Oh, and my mate Frank has just told me they've also swooped in and highjacked the Thompsons as well as Hansen. Mind you, Frank has had a few bevvies and is smirking when he's telling me all this!

Castleford have dropped Matt Cook, Grant Millington, Jake Webster and Lewis Peachey for their match at Widnes. Anyone care to guess if any of these will fill in for Adam this Sunday? Millington would be nice!

If it is remotely true I couldn't think of a better motivating factor for our team to go get them and raise everyone's interest

Not sure of the merit of the last 2 posts...hopefully DR is a thing of the past for this club.Same line-up
named for Sunday bar Sion getting the nod in Adam's absence.

Squad just announced. Only change is Jones coming in for Tangata. Interesting to see Leigh making 11 changes to their own squad with 13 of the 19 having squad numbers over the number 17.

Time for Jones to take his chance with both hands. Good luck lad retain the ball , no penalties and give them hell.

Re: Rochdale match. : Fri Jul 27, 2018 1:15 pm  

I don't think Jones will be included in the team. More likely to put Woodburn-Hall or Heaton in the backs and Butler and Barber in the pack.

Regarding Rochdale, they'll have at least 3 changes this Sunday with Bennion returning to Salford, Syme returning to us, and Moores out suspended.

Sounds good but I still think they'll beat us.

I think Sheffield will smell blood, griff. A couple of wins on the bounce and a third win will put to bed any lingering fears of the drop as well as scalping Leigh in their own back yard, not to mention that Leigh's remaining squad must be somewhat dejected.

FD , I think you may be in for a shock, yeah we are down, but most Definatly NOT OUT, we will field a decent squad, all of who want to play and will feel they have something to prove,yeah a few have left , but a fair few have stayed for the battle.

The crowd will be a decent size,I've heard a possible investor is hovering around I love a battle as do most Leythers, you never know,I'm a gambler though and would truly bet on a Leigh win on Sunday.Leigh by 8 , Charlie knows.
