| Quote ="Juan Cornetto"Most of your posts come with a "here we go again" warning by just moaning at the coach and have become repetitive and boring. You make the same point over and over again like an obsession. I bet sitting next to you on match day will be like sitting next to Victor Meldrew.
I repeat Baldwinson hasn't done enough yet to replace those above him in the prop pecking order because last week was only the first match. This is not a criticism of him but of you for complaining about selection even before the first match. Last week against a big Saints pack and bench our forwards did well on defense and for effort and fitness. Even on attack they got us in position we should have scored from so I very much doubt if playing Baldwinson or Mullally for longer would have made any difference to the result. It was the inadequacies of our playmakers that cost us a win and in particular your friend's son Sutcliffe who fluffed the most chances in their red zone.'"
But that is just rubbish Juan. We had this last week before the Saints game. He has done more than anyone else in preseason to earn that shot, so just ridiculous for someone on the outside to say he hasn't done enough this week, just to defend the coach for not picking him.

| Quote ="BrisbaneRhino"Playing with a less than full bench rotation of forwards is looney tunes unless you have a pack full of Graham/Peacock types who can all play long stints. If this were a solitary case then we could argue that BM was trying to ease a young player into the team. In reality he has done this on and off over his whole tenure, and it is dumb coaching.'"
I'd prefer to understand the thinking behind it before dismissing it as dumb coaching.

The club, Leigh, were upfront on ticket prices which apply to all not just away £25 seating and £22 standing with a £2 discount for the visits of Widnes, Cas, Wakey, Catalans, Huddersfield and Salford. All stands have roofs, bars/catering, excellent toilets with bog roll, hot water, soaps and hot air dryers, and there are over 1000 free car parking spots on site.
Those who come will have a great night with what's going on inside and outside, those who don't were never going to come anyway - same as our lot who wont go to Headingley to pay £20 to stand on a dilapidated terrace open to the elements or £32 to have a seat in a modern stand.
Personally would it matter to me if I paid £23 or £25 to watch a game in comfort with great facilities - NO but each to their own, but FFS don't hide behind £2.

As a (Very) OAP, I need to sit at Rugby League matches so I personally am very thankful of ultra modern stadia such as Leigh's
When I come to Leeds for the Leigh return match, I believe my companion will not be able to get a seat in the away supporters seating area for less than £28 ?
Is this therefore the most expensive away seating pricing structure in Super League?

Leigh opened it for the opening fixture of the 2015 championship vs Bradford Bulls - Attendance close to 8,000. And yes a warm Leyth welcome awaits to all our friends from Leeds. Enjpy the game.

| Leigh will doubtless coming flying out of the blocks tonight. If they get a 2 score lead I think it will take some hauling back. Last week's game v saints had some fierce defence. Interesting bit for me is how Leeds go on attack. Leigh won't have to deal with The speed of ball movement and handling that cas produced last week. Would be happy with any kind of win.
I can't see Leeds scoring many unless Leigh's discipline is poor and they give away a high penalty count.

| We do not needs seats or a covered end we are as happy at Cas as we are at say Wigan , we will swell your crowd as we do others . Enjoy the game , i have no doubt you will offer a stern test to us and most clubs that come to your place but can't see you winning enough to avoid the middle eights as your away record will be poor

| It is an awkward one to be the first visitors there on there return to SL, they will be well up for this probably more so than their opening match last week. On the flip side one advantage of going there this early is that they won't have gotten use to the step up to SL matches yet so will still be finding their feet. Leigh's discipline was dreadful in the Middle 8's match so they need to improve on that big time. We could do with starting well and taking a lead and silencing the crowd, if we let them get off to a good start it could be a tough night.

| Quote ="Lawrie L"So what do other away fans pay?'"
Leigh have 5 GRADE A (PRICED) games, they are Leeds, Wigan, St Helens, Warrington & (strangely) Widnes....where it's £22 for home fans to 'stand up' in the North stand, and £25 to sit down in the other 2 or 3 stands. The (adult) prices for the other games are £20 & £23. So basically we have increased the price by £2 for the teams that will bring the most fans (apart from Widnes)

| I am waiting for a Leeds fan to confirm what the cheapest Leeds v Leigh away supporters seat at Headingley is? Standing up is no longer an option. I am hearing either £28 or £32
However I have to admit, even at £32 my family may grimace but that price will not detract me personally from [isupporting[/i my team.

It does not follow that if someone has a different opinion to you it is rubbish. Baldwinson was rewarded with a bench place last week against the saints and di not let himself down but neither did Mullally.
This week for our second match we have a different set of circumstances and because Baldwinson was not selected does not mean he was dropped. He is being brought into the first team squad and like Singleton before him will be underplayed until he matures for his own good. It is how young props are brought on because of the extra physicality. The coaches are obviously giving the older and more experienced Mullally first shot at the vacant prop position and this seems a logical move. You have a history of attachment to this player and if you put your loyalty aside you will see it is the obvious selection to start the season with.

Don't get so upset rhinoms I seem to have hit a nerve! But you do have a blind spot for Sutty's lack of half back abilities. I will refrain from further comment as I fear for you might burst

I agree we need to get clinical with our finishing. It is a potential banana skin sort of a game and we need to be up for a tough start.

| whilst I, and you may not believe it, agree with you regarding baldwinson, I think we simply needed a second rower on the bench.
however with regards to the lack of any runners, dummy or not, this happened last year too. is this not down to the coaching staff not doing the work on the training field?

It's not an opinion though is it? Otherwise you would have said in my opinion. You have made an assumption and have said it is correct. You said he hadn't done enough to warrant selection. Are you part of the coaching set up? No, so you are just making an assumption.
An assumption that is not backed up by performance in preseason and limited game time last week. I have no attachment whatsoever to this player, so think you might be mixing up your posters there, and making an incorrect assumption. Not that it would be relevant. I do have an attachment to some other players, and will gladly state that when they appear, but he isn't one. I was basing an opinion purely on the matches he has played preseason, the only way in my opinion to judge selection warranted.

You say we need to get clinical with our finishing but that implies we are blowing good opportunities to score. We could have camped on Saints line for an hour last week (hell we nearly did!) and not stretched their line. We looked far more likely to score points from long range than close to the opposition line.
Lets hope it is just ring rust and we see a big improvement on that this week, at the very least the last tackle kicks should have been worked on and rectified, they were amateur level at best.
