my opinion is that McNamara will end up playing nine but in the Championship

Seems strange but cant see him in the 17 anyway for this match unless we get a training injury to Hoy.
McIntosh did well enough to keep his place on the wing

Agree with this unfortunately for Litten he may have to wait a week or two

I don't think him sitting out another week is a bad thing. Darnell didn't do his chances any harm at magic (apart from the dropped ball) so he deserves his place this week.

If Balmforth is staying he needs to be in the squad sooner than later for me, especially if we're losing Lovodua, Dwyer and maybe Houghton. Its going to be tough to recruit 2 decent hookers in one off season.

Have Leigh announced a squad yet?

I want to like them, but they do things that makes them look tin pot.

No website, can't run a reserves and haven’t announced a 21 man squad

TBF you need to try and look into the reasons, and legalities as to why this is. I won't be posting any of that on these forums. Anyway, the way we are performing atm is good enough for me.

They'll really struggle when/if Lam and Ipape go to the NRL they'd both be nearly irreplaceable.

Don't be silly now. We will be adding more quality to what we already have next season.

But without any kind of decent youth system to fall back on it won't matter. You can only spend the same as everyone else in the league. There's not a massive player pool available and you're not going to be able to attract quality NRL first team players as we can't compete with them.

Actually, I've never mentioned the NRL. TBH, I don't really get your point. Look, quality players will be at Leigh next season you can be sure of that (check out the new marquee rule). There's no point keep going on about the reserves. Reserves don't put bums on seats. Sad situation, but that's the way it is.

Have Leigh announced a 21 man squad yet? Is the rule still that this must be announced by noon, 48 hrs before the fixture? If so they’re a little late by now and after cancelling reserve games it doesn’t do them many favours surely.

I'm not repeating myself about reserves, look into it. It's a stupid debate that's going nowhere.

rlSquadsrl Only 19 in Leigh's squad.
