end of the day we tried playing down the middle against a team that had more established props and better props/pack than us (and better defense).............we looked good when throwing the ball about (when it came off) but i must admit we needed to do it!!!
I'd agree with that. It was the Leigh PACK that dominated not just the props. Leigh had only 2 out and out props in the 17 today in Mills and Hill. Thornley has moved from 2nd rower to prop over the last year or so and is still on the small side for a prop and Mitchell is a 2nd rower playing prop because we have nobody else. We had no real size advantage, but the work rate from our pack is phenomenal. Aizue was Fax's best forward today and cherryholme worked hard too. Gannon made yards but gave away a few silly penalties too.
