Let's get behind those in the squad, I know it isn't our strongest but, some top calibre players in there, excitement levels just gone up again after our first finalized squad of the season

All our tickets sold on the club website none showing as available. That is 1,800 in the South stand and then JJR's splinter group singing in the East Stand. Our support will look great on Sky - lets be loud.

Well done Derek, amazing transformation. (I hear the Luftwaffe revving engines in LH 😉)
Local rivalry that’s what RL is about…Toulouse Toronto, New York, London …all well and good when we have the base sorted
Widnes up next year in plac3 of Wakey then another local game

If Sio is unfit as rowls has said its: Brierley Williams Cross Lafai Costello Brodie Sneyd Ormondroyd Ackers King Stone Watkin Partington Dupree Gerrard Longstaff Atkin Burgess and Sio are a shame, but have no probs with Williams who I think is class and gets us so much yardage from his scoots. I also wouldn't wanna move the centres who did so well last year so would rather but costello on the wing Whatever Rowley does, that's a good squad |

Williams or Costello on the other flank. Williams was solid when he played regular - he was awful against Wigan so needs to improve on that friendly, Wigan had a field day running at Williams / Lafai and Longstaff, your right Williams was decent always at least 8 out of 10 when a regular fixture, if he plays lets hope we see that consistency again. |

Leigh's potential 17 taken from a post on Total RL.
1 Zak Hardaker
2 Tom Briscoe
3 Ed Chamberlain
4 Ricky Leutele
5 Josh Charnley
6 Gareth O'Brien
7 Lachlan Lam
8 Rob Mulhern
9 Aaron Smith
10 Ben Nakubuwai
11 Kai O'Donnell
12 Jack Hughes
13 John Asiata
14 Edwin Ipape
15 Tom Amone
16 Ava Seumanufagai
17 Oli Holmes
Now I'm not dismissing them one bit but do we not think that even with injuries we're a much stronger team? I think the overseas players that have left have really weakened their potential best 17.

I think we are stronger, no doubt. We were a ref decision from the GF last year... without Brodie and Ackers. They will be well up for it, lots of energy and enthusiasm and I think we need to ride out the first 15-20 minutes, get a couple of scores and silence the crowd.
I am worried as we don't always start well. Also, our wingers aren't looking great. Last year Williams looked past it to me and he was apparently terribly against Wigan. Cross isn't a natural winger. If they move the ball fast outside with Hardaker chiming in from FB I think they'll catch us out. I'm still amazed we didn't look to the Championship for a winger last year when players like Ritson and Hooley (I know he's a FB) were available.

Not judging Williams on how he played in 1 friendly 😂 |

If Sio is fit then I’d put Watkins back to second row and play Sio, cross, Lafai, Williams. If Sio not fit then Watkins up centre and Cross on wing. But if Rowley decides to put Costello in at centre then I’m sure he’ll do a job for us.
Assuming everyone else is fit then Borouh and Longstaff the other two to miss out for me. Feels tough on Longstaff but don’t think I’d put him in ahead of Stone or Wright.

I think any 17 from our squad is stronger than the Leigh 17 but still not overly confident because of our record at the LSV. Hopefullly we can burst their bubble like we did against the Cas full house last year
