Looks like I've managed to get to a couple of Leeds fans here . Cokey is currently enjoying the Leopards so far this season, and no doubt the Leopards will be in SL next season, also 'albeit' stronger also. Looks i'll be around for quite some time yet.
Hoping for a great game on Friday with a hopefully Leigh win. Peace guys.

Good for you Cokey and good to see a well oiled Leigh team doing well. As much as I don`t like your Chairman I have to say that characters like him are hard to find these days and he is certainly putting his money where his mouth is. Good Luck for the rest of the season that`s after we take the spoils narrowly this week.

Is it me or does Newman look a bit smaller this season?
He hasn't had as much impact as I was expecting since returning, however, it is just good to see him playing at the moment and I am sure in time, his performance will raise to the next level after barely playing for the last couple of seasons.
I wouldn't be surprised if his last couple of injuries have meant he's had to alter his running technique a bit. Tom Turbo and Trell Mitchell have had to do something similar in recent years and it took time for them to get back to their best.
Plus, Newman hasn't exactly had much quality ball on a dry pitch, so it's exactly going to showcase his talent. We could also still be limiting his workload to ease him back in, which is wise if it reduces his risk of injury in the future

I don't think he's lost any speed. Certainly got round the Hudds defence the other week. Just glad that he appears to be putting a run of games together.

I think Newman used to do everything at 100 mph, which could be why he’s picked up injured he looks to be easing his way back in and picking his moments better.
We won’t see the best of Newman until we get some better weather IMO
His strength doesn't come from his size, its from his speed and determination in contact. He's one of those players who runs the ball with more force than someone much bigger. Very similar to Staggs at the Broncos in terms of size, and he breaks tackles the same way.
