no brierley, might be very close.

No Brierley? Or is that a smokescreen?

Either way, crappy weather, narrow pitch, possibly loose underfoot. A game for our forwards and up the middle most of the match probably.

Let battle commence!

Haha..Ryan was messing about on twitter last night,saying he was off to Colchester to watch the mighty PNE win promotion.

It seems one or two believed him!

Come on you whites!!

Haha! Sounds about right that.

I'm amazed how many people have genuinely fallen for it. Apparently including one certain resident of Salford...

Hope PNE win today as it happens, been a while since Bolton have been there.

There's nothing in that video that says they will be any threat to us, unless we see another pitch like Fax's. I'm sure the grass will be long and well watered trying to slow us down but Leigh by 20 for me.

Some believe everything they see.

Yeah it would be nice to play Bolton again,an easy six points for us!



Time to crack a can and watch the game,and hopefully listen the Leigh game celebrating!

Been a while since Bolton have been anywhere!



It's a crime the way that club has gone over the years...

Anyway, I'm sorry for the off topic little rant. This is a rugby league forum - and a mighty Centurions one at that.

Come on, Leyth!

If our defence stays as good as it has all season then we'll be celebrating yet another 2 points later.

Well North End bottled that big time!



Oh well,the sun is shining over here,in the garden with a can and Leigh on t'radio will do!

Not much going right for leigh at the moment

7-2 penalty count and mistakes not helping us !

I knew I should have put some money on the lottery this weekend.

Ps Dalton Grant would look good in a number 2 Cherry & White jersey next season.

Did you play your second team today?

No, Dewsbury did though.

Leigh where poor 70% of the game
Ref Merrick was poor 95% of the game

Was impressed with Dewsbury, less than impressed with our performance and much much less than impressed with the ref! At least 2 of those 4/5 disallowed tries should have stood. The last one was dead in line with us and was never a forward pass.

That said, we were poor and AGAIN struggled to adapt to a narrow pitch which needs addressing. Thackeray was good for them as always and caused us a lot of problems. We should have won by more but played some dumb stuff at times. That added to a shocking ref and 4/5 tries disallowed kept it close. Was more than a bit nervous for those last 7 minutes!

23 in a row though now and another difficult match won.

Let's not make excuses. Dews managed the ref better than we did. Merrick has reffed at this level for a long time for a reason. He struggles with keeping up with the game when a higher standard of team plays. Just look at the number of flat passes he gave has forward today. The guy was guessing most of the time. The RFL really need to expose more referees to Super League to increase the experience of refs below the 6 full time picks.

The worse Ref performance I have ever seen couldn't keep up with play and had too ask he's touch judge what the crack was for every call! I thought we did well today I didn't realise just how small that place is we were never going too score loads! Take the 50/50 calls for the try's and it's a comfatable win I don't know what more some fans want!! 2 points in that bag and tough hard game again! Thought beswick and acton were outstanding today!!

Hate the place and didn't bother going, take the two and hope no injuries or suspensions from it

Don't you just hate predictive text

Was always going to be a huge test and every credit has to be given to Dewsbury for making it so tough, especially down the middle. I think at a ground like that we sometimes worry too much about the lack of space out wide and take our eye off the ball down the middle. They more than matched us in the forwards and certainly played things a lot smarter at times. Yes the referee didn't cover himself in glory (the 'forward' pass towards the end was a joke) but we made it too easy for him to give penalties, and he's not the one missing tackles down the middle. Very much a relief to get the two points.

Thankfully we are celebrating another win, anyway, but we defended as poorly as I've seen from us all season. We didn't cope well with Dewsbury's big pack and sprightly attacking play, especially down the middle. We looked almost tired at times defensively.

Credit to Dewsbury, they played to their strengths and capitalised when we made errors.

Fortunately, though, our attack was still more than good enough, lead by the impressive Kay, and we should have scored more.

I found the ground to be quite tidy and pleasant. Dewsbury fans were "passionate" (we stood in amongst them for first 20 minutes by mistake!) and being close to the pitch they "make their presence known" but I didn't feel intimidated or particularly unwelcome.

I really enjoyed the match and atmosphere.

Good luck to them, but I'm not so sure they've got the squad to finish in top 4 this season.

I've always liked Dewsbury's ground (apart from when they used to lump that great big gantry in the middle of the South Stand for TV games) and the new terrace and scoreboard help that no end. Will be even better if they put terracing at the other end as seems likely.
