Wouldn't fancy us at all on a dry track but Sunday will be heavy and Leigh lack stomach judging by their Barrow result.

To get owt from this game i think we would need for Leigh to be poor again. That's a sad statement to make but I can't see many positives after the dire performance at Rochdale. A lack of recruitment, injuries, DR and Richard Marshalls tactics are well and surely showing in displays and results on the field.

Pete, our own performances have been very sketchy all season, we seem to build up a decent lead then sit back and let the opposition attack us, which is fine if you have a good defence, at the moment the Leigh defence is very fragile,this game could go either way, I'm only tipping a Leigh win because I very rarely tip a loss for us.But the result will be very close, as has been said a dry pitch will suit Leigh, a wet one will suit Fax, I'm going for a 2 point Leigh win.

The thing is a 2 point win for Leigh would be another defeat for us. I was particularly unhappy when RM said we will get up to speed as the season went on. Every other coach was quite rightly stating the importance of getting off to a good start, not ours! We simply can't afford to lose on Sunday and , unfortunately, I can't see any other outcome. I hope I'm wrong.

We'll never get up to speed anyway with chopping/changing personnel depending on who Powell's wants us to use week by week.

Well..interesting 19 man squad.Is Heaton to get a chance at wing with no pointless DR back this week ? Gadwin Springer only DR at least he offers something potentially other than the basic ordinary forwards we've had already.

Aye but he'll still have to get used to our moves and calls. No cohesion.

That would suggest that we have some moves and calls to get used to!!

:) If he can't read our game within 5 mins of entering training he shouldn't be in super league..
