| Quote: The Avenger "None of whom are as pivotal or influential as Chase not to mention Dobson who was gone after 10 minutes!
Godwin, a hooker, playing Scrum Half after being drafted into the Salford team from Dewsbury with no preperation time.
Patterson was playing at stand off during part of the second half
Leigh lived on their luck in the first half and beat a tiring Salford who were down to 2 interchanges for the majority of the game with Morley playing ridiculous minutes for a 37 year old.
You scored your first try after a penalty and then a dubious penalty
You were gifted a try by BJB then got another when getting the ball back because of a poor decision by Bentham when Fages clearly hit the arm of Beswick and not the ball.
You also had the advantage of being at home.
Leigh are clearly a good team, well coached and well run but the planets aligned for you yesterday!'"
So if Patterson and Godwin were the half backs where was Fages playing? Agree with all the rest though
. Leigh lifted their game against Salford, whether they could do it week after week in the middle 8 is another thing.

I didn't say Godwin and Patterson were in the halves at the same time but at periods during the second half one or the other was partnering Fages

Get LEIGH outta wigan: |

| Quote: The Avenger "I'm not dismissing that mate,
I like Leigh and enjoy their current brand of playing the game, Rowleys going to be a top coach for years too.
I guess what I'm pointing out is the task ahead of Leigh or any of the Championship teams is a huge one.
Against a relatively injury free Super League team and perhaps away from home the gulf is big. That's not Leigh's fault it's just a reality, the speed, intensity and relentlessness of Super League tempers even the poorest sides like Wakefield into something Championship teams will find very hard to overcome.'"
At the moment i'd say only Leigh & Bradford will trouble the bottom 4 SL clubs but as you say it will still be a uphill task for them to string 7 high intensity games together.
From a Leigh point of view "should we finish top of the league" i'd say having 4 of those games at home is a big advantage,it really is a difficult place to come and get a result these days, and i think having a winning mentality should not be underestimated.
The bradford vs HKR game should be interesting today

Of all the teams in the Championship, Leigh have the ability to make me eat my words but; I think under the middle 8 system promotion will become a two year process where teams learn from the first year and use that knowledge to build and be successful in their second year.
That's what I think it will take to bridge the gap!

| Leigh also have the potential to field a far stronger team than they put out against Salford. They were missing Wilkes their skipper, fui fui moi moi who has been ripping it up for them,their first choice winger Higson and their pivotal interchanging hooker. All 4 of them were not in the 17 due to injury.
Someone alluded to Leigh only getting back in the game due to a Salford error. Leigh also bombed a couple of glorious opprtunities themselves. Liam Kay losing the ball when it looked a certainty he had scored and Ryan Brierley uncharacteristically dropping the ball when put clean through. Both would have been tries on any other day.
Some say they are not overly concerned of the threat Leigh pose in the middle 8s to the current SL teams maintaining their SL status.
I think its going to be very interesting and i would not underestimate Leigh or Bradford's ability to finish in the top 4,

I think he is saying that James Webster is underestimating Leigh and Bradford (which he is), but there are some crossed wires here because I don't think the user above DJ is a Wakey fan.

You're talking crap. I'd suggest Webster is doing just the opposite, he's in effect said we are preparing for the split rather than on SS games, to hopefully have us playing well as needed. Not underestimating at all.

Neutral? Did you ever hear his commentaries on Leigh's Championship games with Widnes? (the season that ended with Widnes being 'promoted') Now THEY were biased commentaries, especially when you consider that 'his team' conceded 50+ points to Leigh, in consecutive weeks!
