FELT PEAKY BUT HAD A BLINDER!

Armstrong Leigh-thal off sickbed

- DAVE CRAVEN

DAVID ARMSTRONG has revealed just how ill he was before his man-of-the-match display in Leigh's pulsating draw at Hull.

The rapid Aussie fullback scored two tries (above) in Thursday's 22-22 thriller.

But he hadn't seen his team-mates all week after being laid low and losing more than half a stone in weight.

Armstrong, shining in Super League after his winter switch from NRL's Newcastle Knights, wasn't even due to play until making a late decision on the morning of the game.
