If you recall the last time Hock was at The Hive he was sin-binned for starting on the young,taller than average hooker,Cunningham,on dual - reg from Hull FC.( Credit to Cunningham he stood his ground)
Against Featherstone it was the youngster Baldwinson,on loan/dual reg? from Leeds.
I suspect he will start again against one of your youngsters.
It is like watching the grass grow with Leigh,and their 'style of play' is coached so well it appears as natural as grass.
I hope all goes well for you on 7th June.
( Then again in the Middle 8's )

Not sure the last post helps your cause
Quote: atomic "That's 34 players cited to the Disciplinary, from our last 3 games. (13 in Leigh v Halifax; 13 in Wakefield v Leigh; and 'only 8' in Leigh v Featherstone) No way are the Disciplinary members going to fall asleep, whilst reviewing our games!
Must say, I was surprised at so many in the Wakefield game - from what I saw on TV, I don't remember that many incidents?'"

I see a common factor. Can you guess what it is?

| So anyone had any revised thoughts on how middle 8 might pan out, I reckon wakey salford Def other 2 either both hull teams or KR and widnes
With leigh Bradford Sheffield then god knows, if we make it in it will be on a good run but reckon we would maybe finish 6th in that comp, I still think wakey will come down but could be Bradford or Leigh. Salford will be a tough nut for any championship team but already lost to leigh so who knows

| Will Leigh be there? I'm hearing the rumours that were talked about a few weeks back are about to be realised. If what I'm hearing is correct Leigh won't be in the top 4, nor will 6 of there players be playing rugby for a while.
This has come from a player in SL. (Don't shoot the messenger!)

Actually a few months back. And your source isn't a SL player.If you could back up any of the claims you make,I'd be the first to hold my hands up.
Seeing you don't have those facts (or not willing to post) your post is irrelevant.

| Really do hope those rumours don't come to fruition, it is a bit of a double edged thing tho if the allegations turn put to be true the RFL have to be seen to act and be hard to show re rest of the sporting world it deals with it properly. On the other side they are probably the team most capable of proving the 8s system is a good thing taking them out of the running would send gutters into a frenzy of excitement

| Well I think we have already seen this season how the RFL deal with it ie: Fev.
This is a good learning stem for you,as come next season when your firing on all cylinders,they'll come hunting you.
