After today's performance I think we may not be far off we looked very quick with ball in hand and defence was good think riddy is playing his best rugby for years. We had a few players missing at the end for the trophy presentation not to bothered about Kay but where was hock .

Tony the answer is a resounding YES ,we CAN do it, let's not get carried away though, granted today was another good all round display,the Nil pleased me as well, I thought McNally and Higgy both had good games , our halves are looking very good, and our pack is very good.Where is Hock?The answer has to be we can't play them all, it's a great position to be in,with Hock , Mitch Brown , and maybe another signing?I'm sure Fax and Bradford would love to be in our position,but they do have an 8's Comp of their own to compete in.Don't forget let me know if you want a lift away.Charlie knows.



.

Hock is supporting a sick member of his close family I understand, our thoughts are with you Gaz

Dawson put in a good stint at first receiver and if we had players who can pass left he may have joined the try fest. Ridyard was the main man today.

As a pi55ed off Bradford supporter, first congratulations on the season, I really thought with the Rowley issue and Brierley one, there was a risk you'd self implode, but your coach held it together really well, and good luck in the 8's, I hope you really mix it up there, I fancy an mpg between you and Huddesfield, and I think you have a really good chance in a one off game against them.

Thanks for that and good luck for the future, I felt you would be a serious threat in the 8's so am happy Fev are in but stay close to your club as the next weeks may be grim

kr fans recon they will beat you.i hope you prove them wrong .good luck

We are in a great position to go to Superlegue, but its the intensity we need, we are not used to it, Dewsbury were no threat today.
Even thought our pack is dominant in the championship? We will not have that luxury playing against the bottom teams of SL

And a lot of Leigh fans think they will beat us what's your point

How many of them have actually seen us play I wonder ?

JJ you are quite right to say we have not had the intensity yet, however we have players who have already been there, so i don't have a problem with that side of it.

His point is he'll think we'll beat you.

Ridyard's all round game was top notch. He ran the show for me. He appears in fine fettle as well coming into a very important set of games.

Our team has made strides over the last couple of months - I just hope it is enough to give us a chance in the 8's. It is going to be tough, though. Let's not kid ourselves.

I believe the bottom four of SL will have an extra gear in them if needed. So the question is, how will we respond to that?

I think the mighty Leigh will go up, the SL teams don't know what to expect and the lads have saved the best till last. Leeds will finish top but it's all to play for, especially at LSV in front of the greatest fans on the planet.

If I am being realistic, the MPG will be our best shot at it. If we can force the venue of that match to be played at LSV then all the better. That in itself will be a bonus.

IMO, Leeds will romp it. So in that respect I am pleased they do not form the oppositon as one of our 4 home games. Home wins will be key.

Lets also not underestimate the task we face at Post Office Road either. To not only stop Bradford from winning their must win match, but to even stop them registering a single point is quite remarkable. Indeed we only just managed to claim the 2 points in our game there as well in a very evenly contested match.

We must not be under any illusions. The hard work isyet to begin for us.

Fev will be missing a number of DR from Leeds won't they, surely the rules don't allow you to play for both teams in the 8s

Let's hope the idiotic fans who go around all the SL teams message boards, keep their traps shut and don't go spouting how "The mighty Leythers are going to smash their team". Although I can't see them showing an ounce of humility knowing their previous form.

Jukesy has let the cat out of the bag on Radio Manchester that we are playing Salford at home a week on Saturday. So much for the hoped for gentler introduction against a championship side!!

It will be on sky too.

I'll make that one before i fly to Spain if that's the case.

Lets hope the week after is a championship club. Imperative we get points on the board early.

Well if the fixtures alternate home and away (like they should do) the schedule should look like this:-

Salford (H), Leeds (A), London (H), Hull KR (A), Hudds (H), Fev (A), Batley (H)

So no champ side till round 3 - 1 week earlier than last year though!!

Hi Charlie, I would really love Leigh to finish top of the 8's as you predicted on the Fax board but sadly the best I feel you can hope for is promotion through the MPG.

BFG now I get it

you will have me down as predicting RM for Coach of the year next

.I HAVE said Leigh and Fax are not in the same League anymore.

Leigh finish top of the 8's? Deary me, I doubt any Leigh fan worth his salt would remotely suggest so.

Not even the most delusional of delusional amongst us.

That explains it then.
