Have Feath announced their squad not seen anything?

its no where near too close to call...

Leigh 36 v 10 Fev

I agree, this is where Fev get a reality check

-10.5 on Bet365 is a gift.

No Mellor, no McDonald.
No Busey on the other side so that may allow our middle to get on top earlier. Don’t like his style of play but he is a spark-plug for their pack and does create breaks.
If we can play like we did against Fax we still have this but maybe closer than first thought.
26-18.

Nailed it.

Being ever so optimistic, that looked like Leigh in control, looking at a depleted Fev team sheet and just coasting for most of the match.

Ben better practice his kicking again.

Hingano isn't exactly covering himself in glory as an obvious half for Mellor (though his defence is pretty solid).

Aekins continues to shine in attack and defence but for me the stand out today was Kai.

Given the nature of the squads of both teams it still is hard to draw what the future holds but I think we are in a far stronger position.

Thank you VL and B&B, only wished I had put a bet on the score now. Can't wait for the Summer Bash game. I'm going for a bigger win this time Leigh 42 Fev 16. We must keep Ipape, Amone, Asiata,.they are brilliant. Also thought Joe Chamberlain put in a few crunching tackles. Fergie- what can you say, he's a scoring machine. Just get the ball out wide to him. What an entertainer. Loved the game. Well done to everyone at Leigh!

Bigger, faster, fitter, stronger, younger .....
Better !!!

Pretty much sums it up, and those things will not change.
As long as we stay smarter and equally committed in our next meets with them, I don’t see how they beat us again.

Leigh were seriously impressive tonight. Fev came and had a real go, much more so than in Tottenham. They went beyond their limits to the point of injuring themselves (5/6 players) but Leigh not only stood up, we proved we are bigger, faster and stronger. Brilliant performances all over the pitch but special mentions for Asiata and Amone who did a lot of the damage physically. If there is a better centre than Ed Chamberlain in the championship i have not seen one. Don't say it out loud but i think i'd rather have him than McDonald. Never puts a foot wrong. We have other players like Chamberlain who just do their jobs efficiently without the flashy and make very few mistakes, Smith, Stone and Wardle come to mind. I didn't think Ipape had his best game but again had a few unplayable moments. We will do remarkably well if we manage to keep hold of him. Inu left his kicking boots at home (think its the pink one), black and white obviously don't have the magic. I did, however love the physicality he brought tonight with some massive hits. I don't know if Joey Leilua questioned Ben Reynolds' parentage at some point but Ben seemed to take particular pleasure in 'putting the hit on Leilua' tonight who wilted under the pressure. Well done Ben. Ferguson is just a machine, is that 11 tries in 5 matches?
I do still think we need a half back, maybe 2. Reynolds and Hingano just don't cut it. Ben was good physically tonight but lacks imagination with ball in hand and Ata just isn't good enough. IF we lost Joe Mellor it would be a massive blow. Two good attacking/ organising halfbacks would make us destructive and would make better use of our attacking threats. There are still times were we lack that organisation in attack.
One negative mention for the referee tonight. He was appalling for both sides. Inu's sending off was a soft one and not in the same ballpark as the Fev sending off at the last. He made many dodgy calls throughout the match which really affected the flow of the game. A better referee would have allowed the match to flow better and the scoreline would have been bigger as a result. Lots of stop/start moments took away from our roll and allowed Fev to get set.
Mark my words, tonight was a real turning point in the season. Fev came under instruction to have a real go physically and came off 2nd best to the point of injury. Yes they had chances they didn't take but we were never out of control. They cannot beat us playing rugby, they now know they cannot beat us physically. A real turning point.

Good performance from Leigh. What was the crowd?

4,226 Bongser reads, not bad for a Champ game on a Monday night, especially one that is being TVised.

10/10 for correct score prediction.
