Match Preview and Squad announcement


Trio out for Centurions

Leigh Centurions coach Paul Rowley is without Andy Thornley (chest) for the Co-operative Championship clash with Keighley Cougars, while Sam Hopkins (medial ligaments) and Rob Parker (finger) are both ruled out for the rest of the season.

Rowley is preparing his team for a Keighley backlash after Leigh won 26-0 at Cougar Park earlier this month, but the Centurions coach remains in confident mood.

He said: "We've been absolutely rock-solid for two games, and we're more than happy with how we're going.

"Keighley will be a bit upset at the way we dismantled them, and they'll have 101 points to prove. They've also got several players leaving at the end of the season, and they'll want to finish on a positive note.

"There are plenty of reasons why Keighley will want a good performance, but we're not limping into our final two games. We're bouncing around and rolling strong.

"We're confident, and we know what levels we need to reach in terms of our intensity and commitment."

Semi Tadulala (hamstring) is out for Keighley, but coach Jason Demetriou will be hoping that Gavin Duffy and Craig Moss will be fit again after missing last week's 18-18 draw with Swinton Lions.
