Good to see such a strong line up, we are missing a few through injury so should be a stroll for you on what will be a great craic

Re: SLQ 7 - Leigh Centurions H. : Tue Sep 20, 2016 3:31 pm  

So Galloway is out for 6 months, that should be him missing the first month or so of next season.

Going by that 19

Sutcliffe
Briscoe
Watkins
Keinhorst
Handley (see no reason to risk Hall)
Lilley
Moon
Cuthbertson
Segeyaro
Singleton
Ferres
Ablett
Ward

JJB
Mullally
Smith
Hallas

Only other option is Golding to FB and Sutcliffe to the halves, but if Sutcliffe is going to be FB next year he needs all the game time he can get there.

Wouldn't be surprised if Galloway injury is extended to about nine months given the severity of it. Hearing Burrow will be out for around three months, club was expected another long lay off.

Looking at the squad I would say it's between Hall, Ablett and Lilley to drop out given all have knocks. Wouldn't be surprised if all three drop out and Oledzki gets drafted in.

Golding
Briscoe Watkins Keinhorst Handley
Sutcliffe Moon
Singleton Segeyaro Cuthbertson
Ferres Smith
Ward

Mullally JJB Oledzki Hallas

Personally hoping for

Golding
Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall
Sutcliffe Lilley
Singleton Segeyaro Cuthbertson
Ablett Keinhorst
Ward

Mullally Ferres Smith JJB

For those who watched the Wigan/Wire match, Ben Flower been charged Grade C and he has no EGP so could be the end of his season and his stupidity cost him a GF appearance altogether after his previous stupidity reduced him to a 2 minute 'cameo' in the 2014 final.

Flower sickens me, the guy is an A-Grade, 1st Class headbanger, we all know what he did *Lance Hohaia & he has gone & proved himself a worthless vacant thug again.

That challenge should carry no less than 5 matches IMHO ....

Genuinely interested to hear the opinions of others.

As for the Leeds v Leigh fixture, I didn't get to attend the QF of the CC due to work & really wanted to be at this one (just for the craic) but the date change has scuppered that, bought my ticket & booked a days holiday for Friday 23rd, now left with a useless day off & working Thurs night so can't even watch it live.

Hope everyone has a good night of RL, means nowt but still should be good.

Rhinos should win (obviously) but I said that we'd lose when we played Hull KR & Huddersfield this month.....

Re: SLQ 7 - Leigh Centurions H. : Tue Sep 20, 2016 9:39 pm  

I don't watch Flower every week but I've seen Wigan a few times this year and can't say I've seen him do much. If anything he is less of a cheap shot merchant than most of his teammates.
Seemed really odd what he did, totally pointless and could have caused serious injury. Just so obviously not going to get away with it. I think the game should have totally lost patience with late high hits 30 years ago, but still it is not completely clear that hitting someone in the face with an elbow after the ball has gone is intolerable.
I have no particular dislike for the guy but sime sort of large book needs throwing at him. Frankly he wouldn't be missed, he's a dullard lump of beef. Unless he does something like this you would struggle to even notice him.

Re: SLQ 7 - Leigh Centurions H. : Tue Sep 20, 2016 10:55 pm  

Agree with that DHM. I don't think he's a regular cheap shot but he obviously has a habit of doing something completely crazy.
I agree on the ban too, I think it's scandalously low, especially given his previous and the fact he was clearly trying to take out the player.

As for the Leigh game, it's such a shame it's been moved as there are obviously lots of people now not able to go.
I think Leigh stand a decent chance given our state this year both confidence and injury-wise, and given how well Leigh have been playing.

I look forward to us playing Leigh next season, I think they'll more than make up for whoever goes down.

Re: SLQ 7 - Leigh Centurions H. : Wed Sep 21, 2016 12:45 am  

How long a ban did he get this time?

He got charged Grade C which carried a 2/3 match ban and he had no EGP. He got a 2 match ban which means IF Wigan get to Old Trafford he could return for that.

Personally very lucky (like most players are per a Cup/GF with regards to a ban).

Whether careless or intentional, you have to have a duty of care to the opposition. Yes we often see a player rough up a kicker after the kick has gone, but to go elbow first towards the throat/chin area is so stupid and inexcusable.

The one thing I admire Rugby Union for is the length of bans they're prepared to hand out. Chris Ashton today got a 13 week ban. Longer punishments would surely not only help eradicate such foul play but make the sport look better by showing it's prepared to act on them.

Re: SLQ 7 - Leigh Centurions H. : Wed Sep 21, 2016 2:51 am  

As for the Leeds/Leigh game, I think Leigh could do us. 4 day turnaround after quite a bit of defending and nothing to play for and beach mode on (no I doubt they're desperate to win some cheap trophy Sky knocked together in Bev Risman's name)

Part one of this new system has been accomplished.....a Chsmpionship won promotion.....the next step, how will they do in SL? Would actually like them to put up a good showing and either make the top 8 or on the edge of making it.
