I don't want Leeds to be safe when they come to ours! I want them twitchy!

If your giving the Masila try , then you'd give the Liam Hood one 2 minutes earlier

All the VR decisions were correct , if the game hadn't been on TV things would have been different

nice to get off the mark today

london smashed batley, scoreline was a shock

batley will be up for next week now, will be tougher than the fev game but still expect a win

who would we prefer to win between salford v hull kr?

The '1 eyed wiganer' mindset has seemingly taken it's effect due to the close proximity of your town.

HKR cos then Leeds host Salford the following week,which might leave Salford on 4 points before we host Leeds.We have proved today we are capable of beating Batley and London,so would go to Leigh the best team from the championship with 6 points.

Touching the side of the ball isn't downward pressure , it isn't rocket surgery as Barrie would say , that's why both try's weren't given

What is it about you Wiganers?

I'll ignore the insult , but explain that we know the rules

You won the battle on the Internet forum.

50/50 at best, can also point to a forward pass for the Lui try.

would we not prefer to play hull kr in the million pound game rather than salford ? i think we would have a better chance against kr

still to early to say but i think we will be in the mpg, pray we are at home if so

Blessing in disguise Brierley chasing the £££ & leaving.
Leigh are now a much more rounded team & the Josh Drinkwater/Ridyard partnership is now coming on song. Drinkwater is at least twice, ney thrice the player Brierley could ever wish to be.

Salford's Lui try a country mile forward, Hoods no try correct & Milli Vanilli or whatever he calls himself *both stone cold drops*.

The Ref & VR both had a great game, bar the Lui NO TRY.

Yep- gives Hudds an advantage over the other SL sides who's coaches will have seen very little of any championship rugby. They will have very little footage to go on. Brierley on the other hand knows the strengths and weaknesses of many of the players at Leigh as well as their plays.








yep all of RL are talking about this guy and are queuing up to sign him.... Aren't they????

wow drinkwater is 3 times the player brierley is!



was you saying that when brierley was playing for you ?

No .....

Because JD was playing in Aussie at that time for another club on the other side of the World, be a bit difficult to judge on that basis.

So you didn't watch him when he played for London then? That was the year he was so good he led them around to win one game ........ all year.......

No again ....

Who with half a mind would want to watch that London side ?
Zero interest in London Village other than how we play against them.

Not prepared to fall out over a difference of opinion, so we shall see.

Five of our regular backs weren't playing when Ryan was there though, (McNally, Brown, Tonga, Dawson and Drinkwater) and I think it's fair to say we weren't particularly putting on many plays while Ryan was with us. (not his fault, I hasten to add - we had just undergone the trauma of our coach leaving and attempting to fit Chase into our team)

As for Drinkwater, he came back over here to put himself in the shop window and he's settled in beautifully. His presence seems to have brought the best out of Ridyard. Josh hasn't yet signed a contract for next season, as he's keeping his options open. Should we fail to make that huge leap into SL, I'm willing to bet that he ends up in SL, with someone else. (of course, that could still be London Broncos again!

)

Brierley only left you this season remember......McNally has been playing for you for years! I've always taken a keen interest in him....... him being an ex hudds lad and all. Tonga- yep played against him when he was in SL. Dawson too - we certainly know his weaknesses,





again ex hudds. In fact we probably know more about your new players than the rest! Stone will know Mitch Brown probably better than any other player on your squad.
In fact, higham, hock, tickle, Hansen, hood, yeah got a lot of SL cast offs we've played against before in there.

Not sure losing Brierley could be described as a blessing in disguise, anyone with his pace is an asset but he hasn't been missed as much as some feared, and most Leigh fans are happy with his replacement as Drinkwater brings different options, and is forming a great partnership with Riddy

As for Brierley knowing Leigh's plays as Alan stated different back line and a new backs coach since he left.

There's Some interesting games yet to come before our encounter, and this week I'm more concerned about Fev.

McNally has been out all this season, apart from the last three games - as has Tonga. So Ryan certainly hasn't played with them this season, or Brown, Dawson and Drinkwater. For what it's worth, we are playing a totally different style of rugby to last season, so Ryan probably won't be familiar with it. Let's see how your lads cope with it at LSV. Do you seriously reckon Ryan will play?

Brierley shouldn't be one of your worries. I suspect given the "reception" he will get from fans and players he probably won't play.
Leroy has been more than a match for Tonga in the past. Mitch brown will be up against Mcgilvary- that side will be very interesting!

Why would he not play he's a professional RL player and surely proving the fans wrong should motivate him big style. Also if they focus on Brierley Brough might have a field day

Using 'jools' argument, Leigh will certainly know Ryan's weaknesses. Of course, Leigh won't be aware of any Huddersfield weaknesses, because Keiron Purtill wouldn't dream of telling us!

New coach some new players info helps but on the day it's who performs.

But Brierley should play for me I would prefer him to Ellis
