Reynolds Emmitt Whiting Smith Armstrong Chase Hopkins Spencer Acton Maitua Higham Paterson Hock Hansen Weston Ridyard Kay Higson Hood -

Similar squad to last week - Jukesy got a difficult job to finalise his 17. Reymolds very unfortunate if he does not make the 17 -
Chase had a solid game last week - but Reynolds and Riddy IMO have been formidable.

Hopkins suspended

Might be the match to give Riddy a rest and have Chase and Reynolds at half back.

1-5 virtually pick themselves and pack looks strong too despite Hopkin's abscence.

Seems Batley have an injury crisis atm so I'll go for Leigh by 30.

Never take things for granted Frank, I'm expecting a very hard game , a Leythers win by about 18 , but a hard game .We are all in Blackpool for the week end Kels 21st,should be a wild week end as all the Lads are going , see you Sunday.

Would not disagree with the idea of giving Riddy a rest - do disagree with Leigh by 30. Batley have brought in two quality loan players and will be smarting from last week's defeat. I expect a close hard fought game with us coming out on top - just.

We stuffed Batley last season at the LSV and I see no reason why it won't be the same this time.

they are trying to register a further 2 players as well

Bookies give Batley 22 start.

Not suspended yet. He's been charged but the hearing is Tuesday so free to play.

Below taken from the RFL website:-

Sam Hopkins - Leigh Featherstone v Leigh - Championship Range of Recommended Sanctions in relation to Charged Grade* : 1-2. Early Guilty Plea Offered and Accepted. 1 Match Suspension Details of Charge / Reason for NF : Rule – 15.1(a) Detail – Strikes – Head Butting – makes light contact Grade – B Decision: Charge Incident: Head Butt in the 35th minute (Thackeray)

So I assume the ban will be enforced this weekend, as it has effectively been dealt with.

Its bank holiday Monday.The ban will only be enforced after that.

Edit: The EPG must have been in before Thursday.
