well said Ian, I know its only wind up tactics but we already have our fair share of pond life SL supporters posting tripe on our pages - gets tedious. Anyway, like you said should be a great game, be a great yardstick to see how far you guys have come. Enjoy the day fellas.

Cheers REDRUM hope you enjoy your trip to the LSV.

Fax Boys The players you name number 5 from a squad of 17

as for our forwards not playing well the Fax pitch that day was like a Ploughed Field ,the pitch at the LSV is like a Snooker Table also guys like Fui were very cold , it's April now and you will see a big difference in the Leigh pack ,so will Fax when they come to the LSV in May.Charlie knows Fax Boys knows.

Finally! A post with knowledge..

Yep, as a leigh fan I agree with that. BUT, he should have walked. I remember McDermott retaliating and smacking everyone in sight playing for Bradford v Leeds. Result - red card. Let's, hope no dirty scumbag tries to break a leg whilst held!

I think we will lose this with the injuries and bans. Should be a cracking match but wish we were at full strength'

I wish we were at full strength too. I guess that's what squads are for.

This from the head coach of the club that has employed Ryan Bailey ( and others just as bad ) for the whole of his career ?

Pan,kettle,black

When McDermott took over at Leeds,having arrived from London,the club your coach Rowley doesn't want to exist,Bailey was already there.McDermott just coached Bailey to more honours.

Your coach Rowley has just signed Hock.

Birds of a feather...

Completely different scenario for Leigh this season..As you will find out on Sunday.

'"

Of course - Its all over - suppose the Devils dont need even to turn up?

Just checked with the Bookies - Leigh are 100/1 for the Cup and Salford are 16/1 - so maybe we should turn up after all.

That's because they are assuming that we get Leeds in the Final!



Seriously though, Salford must be significant favourites next Saturday. (there's obviously a reason they are currently so high in SL - it's certainly not a fluke) Yet the magic of the Cup, what little there's left of it in the Challenge Cup, suggests that an upset just may be possible.

Here's to a great game, and a big crowd, which would also buck Challenge Cup trends.

Has the foundations for a great game and spectacle for RL in general.

My bias and with the current team stature (SL, form and squad) I sway to Salford but on the day being at Leigh could go either way as weve found out previously.

Just hope the players put on a show and both sets of fans behave themselves.

Good post & probably accurate Diggler.

I would think Salford will edge this one 5 tries to 3 or 6 to 4 maybe.
As a Leigh fan, of course I would love a home win, but being realistic it is doubtful.

Hopefully the team can show the wider Rugby family just how far they have come & just how good they are, thereby maybe attracting new sponsors or increased sponsorship for future seasons.

I hope the TV coverage doesn't affect the attendance to much & that many of you get down here to boost the atmosphere. With any luck we could see 6 to 7,000 on for this one, more likely 5 to 6k.

Here's to a great match.

It's going to be a great game, but i hope you guy's sneak it. Leigh fans are becoming intolerable

I agree. They've had one and a bit good seasons and you'd think they had been worldbeaters for years. Their arrogance and boastfulness knows no bounds.

Fev fans didn't behave like that when they were by far the best team in the Championship for 4 or 5 years.

Request to the Moderators: can we bin the Scarlet Turkey title and call this forum Virtual Terrace 2?
I'm off to the Leeds site to post comments on Wigan fans at the v Catalan game. It's the new fashion.

There's absolutely no way Leigh can win this one. Salford will win this game by more than 30 points because your position in SL dictates that you're at least that much better than Leigh. If you win by less than 30 points I reckon most of you will be embarrassed - I know I would be.

Being embarrassed is a very typical part of the Salford fan's kit, it sits with being depressed, being let down, being upset, and being stressed. Also found is the feeling we are not glory hunters, on being able to ignore which team is fashionable, and knowing we are true fans who do not need a drum or fawning from the media.

Totally right mate. In fact, if Salford don't win by more than 30 then Leigh should get a bye to the final, we should be thrown out of Superleague, all of Lowry's paintings should be burnt in a massive bonfire and Mark E Smith should be publicly flogged outside Captain Cod on Eccles Old Road.

Its a lose, lose for Salford whatever the result of this one. Win and everyone will say we should have won anyway, scrape through and people will congratulate Leigh and slate Salford and god forbid should we lose we'll be the laughing stock of Super League.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'll also be glad once its done and dusted.

I`ll settle for the win ,I remember Leigh giving Leeds a run for their money in the cup last year.
