Hoping for an entertaining game from our new Derby game partners & ourselves, especially with a few ex Wires in the team. Maybe Mr Powell will try 2 hookers on the field at some stage ,it has worked well in the past & there is the added bonus of Russell scoots from dummy half.
PS is the Domino's Pizza trophy still up for grabs ? I believe we are the present holders of that trophy.

Before kick off I’d like to disagree with the many predictions that are putting Leigh to finish 11th or 12th. I genuinely think Leigh could make the top 8 maybe top 6. I think they’ve got a good squad and will win plenty of games.
Will be interesting to hear how we play. Hope everyone gets 40 mins, and with the exception of the hookers I hope it's a continual 40 mins. Only then can we have any sort of inkling into how fit they all are. (I don't like any player who can't play a half non stop - only way to control that is to reduce the number of interchanges allowed).
I remember a few years ago we whooped Salford in the pre season match and then got stuffed by them one week later at the HJ when Cull was coach I think.

A very interesting take, if you’re right then unless we finish well above them it could well be the death knell for Powell’s reputation. (before any Leythers think I’m being uppity I’m basing it on how many ex Wires are in your team [and how Lam fared as coach of Wigan])
Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Does anybody know if you can pay on the gate, or is it ticket only? Ta.
The Wire - It's Time To Believe
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with the twists and turns, AS everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up through the pace seems slow. You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worse, that you must not quit. NOW THE WIRE!

Well, like Salford, Leigh have plenty of players who think they will have a lot to prove (and a coach) they’ve also got quite a bit of class in the squad to go alongside that. I think they’ll be dangerous all season.

I've put leigh to finish 10th in my prediction. Maybe they could get 9th if ipape stays fit. Can't see Hull kr or Wakefield finishing above them and I reckon Hull kr will struggle to stay off the bottom of the table.

To be fair, Lam won the LLS in 2020, and lost in the last second in the Grand final to a freakish try that year. In 2021, he was without Field & French that season also. I'd like Leigh to have that success.
