It would have been interesting to go up against a Championship side to see how we compared.

They'd have us as long as they could score seven points.

4 wins V Trinity for Leigh this year then.

Yes. Hadn't they already beaten a SL team in the previous round (Salford??).

If I recall correctly, we were coasting at 14 or 16 nil just before half time hooter. Chris Riley cocked up under a bomb when he failed to take it cleanly and it went into touch off his shoulder. Leigh scored off the scrum and got a roll on. We fell apart 2nd half.

Watched the highlights last week (yet again) you were leading 22-0 just before HT, and 24-6 at the interval. You scored some easy tries in that game, still no idea how we managed to win it. Glad I was there to witness it though.

Chris Riley never really broke any pots for us and that error remains as my over riding memory of his time in a Wakefield shirt.
We did go on to beat Leigh in the end of season middle eights that culminated in the £1million game against Bradford.

I'd be quite happy to have a Chris Riley in our team now. He could score a try.

Doubt that we have anyone currently fit with his pace. Maybe Pratt or one or two others in reserves.
