Coaches Quotes
Matt Peet says he’s been impressed by Leigh so far this season and expects an excellent game between the sides come Thursday night.
He said: “The staff that Derek and Adrian have put together, we know we’ll have our hands full. It should be a fantastic game for everyone involved. It’s a game we all enjoy. It’s probably one of the fixtures both clubs looked for when the fixture list came out. I think it’s particularly exciting because of the quality that Leigh have got.”
