He's as likely to be going against Cullen if he stays on the bench any longer Durbin's speed at dummy half, and our almost total reliance upon Ian Watson in an attacking line, means that he is most likely to be used as a rotation hooker with McConnell. Just hope somebody tells Neil Kelly that rotation means actually bringing him on with more than 20 minutes to go

The plan is to wait until the opposition have run themsleves ragged and are totally knackered (and 30 points ahead!) and then bring him on, to run at them. (without support, as all his team mates are also knackered!) It would have worked last week, if the game had gone on another half hour!

A Leyther comes in peace......(I was only curious to see how you were going on tonight).

Durbin has injected a lot of pace round the PTB, but then again we've not had that really since your favorite Rowley packed up. On his 3rd or 4th chance, he's really impressed.

Hobson has been a total revelation since his head went west at Fev. Different player totally, hopefully he'll continue the form because hand on heart I've not seen a much better prop in this league for a while.

Good luck to him. He's been an idiot and gambled on his future with his stupid mistake but is obviously grasping his second chance with both hands..

I'll believe it when I see it re Hobson.. IMO he's nothing but a thug and a cheap shot penalty machine and I said this at the time that he was playing for us.. I cheered the day he went.
As for a better prop.. Wilkes was outstanding for us in 2007 and deservedly obtained a ton of plaudits.

Certainly does, had some cracking games with Leigh over the years, the only team to bring decent away support in this division.

Halifax?

u always get them Halifax could bring there away support in a mini bus. Leigh & Widnes always take crowds away of 1,000 plus.

Not these days, we don't, though I reckon we had half of the crowd at Donny today.

You're telling me you had 1000 last Thurday? And you'll have 1000 this Friday?
