Hmmm.

The only niggling thing for me is the use of Seven Nation Army. There was a point when it seemed each played had selected their own song to be played when they scored. Now I appreciate we have the Leigh Cheerleaders back but variety is the spice of life and surely they can do a few routines and wonderful back flip displays to different beats?

And if LSV wish to be consider a proper, professional and sterile stadium like every other is now, with the security wands and their temperamental QR readers and card only kiosks, then the least they can do is check all the seats for bird poo.

Mellor was playing like a man possessed in attack and defence.

Ioane was a beast and a half, clearly drinking whatever Joe had had.

Full commitment from everyone.

York were no slouches, there weren't any easy tries scored, just some wonderful complete team rugby, epitomised by the full length final try, everyone was backing everyone else up.

I just wish Josh would back himself to run the line once in a while rather than coming inside.

Otherwise I don't think even the harshest critic could find fault with today's rampage.

Well, with York struggling to raise 17 players, I'm going for Leigh 72 York nil. Hopefully, if we make it to SL, we will see more competitive games. The Champ has just been a 2 horse race. Fax are pushing Fev for 2nd place but can't see them doing it now. It will be the same next season with Toulouse and either Fev or Leigh. Hopefully, IMG will increase teams in SL and make the Champ more even.

IMG’s first and foremost advice will be sustaining financial security. That won’t come at present with a 14 team SL. IMG will be looking long term not short. Don’t be surprised if the advice given is to reduce SL to 10.

Despite other things, Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the performance?

Nice to see you back, A.

92-2 v Keighley, record victory margin and record high score today, as well as a club goal kick record for Inu.

Was a pleasure to witness that today! Really enjoyed it.

You beat me to it, it was 1986. One of Des Drummond's last games for Leigh. One thing in common with the 1986 92-2 win and today's game is that I missed both. The children insisted on being brought to Jodrell Bank today. Despite missing the historic victory we're clued up on all things radio astronomy.

Second bit bang on, first bit a tad out!

As per usual, Bongser gets very few points.

Knew there was a “beat the clock, point a minute” performance in this Leigh team, but as the TON beckoned it would have been exciting for the first time had Bongser not been seeing the whole game through Vancouver Leyther’s eyes - what a match to pick for his first in five years. Delighted for him - just as sound a bloke in the flesh as he comes across as in “virtuality.”

Ah it was a Grand Day Out, Gromit!
