Thinks it makes for a better comp this year, with Widnes becoming more competitive, Id love to see us and Widnes making both finals tbh,that would be brill.

Fancy Fev tonight, Bibey and Paul will leave a big hole against the best side in the comp last year

Come on Fev! stick it to the lobby gobblers!

Going fishing Vikingman? I'm not biting!

Friendly Neighbourly banter, im sure if we were at home to Fev tonight you would be screaming for the Vikings.



Really looking forward to this one, 2 good sides. Ill have my maltesers at my side sat on my couch watching you rip each other to bits.


Bring on the Championship!

I still think we will win comfortably. Then we seem to have caught Barrow at the right time (for us) then we can rest several players for our game against Widnes. Put any Leyth junior in a Leigh shirt and they would play well enough to demolish Widnes.

Thats the way eh Johnny.

It's only a matter of time Frank before you get beat, were a different animal under Betts.

Nah!



Stick my 2 year old daughter in a Leyth shirt and we'd beat Widnes, we'd probably find them in her back pocket!

They'll be wanting a trophy for it next



Should be a cracker tonight, hope rain keeps off mind you. Will be badgering the barman to switch straight over once footy is done.

Met office is saying dry but with winds of around 12mph, gusts to 27mph. Not a day to be a full back!

I work in Newton le willows and it's windy as hell at the minute, if this continues the full backs will have a tough task tonight. I just hope franks wig stays attached, that would look a little embarrassing on sky.

I'm setting off to Newton Le Willows in 5 mins to pick up a mate who's coming to the game! Met Office says wind will drop at 1800.

Plus, you should steer clear of last season's hefty injury list, this time around.

Starbug will have to consider this while choosing his hat for tonight

If you are in the North Stand Robin and i see you i will come over for a chat, may be a drunken one though,

have a safe journey mate.

COME ON LEIGH.....

LAST MINUTE DROPGOAL WINNER!

DONT THINK FEV COULD COPE AGAIN



LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING ON TV....SEE WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST THIS YEAR.

UP THE CHAMPIONS!

Now that made me laugh

nice one.

Hope so matey,and i am sure most teams would suffer if miss key players.Leigh would miss top players like Hill,Ridyard,Littler,Ellis etc and likewise for other teams.Difficult to say who will win the league, but top 4 will be Widnes,Leigh,Fev, and Fax.I would like to see a Widnes v Leigh grand final.

Really cannot wait for the game tonight, the NRC group games just do not feel like the start of the season to me although it's good to get back watching after winter!

Think it will be tight tonight and hopefully we will get a couple of scores ahead in the 2nd half and see it out! COME ON LEIGH

We all know its not how you start the season, its how you finish it.

Greg owd cock - I'm 50! You aren't going to get a nibble from me!!!





I've seen Fev lose afoore, and I'll see em lose again!

Including toneete

You got nearly 20 on me.

But my post was serious. Look how Fev and Fax started last season and Fev went on to be the best team in the comp and Fax were second best and nipped it in a one off game. Leigh started the season on fire and faded badly after getting knocked out of the NRC. Its not a sprint...........whats to stop barrow doing the same after their terrible strat, they certainly have the quality to do it. Edit: Schofield, i know.

Leigh -4 tonight easiest Money ever made Too Big too strong!! Watch out Championship we aint messing about this year!

can i just say thanks to riddy for coming out of the line and going for that interception,it kept the game interesting.



Can i also say thanks to ian milward for resting mills and hilly after nash got injured and then running with just your fifth choice prop,goodness knows what the scored might have been if you hadn't done that.



Although they all played well,i thought jimmy T ,madden and Mcgillvary got through a mountain of work.
