I know our (Leigh) squad isn't technically 'weak' but I think some players are 'carrying slight knocks' and could do with a week off (like a lot of other clubs I know).
Personally I'd be more concerned about our 'current form' rather than the fact we are missing 'definite starters' Higham, Maria, Brown, Tonga, & Paterson. (only 5 admittedly)

Either way that's a big pack Leigh have named.Tickle Stewart Hanson Hock add in the french hooker who specialises in poop housing and looks a tough ask for our pack to match.Lunt being back is probably the biggest positive for us.

it would be very unproffesional of your club to play players who are injured or carrying knocks, for something that realistically you will not win (the cup). a lot more chance of staying in superleague so keep them fresh
