Win or lose next Sunday I still think Webster should walk. Whether he has lost the dressing room or not is one thing but it certainly seems he has lost the confidence of the fans. I'm not sure that he'll ever win that back.

To be fair, you should do. Your team will be far more 'fired up' than the game at Hull KR, when your team gave up when more than 2 scores behind. It will send out a message to Leigh, Bradford, Fev etc, that you will be no pushovers in the 'middle 8's'. We play part time sides week in week out (apart from Bradford/London). If you lose this one......oh dear !

You could say they that because of that they are more battle hardened than if they were blowing teams away. On paper we should win the game. On grass i am far from confident.

You're right, we aren't playing that well at the moment. I can see both teams raising their games next week.

Our coach acknowledged tonight, on Radio Manchester, that, despite your poor run, you are more 'battle hardened' to playing at SL intensity, week in, week out. (despite what the more cynical Trinity fans may suggest! ) It will still be a huge ask, for us to win at yours.

Hope Owen,Collis,Kirmond and Lauitiiti are back fit to give Trinity more of a cutting edge against Leigh.

Hall - Not a perfect Full Back but attacks better from the back than anyone else
Johnstone - Play him on the left outside an experienced centre
Collis - if fit he's the only class outside back we've got
Lyne - instruct him to start playing with physicality & impose himself
Owen - better when he's busy throughout, don't let him get detatched from play
Godinet - too good to spend 50% of the game sat down
Smith - just organise and kick well, no need to be a superstar just be functional
Anderson - Best Front Rower we have, 2nd game back should be better
McShane - interchange with Washbrook, not ideal but he needs a rest
Simon - Get the benefit of his impact right from the KO, put Leigh on the baackfoot
Kirmond - Like T Smith, go back to simple, play on the right, run lines
Washbrook - a la Kirmond but on the left, concentrate on partnership with centre
D Smith - 3rd Prop playing in the centre channel,

Miller - Options for Full Back/ Half Back/ Hooker
Ryan - Centre/ Back Row/ Front Row
Scruton - Come into the game looking for impact, high energy
Anakin - same as Scruton

Overall, let's get back to basics, want it more than them on both sides of the ball!
Defend in your channels
Up and out defence, pushing from the Middle as the ball travels out

Is Ali injured?

Arundel didn't do much wrong on Thurs, so if Collis not fit would keep him in the centres and swap Miller on the bench for Ali.
D.Smith played well early doors starting at prop with Scruton.
Would have Anderson, Simon, Anakin on the bench as three really good go forward forwards.
Isn't Paea due to return also?

Sorry, forgot about Ali Lauitiiti!

Swap him in for Miller or Anakin

The Leigh chairmans twitter account certainly makes for interesting reading. Classy guy.

We need Ali. He's the only one who can break the defence near the line.
We'd have had 2-3 tries at Rovers if he'd been playing. The rest just can't do it unless it's broken play.

Pedants corner, deflecting from your HEAD OF RUGBY

@derekabsundecks

Derek Beaumont the Director of Rugby or some such other title he's given himself.

He's never played the game at any decent level and doesn't hold any coaching badges yet has appointed himself head of Rugby over a knowledgeable guy like Paul Rowley.

In one of his other Twitter rants pre Salford he was saying stuff like 'I'm going to pick the team I want whether Salford like it or not'. To which someone replied that surely Paul Rowley picks the team? Suffice to say it got his back up and he delivered a short answer!

He's a moderately wealthy bloke (Andrew Glover level) and has allowed himself to get carried away with Leigh's success! He's certainly not doing the reputation of Leigh any favours and I'm sure Tommy Sale and Alex Murphy are embarrassed for him.
