Everything else aside that was a big 2 points, especially with Holroyd, Bentley, Ackers, Lisone, Newman, Handley all unavailable.

McCormack showed up great and with Simpson and Smith waiting for a chance too. Simpson can’t be too far off now.

So do if he shows the same in the next few games then i hope we try to sign him permanently.Wigan may play ball considering they have plenty of props.

I still think its is was more to do with the occasion. No Walker isn't going to throw Smith under the bus but also if he says he changed nothing then who are we to to say he hasnt.Lets see if they respond the same If Walker is in charge of the next game.

Watched it all last night, fantastic tribute , well done to all involved.

My son sent me a text at HT to say Croft was playing like a man possessed, fantastic to channel the emotion into that display.

Leigh will be a real handful for the rest of the year, with Amone , Edwin and the new guy Pene they have real forward running power and as a team moved the ball well.

Croft’s cover defence and our scrambling just kept them out a few times.

We have found a leader , Croft put his hand up and in some style.

A couple of those Leigh forwards are exactly what we could do with. Big powerful and hard working

Credit to Leeds and Sky Sports for putting on a great tribute to Rob.

Croft was unplayable at times, leading by example and certainly should be considered for captain.

Really impressed with McCormack, should be putting pressure on the other centres going forward.

McCormack looked decent against Warrington as well, I don't quite understand why it took so long to bring him in again given the injury situation.

Re: Round 15 | vs Leigh Leopards (H) : Mon Jun 24, 2024 10:39 am  

I'd have McCormack as 3rd choice centre or winger, albeit Max Simpson, Jack Smith and Riley Lumb are also competing for these positions.

I'm a supporter of Newman but McCormack particularly in defence had a very strong game.

Re: Round 15 | vs Leigh Leopards (H) : Mon Jun 24, 2024 10:57 am  

We look to have a couple of very talented backs in Lumb and McCormack in particular

Littlewood looks a big lad. I hope he gets a chance against London.
