My above post was obviously a niggle to get bites. Thats fantastic news for a televised game be nice to see a near full stadium on tv. I think Leigh will be better prepared than last week and will know a bit more whats needed to compete. Very interesting game that I cant really call if the Leigh crowd get on top they could get a result. Although I felt Martyn Ridyard looked extremely unfit last week not good at this level

No probs
Im hoping lots of people are only now deciding to come to the game rather than watch on the tv otherwise the east stand will be mainly empty which is not bad considering were we've come from not long ago.anything around 7k would be good for now and bode well for when some other clubs come to town.
Good atmosphere guaranteed,even better than the giants game in the qualifiers.
Dont think ridy in squad for tonight so im hoping Reynoulds gets his chance

if Leeds get a 12 point lead early on 'game over', if it's 'close' at HT, could be interesting.....though Leeds should beat us by about 14+ points. Too many changes from last weeks team in my opinion, one poor game doesn't mean the side 'isn't upto it'.

I can't see this game being won in the forwards. I think Leigh will throw it about like the Tigers did against them.
If Leeds attack like they did against Saints it could be tricky for them.
Goulding saved them from a battering last week. I hope for Leeds sake he repeates his form.
I'm gonna say 26-14 to Leigh.

Is that a whole stand closed for Leigh first SL game at LSV against a big club with a good chance of winning?

How was that not obstruction?

When people ask what an obstruction is and why we don't allow it, we can show them that. It was one of those decisions that are so bad you can't be angry with it. The slide tackle on Burrow was almost as bad. He has also somehow called a forward pass 4 passes after a try has been scored. Not covering himself with glory.

And missed a blatant try but saved by the video ref. This guy is nowhere near SL standard.

Yep, the whole town has been waiting for this day apparently, but we all know it;s only Huddersfield's attendances that are allowed to be criticised.

Good game though, Leigh looked like they'd shot their load early again, could be anyone's in the 2nd half.
