It's definitely going to be a tough game, think it'll be our 1st real test of where we're going to be this season. I think we can win though, hopefully all the illness will have gone and the whole squad can focus on getting back to how we played our 1st few games for a full 80 min.



I think Riddy has had a few games where he's not been up to his usual standard, Rowley probably is considering moving Kay into the 1/2s and brining Pownall back. Trouble is I think Riddy is a player you only realise how good he is when you don't have him, we loose so much whenever he's out injured. Still with Kay to replace him who knows? It's up to Rowley to decide.

Really, REALLY can't see the sense in dropping Riddy for one of the toughest games of the season. We're still posting a decent number of points, it's the daft penalties, easy yards and ultimately conceding too many tries that is the problem, something that certainly can't be put down to the half backs.

Resting not dropping.



It's about going to Halifax with a different approach and asking another set of questions. A set that Rhino is not expecting.

Dropping Riddy....some folk (or is it just the 1) don't half post some kerrap on here.

Also like that tvboy chap, that Leigh Centurions must 'try harder' !

FFS....we will lose eventually, but we have not yet.

Just wait till we do....the Doom/Gloom merchants will have a field day.

Another one who thinks we have already arrived in and nailed a top 2 finish ... Bless





Luckily young Rowley, like most of us (but obviously not him above ) will still think we have lot of improvement in us just yet.

no need to BLESS me mate, exactly where did I type the 'bollox' that you quoted.

Ridyard creates more tries and breaks than the rest of our team put together. I would bring Armstrong back in for Littler assuming he's recovered from his illness. Other than that I would leave the backs the same.



The pack is hard to pick, Goulden should always play if fit, he is immense. And Barlow should be up for it against his old club. But who do you leave out? tough decision for Rowley! I'd go with:



Spencer

Penky

Wilkes

Haggerty

Goulden

Barlow



Beswick

Emmitt

Acton

Hopkins



Tough on Thornley and Sarsfield but I think that is currently our strongest line up if they are all fully fit.

I think Paul Rowley should resign, and Harold Rigby Jnr should take over....he has so much RL knowledge.

Would that be because he has the ball more than any other player? However he doesn't make more breaks than the rest of them. He looks lethargic at the moment and needs a rest, Kay will be a more than adequate replacement.



When you watch the games on Centurions TV it helps to watch it as a viewer rather than a worshipper.

Careful there Reffy, You can not make constructive debate against any of their superstars. You will be shot at the turnpike for treason if you even begin to analyse the performance of the team on this board and God forbid if you actually suggest a solution.

Yes more than you it would appear and It's Mr Rigby if you don't mind.



However thank you for the vote of confidence, I am sure I would do a splendid job but I am far too old to take over the reigns at my age so I would be inclined to leave young Rowley in the hot seat to continue the fine work he is doing currently. If he needs me to suggest a few tweaks here and there then my door is always open





coaching is definitely a young mans game now a days.

It should be a really good game. Rowley trying to get his players to up their game by calling Fax the best team in the Championship and as expected Barlow doubtful.



It would probably be a mistake if Leigh played Barlow as quite a few Fax players will be out to wind him up which is easily done and he would be a liability for you guys.



It will be interesting to see how we back up after the Widnes game because the players were shot and usually after a game like that its tough to win the game the week after. I think Leigh are catching us at the right time and will win by about 18 points or so but it wont be a good indicator as to where the teams actually are.
