NOTES FROM DENIS Good afternoon and welcome to Kingston Park for the second time within a week! Today is a big day for both club and team with the Moody Cup festival taking place beforehand for grassroots clubs and the league leaders <strong>Leigh</strong> Centurions providing the opposition on the pitch. They arrive here in the North East looking to close out what has been an impressive season and one that has them as firm favourites to make an immediate return to the Betfred Super League following last year’s relegation. With a squad assembled that would challenge in this season’s top flight, they have been the benchmark side in the Championship and will no doubt show that again this afternoon. As a player and a coach, these are the sort of games you want to be involved in. They give you an opportunity to measure yourself against the leading outfit and to test your skills and abilities, something we did well when both sides last met back in March. We were competitive throughout that game with the Centurions’ win ultimately being decided by some quick-fire tries at the end of the first half. There were some big efforts from our players and our 18 points were the most anyone had scored against <strong>Leigh</strong> up to that point. In fact, it’s a tally that has only been bettered by Barrow since, so I am calling for more of the same effort levels today. Not for the first time this season though, we are facing the challenge of some significant absentees through injury. Jack Johnson, Jesse Dee, Jake Shorrocks, Brad Day, Alex Foster, Dan Coates and Ollie Roberts are all unavailable to us which provides some additional challenges to overcome today. We are marginally better off than last week against London, having two centres and a wing available to us and hopefully, we won’t lose anyone else during today’s match. It has been something we have had to manage throughout this season and the significance of that shouldn’t be underestimated. The most obvious impact is on the team you can field on any given weekend, but it stretches all the way through the week and affects the level of cohesion that you’re able to gel within the group. That was very much a situation we had last week with players nursing injuries and playing out of position. There are five games remaining this season and there will be no shortage of effort from everyone to perform as strongly as we can and lay a solid launch pad for 2023. DENIS 4
