I think Shane has done enough now to force himself into the 17 each week. Really, really pleased with how he is coming along.



As for kickers well we've seen them both kick better before. Yacca lost it last night. For those in the south stand after one of the first couple of kicks he was signalling over to Grady to change but they didnt until later on.



Very much a confidence player in everything he does is Yacca and as I say weve seen him bang 11 from 12 over against Toulouse.



All in all it was another friendly run out really.

Grady is worth a bench spot for how versatile he is.

Shane Grady will never let us down, particularly with his defence. I'd like to see him get more opportunities this year. He's certainly earned his chance.

But they have to play. To satisfy criteria it is not enough that we produce young players we have to play them regularly.

2200.

I was pleasantly surprised with that figure given the opposition, the fact it was hastily re-arranged and just how cold it was.. plus the incredible prestige of the NR Cup isn't exactly there in these early stages.



2200 was a decent turnout I thought.

No team really brings any away support apart from Fax and Widnes.

Don't let them hear you say that in Leigh.

They won't mind.
