So first win under the belt and a stiffer test from the only team to beat us in the league last year to look forward to this week. Again would like to see us put up a strong defence, keeping full time London's score down & playing all out against them for the full 80 min will be a worthwhile thing to do & set us in good stead for the trip to Odsal the week after. We've seen Ridy & Ryan and Rangi and Ridy lets see how Ryan and Rangi get on as a half back pairing this week. I hope Bob Beswick is back, we look a far better team whenever Higham is on the pitch, Bob also has plenty of experience and should be able to lead in a similar way to Micky Higham.

Prefer Foster to get a run personally, the club have decided he is one for the future - he needs to be put out there now IMO to get some experience. Looked very promising form what I saw on Sunday

Smith Kay higson worthington pownall rangi Ryan moi moi higham Weston Hansen Dixon Patterson subs hock Hopkins spencer Beswick. Obviously depending on fitness or cory and Bob if neither are ready bring in emmit and foster. Beswick needs the time we need him ready for odsal I like Forster and he will be a good un just a bit soon for the big games

Huge game, we need to let the lads know we are behind them with the injury situation especially

Fosters gone very well so far, but I too think if he’s fit Beswick needs to play in this one and probably the next few, Fosters time will come.

If it’s Riddy’s turn to sit this one out then I hope Paterson plays.

The strongest Leigh team should be put out against the FT teams like London & Bradford + the stronger PT teams Fax, Eagles & Batley, only when playing teams not quite so strong should tinkering be done.

Rotate yes, but top 2 is priority to benefit from the extra home game in the 8's.

Personally, now that Pala has been released, I would be looking to bring back Ben Reynolds who can do a good job at 9, 6 or 7 & even cover the back line if necessary.

Ste I've said the same thing we should concentrate on finishing in the top 2 to get the better games in the 8's, our next 4 games will be difficult , but all are winnable.

No leave Reynolds at dewsbury gaining vital experience leading a team round the park and bossing it! No point having him back here to sit in the stands "just incase" go after a proper centre

Leaking an average of 20 points against 2 unfashionable sides is not a great start defensively.

London are no great shakes and it should be a pretty routine win really.

If at London, a different story !!

If Worthington is fit I would go with him and Higson in the centres for Sunday over Whiting. Simply because Whiting will not have had any time to train with the rest of the players and get to know our structures etc.

Would like him to have a week to settle in before going into a match, similar to how Lee Smith missed the Batley game. However if Worthington isn't back then he probably has to go straight in as we are lacking options.
