Am I correct in thinking that a bonus point will do, if either Gateshead or Batley lose?

IAssuming they don't get a bonus point too!)

correct


COME ONNNN YOOOUUUUU LEIGHHHHHH

With three clubs all on 29 points and Leigh having the worst for/against figures (-179) against Batley -(8icon_cool.gif and Gateshead (-103), I would think that Leigh would have to beat Haven by at least 75 points to have a chance. Gateshead are playing Doncaster this weekend and that should be a walkover for them. Batley are away to Featherstone but who knows what result that will bring. It will certainly be a cloise call for Leigh to stay up this time around.

Not a lot changed with the Barrow result. We really need to win. However, if Batley and Gateshead also win, (a very high probabilty, the way it's going!) we're stuffed!

Gateshead will win and I suspect Batley may get a bonus point, although I can see Toulouse finishing in the relegation spot so we could go down in 9th.

Seems to me and I expect everyone else that we have to beat Whitehaven and Batley lose. I think our situation is dire and although I,ll still be there next season' Championship 1 doesn,t have too much appeal.

Trust me, most people watching rovers last few games would not, with any degree of confidence, predict a Fev win!!!

Some players appear to just want to get this season over with!!
Batley fighting, - will beat Fev!

Donny will be going 100% to beat Gateshead !
Come on you Dons !

With rumours of a few names coming in, do you think few of them have turned heads to desperately looking for new clubs? Could be a telling factor!

almost certainly!!

Frank, you are missing the point. If Batley lose (or Gateshead) we don't need to win-just get a bonus point!

Well a bonus point for Batley and the same for us and it's good night Vienna

That has made a massive difference - took the destiny out of our own hands

And to think we went to Barrow not long ago and got absolutely hammered. That result and the one at Halifax have really cos us dear in terms of points difference.

there is a lot more in the season that cost us rather than 2 high scoring wins against us

I understand that I was merely making the point to back up an earlier statement about our points difference.

....but if in one of those games (or indeed we picked up a bonus point) destiny would still be in our own hands.

But I guess that Batley and Gateshead could say that for one of their losses which did not yield a bonus point

If I could pinpoint a few key things, it would be those 2 hammerings, a 15 minute first half spell at home to Batley, and Watsons injury at home to Barrow.

Thats 4 more points to the total and a points 'credit'of maybe 100.

The biggest pointer to our failings this year is our abject failure to put Doncaster to the sword a few weeks back

The lack of bonus points has also cost us. Sheffield have lost 9 games but got 9 bonus points.

If we'd done that we'd have been top 6

scorers by a big margin

If you cannot score , you lose , we had easily enough possession and position to win on monday , but we could not convert that into points

Hence why we are where we are , at this moment we are the 2 nd worse team in the comp

Yet our 5 BP's is better than:-

Barrow, Halifax and Batley (4); Toulouse and Whitehaven (3); Gateshead (1) and Featherstone - amazingly (0) - according to the RFL website.

But we do have 5 BP which is n`t too bad..........I`d ve much preferred a few more wins but you can`t have everything.........

Thanks for the ' boost ' robin

aye it's a ball ache!
Leigh is a team I've always had a soft spot for! But honestly, if you'd have watched our last few weeks performances you would not put any confident money on fev!

Been there with Fev 4 years ago. It feels like the @rse drops out of your world going down, but we -re-grouped and come back stronger.

Leigh will spend no more than 1 season in Ch1!
