Must admit I didn't notice Tickle as much as some other players but it appears in this instance Charlie actually does know.

Just had a look at the stats and apparently Tickle was our top tackler (29) and made the most meters (117) out of our forwards with only Mitch Brown (a massive 155m!) making more.

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?

I always say ,one man's rubbish is another man's sense,it's all a matter of opinion, and I respect the opinion of everyone.

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.

We all should.

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)

Dave was good to see both you and John yesterday ,I knew it would be a close game, and I think a lot of credit must go to Fev , not only for keeping themselves I the game throughout but for making Leigh pull out all the stops,you could see from the Leigh player's reactions at the end of the game they thought it was tough.
Anyway Dave we may see you at Salford in a couple of weeks time as Leigh play HKR on the Saturday afternoon.

Sadly had to miss yesterday due to family commitments. In a way glad I did in the sense that I struggle to cope when we play the last 10 minutes like we have on about 8 occasions this season!!

I hope so Charlie, will be in contact over the next few weeks
