Seems to be 2 conflicting views about the last Leigh game. One suggested Leigh three the ball about in 2nd other suggests game got killed by slowing it down.
So we had enoough folk there what was difference in 2 halves

Difficult to say 'mickyb'.

I felt that Leigh started to disrespect possession and try the impossible. (someone likened it to the Harlem Globetrotters?) But I would say that - I'm a 'Leyther'!

The other viewpoint is that the Broncos tightened up in the second half and prevented Leigh from playing an expansive game. The reality, I suspect, was six of one and half a dozen of the other!

Should be interesting to see what happens next Friday.

Cheers mate, that's all I was trying to get to bottom off, did we get better in second half or were leigh worse

Leigh Miners have tweeted that this is a Friday as LSV is booked for functions that weekend. It looks like Miners have been refused permission to play Oxford at Twist Lane so are likely to have been in touch with LSV about availability.

Have we got a team? or are we just giving it to them?

Re: Challenge Cup : Tue Mar 17, 2015 8:14 am  

A problem with Challenge Cup ties, is that clubs are very reluctant to offer D/R players, as they never want them 'cup-tied'.

A few seasons ago, we (Leigh) had a very useful group of Warrington first team squad players on D/R. (Matty Blythe, James Laithwaite, Rhys Evans) We weren't allowed to use them in the CC, as Tony Smith absurdly felt that they would have a better chance of appearing with Warrington at Wembley, than with Leigh!
