn't think any of there team could get into this Leigh team,have faith.Charlie knows.

I stand duly corrected, Charles. Were he to prove a belter, I should be Tickled Lily the Pink! I think that I may always have had a problem with people by the name of Tickle, or at least the ones with at least one Y chromosome, as I fear one of my daughters falling for and marrying one. Her name is Tess!

I have no info on Smith but Higson was indeed really impressive. I work almost all Sundays and only see the later footage of most matches and therefore it was a revelation last Saturday.

Nozz ,as I said I'm not usually a Stats man but I do watch what work the forwards get through,some folk think all I talk is stupid rubbish, maybe they are right, but I can be serious when it's needed,at the moment this Leigh team really excites me sad I know , but true,I think we have come a long way in terms of progression since last season, when fans of Fax and Bradford made fun of us in the middle 8s, it won't happen this year.

We seem to have upped a gear or 2 from Derek, Jukesy, Cokey, down to the players,which is a good sign, it will be interesting on Sunday to see what the Leigh following is like, I'm hoping for a big turn out, can't wait.

Some?

Surely that's just tickle tackle ?

Smith has hardly put a foot wrong since he arrived at Leigh IMHO.
It's a shame for Lee that he had to miss out on that Salford game & feel he should get another chance.
Smithy has a better defence IMO than Greg Mc, physically bigger & stronger too so maybe Jukes will highlight a game where Smith would be the better option.
Don't get me wrong, Greg is fantastic for Leigh but can be a bit vulnerable near our line, having said that he is a brave lad, as he has proven several times.

Charlie, Was a good call on your part yesterday and good to catch up





DemonUK,

Almost there 3644, was great to see so many Leigh fans at the game, made for a great atmosphere.

Just go and complete the job now and get promoted (that way we can keep our record of 4 consecutive years as table toppers for the championship)

I maybe should stop going to Leigh games since I have been present for 5 of those games - Fev x 3, Bulls at the bash and Sheff away, and saw the Salford game on TV
