Bradford thrashed Salford last year and didn't even get home advantage.

That's where the disadvantage for Champipnship sides comes in.

Bradford beat one SL team Wakefield lost to all of them but got home advantage.

Leigh therefore need to beat two SL teams to avoid the MPG.

If they can pick off Huddersfield or Hull KR that leaves them needing to beat both Championship clubs they have left to play to go up automatically.

There's a lot can happen between now and the end of the middle 8's.

I think they are capable of that though and I really hope they do it.

It will be really funny to see the whinging for one thing. If there were 2 SL clubs in MPG they would have to cut their cloth and reap what they sow etc etc.

Speaking from experience the MPG is a horrible thing to go through. It's not like a final it's truly awful and you just feel sick throughout.

it was a poor call but London scored off a penalty that never was too.

the watkins challenge? did you miss his leading elbow as he was landing?

Don't have a treble win to concern yourself with?

I like how you're implying it's unfair that Bradford didn't get home advantage for beating Salford. The reason you didn't get home advantage was because you were thrashed by us at Belle Vue and couldn't even beat Halifax.

Hmmmm, H/T - Batley 2- Huddersfield 48.

Diddums. My heart bleeds. Didn't they even put on a pre match "monkey on a quad bike doing juggling tricks whilst waving his sponge fingers to the sound of woolly bully" for you?

nothing wrong with it. it was a fair challenge for the ball

The next 2 fixtures will be massive for Leigh.
A win or even a draw and it could mean they sit in a very comfortable position.

I wasn't moaning about it just stating its not an enjoyable experience.

A bit like kissing your wife.

No but you were moaning about it being unfair that Bradford didn't get home advantage despite being thrashed by the team who did have home advantage.

It's a cracker.....

No I wasn't.

Please point out where or stop talking garbage.

Bradford did beat Salford. Wakefield didn't beat a superleague team and Wakefield ended up with home advantage. That's not moaning it's staring a fact.

In relation to Leigh it doesn't mean they're up simply by beating a superleague team. A championship team has to play 4 superleague teams a superleague team has to play 3.

It's simple maths. If Leigh beat the other championship teams they have to play and pick off another superleague team they go up automatically. Fairness doesn't come into it it's mathematics.

In your own words, "Bradford thrashed Salford last year and didn't even get home advantage. That's where the disadvantage for Champipnship sides comes in. Bradford beat one SL team Wakefield lost to all of them but got home advantage."

Sounds like a good old moan to me (and clearly to others as well judging by the responses in this thread).

You've quoted it and it's still not moaning. A superleague team plays 3 superleague teams and 4 championship teams. A championship team plays 3 championship teams and 4 superleague teams.


That is the disadvantage to championship clubs. Which means that Leigh beating one superleague team doesn't change much. They need to beat another (I think they will) and they are up.

Speaking from our experience last year we beat a superleague club but still didn't earn enough points to finish even fourth where that team hadn't beaten a superleague team.

It's not a moan it's a fact. The table doesn't lie you finish where you deserve to finish.

A bit like this year we've been awful and therefore didn't get into the top four. We didn't deserve to be there. It's ok though because that was enough for Hull KR and Huddersfield to sign all our players so they're their problem next year.

Yeah but if you had beaten all the championship teams you would have had home advantage but you didn't so you can't moan really

Completely missed the point which is a shame. Not as big a shame as your mum missing her period though.

Nice...just feel all this crap with middle 8s is nothing but complicating a simple game. .bottom goes down top of northern ford/championship goes up.premiership style play offs job done ..

I'd stop digging personally.

So assuming 10 points is enough for auto-promotion, and assuming Leigh beat Batley...

.. They effectively have now given themselves 4 million pound games vs Hudds, Hull KR, Leeds (and MPG).

1 win v a SL team should promote them. Easy right?

We've signed ONE of your players. Have Hudds signed 20 odd?

A bit touchy tonight, aren't we?

Yeah, but she slapped his face

No - they almost doubled.
