Leopards look to bounce back
Dragons defeat a ‘wake-up call’
Leopards’ forward Carl Josey is looking for the Big Cats to bounce back from their loss against Bradford Dragons when they host Leicester Warriors at the Brentwood Centre today (Sunday).
Leaoprds lost 94-72 last weekend, with Josey scoring 10 points and 13 rebounds.
He said: “The Bradford game it is a serious wake-up call.
“We have gotten away from what makes us successful and that’s myself included. We have to play with more passion, energy and composure.
