Only 6 ex-Leigh players. It could have been a lot more.

And if I were a betting man I'd suggest 50% of them will score against us.

An eminently winnable game, an eminently losable game. For both teams it depends which team turns up and if its wet it really will be who plays the conditions better.

I'd be far more confident with Amone and Asiata in the side but what can you do?

The weather is supposed to be decent, and i think we will address our off day against Fev. Leigh by about 4 to 8 for me.

I'm going for Salford 16 Leigh 36

We win by 8
16-24.

Up and waiting for the Tv coverage to start here in sunny Vancouver. We have a very weakend 17 out today. I’m hoping the guys stepping in will take their chance to shine.
We will need to be on our game and very error free to win this one I believe.

30 mins in and the ref is killing us with mickey pot calls for penalties and 6 agains. Most being shown to be very pedantic and one sided so far.

That said, 10 mins into the second half and WE are why we are behind with some basic weaknesses.
First contact tackles very weak.
Allowing of balls slipped out in the tackle constantly.
Slow defensive line speed.
No answer to a very fast defensive line speed from Salford (they look offside often but being allows to do it so why stop).
Those are just honest observations, but I’m not losing sight on how decimated the team is this week.

Last post. We have actually ended up getting robbed here. Ethan Ryan try a clear offside at the kick then a clear knock on. Even Barry Mac called it on the replays.
Also the previous Snead try was a clear forward pass from Snead directly before he gets the ball back. Scratch that 12 off and we win.
Poor ref, poor video ref, but honestly, a poor performance.
Onwards Leythers.
