Squads v York : Fri Jun 16, 2023 6:00 pm  

Re: Squads v York : Fri Jun 16, 2023 6:30 pm  

You hear Lam saying there’s another couple levels to go up yet. Probably the fittest Leigh squad I’ve seen. If no reason to rest players then don’t and hasn’t. Some youngsters in that York squad will gain experience from this.

Cheers, Cokey. Forgot that we'd be meeting our old mate Hingano. They also served.....

With Atomic on this one; put the game to bed in the first 50 (and mock the bookies' 38 start for York), then foot off the gas. It'll be 'ot and 'orrible in Perpignan all too few days later.

For me anyway , as important as it is for continuity and keeping the boys in the zone , as soon as the game is put to bed get bring them off and keep them off .
As well as keeping fresh , we really don’t need any injuries in a game which could end up being a dead rubber inside the first 20 minutes.
If we win by 1 or 100 , it matters not in cup games

Hull KR first through to semi final.Is that an upset?

Re: Squads v York : Sat Jun 17, 2023 5:59 pm  

A hull kr side that has quite a few injury problems beating a poor Salford performance on the day and then a disjointed hull side giving st Helens a run for their money until Griffin's head fell off, is any one else feeling even more optimistic about what could be in store for this flying Leigh team . Well let's see what an out of sorts Warrington team can do against an out of form Wigan team first before we really do start to beLEIGHve

For what it's worth B&B, Lammy never sees it that way. He believes in continuity with the best players he has available. He never seems to mess around, and disjoint his squad.

Cokey, mate, Bongser didn't mention messing around or disjointing the squad, he merely said ease off once the job is done.
Six days to Cats away and, hopefully all there two or three of those ahead of time.

Re: Squads v York : Sat Jun 17, 2023 9:30 pm  

Btw, Cats are one of the three SL teams that Leigh have not beaten this season (Rowley's Salford and blo0dy Wiggin being the others). Chalk one victory each (at least) up against those teams and, regardless of the Challenge Cup or play-offs, this will be a statement season that IMG cannot ignore.
