Good luck Leigh, I think it's great, so that's perhaps why they have kicked Wigan into touch.
This season is going to be very competative and very important for all teams.
Our League needs a strong Fax, Leigh and Fev.
Sheffield will be strong, but hey, what do they bring to the table?
Strong Fax, Leigh and Fev,
Two up two down for 2015?
Must be two of the above three.
Sorry Charlie and Bug,
Fev and Fax.

Latest rumour Steve - " LSV pitch to be ripped up again, and replaced with a.....................paper-based synthetic surface." LSV management are quoted as saying " We are anxious to do everything in our power to help Leigh Centurions in their quest for Sooper Dooper League status. We have taken heed of what many are saying, about the team looking good on paper. Hence we have acted swiftly to accommodate their requirements."

You read it here first!

Wondered why Fax players had been given shredders this year.

The one thing that Leigh will have in their favour is that they should be sitting top of the league unbeaten in 6 games by the time they come to us in April. Momentum is a big thing in sport and that could make a massive difference to how their season pans out. Actually the fixture planners have been very kind to Leigh and it isnt till August that they play 2 of the top teams on following weeks which again could be huge for them.

The best team for the last 2 seasons and looking at their team I dont expect that to change much this season.
