Halifax Panthers

Panthers have lost two games in a row against Featherstone Rovers in the Challenge Cup and Championship, but the Australian-born winger, who joined the Panthers in pre-season, is optimistic that his squad can respond well.

Walmsley is eligible to play for Scotland due to his family background, and he was called up at the end of last year due to his outstanding form at Whitehaven.

He is still striving to establish himself as a first-team regular, and he started both games against Featherstone, putting in strong performances and scoring a brace in the Challenge Cup meeting.

Expert Betting Tips

Looking at the last five matches of both Leighs and Halifax, we are confident that Leigh is all set to strike another victory in this season against Halifax, who are not in their best form during the season with just 1 win under their belt.
