Glad to see you're back, Ian!

Workington Sunday. I'd love to go but sadly I am working.

Here's hoping the Leigh lads have shaken off the defeat to Wire. If they have shaken it off properly then I expect them to win easily in Cumbria - and especially so after Fev did us a favour last night.

Moimoi had a stinker last Saturday and some people have suggested that he's not good enough for SL. Well, we all should remember some things about the big man. He's had a lot to contend with since moving to Leigh (family stuff and a bad injury, etc) but the fella has kept going. He'll be out to prove people wrong and I fully expect him to be a massive impact player for us come the 8's.

People usually only notice the big metres he makes, but his defence is fantastic for us too.

It's good to be back Ant us Clowns are very hard to keep away ,I'm expecting a hard game on Sunday but the team hopefully will be in the right frame of mind and chuffed with last night's result,as we are back in the driving seat now.As you say it's not been easy for Fui but the guy will bounce back I've no doubt of that he's a professional,Gareth Hock had his problems but he's playing very well now.
I didn't get to see the Warrington game for obvious reasons but I'm sure the boys will want to show we are still up for the Challenge,I'm going for a score of Worky 16 V Leigh 38 ,the Worky ground is suited for our open style of play hopefully it will be a fast pitch and warm.

I also know under the old rules Penny's try wouldn't have stood,although I do like the new ruling.

Re: Workington This Sunday : Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:27 pm  

Aye, our forwards had it all to do against a SL pack at a very fast pace in very warm weather. It was just too much in the end, especially second half.

Brierley stood out, indeed. We'll do well to keep hold of him if we don't get promoted. And, even if we do!! The lad is class and getting better too.

The tries we scored are what Leigh are all about. Fantastic.

And yeah, Penny's try was superb, but Mcnally's was better after Liam Kay broke free and kicked over to him.

Yes a friend of mine. Even the smelly Widnesian has some good Leigh friends, and i hope we both are in Superleague next year.
