I agree, if we can match their pack then the halves will have less time to play. They are an old team and if we can live with them for the first 20 then we have every chance. They'll look to blow us away and once that's out the way we just need to run around Cory 'flat track' and he'll wave you through.

Not got tickets yet, are we behind the sticks or down the side ( like the cup match)?

I think If we have our Heads screwed on we are a match for them if all are fit, so lets go do them one

If you do that you will be in with a shout for the points.

Leigh's 6 and 7 may not be Thurston and Cronk but they are classy SL half backs and are currently going great guns for Leigh. Any team that has both half backs absolutely firing as they do will always take some stopping. Mortimer has been a revelation since coming in a few weeks ago, him and Drinkwater are controlling everything behind the forwards, with Langi adding some strike on the edges.

I suppose Leigh will be equally wanting to nullify Lunt in the same respect , and let their 6 and 7 control the match.

It is a fascinating match in store.

Eh? By my reckoning only 3 of Leigh's starting 13 on Saturday ( and likely to be pretty much the same for this week) were aged over 30.

Micky Higham & Harrison Hanson for definite and I think Cory Paterson turned 30 the other week.

How many of Rovers starting line up last week were over 30

Maurice Blair, Lunt, Scruton, Kavanagh , and Carney may be?

Got mine yesterday and there behind the sticks

Couldn't they post them to you?

Add Vea to your over 30 quota, take Carney off ours and you will not be far off.

However add your bench and Tickle alone adds 3 years to your average!

Patterson, Higham, Hansen, Brown, Vea, Maria, Tickle and Stewart were all 30 or over

Aside from that I'll take your point

Kavanagh not yet 30 either. He's 29.

Who do you guys think we will play at half back? To me Atkin on the bench is a wasted spot. He either starts or not in the 17 for me. However only way I see him playing is if Sheens drops Ellis which would be a big call at this stage.

Does Quinlan come back in at FB if fit?

Some interesting decisions to be made at 1, 6 and 7.

Quinlan not done enough for me to earn a straight recall, Moss was good at FB on Sunday and Shaw is a better winger than Moss. The only real Option we have is Salter to 2nd row and Blair in the halfs but cant see it.

My apologies, Vea and Maria have just turned 30 this season as well. Mitch Brown is still in his 20's - Tickle & Stewart were not in the starting 13 and therefore not included in my point for obvious reasons.

Okay I will re word by saying only Micky Higham and Harrison Hanson out of Leigh's starting thirteen fall into the 31+ age bracket, everyone else is aged 17-30
