Never easy there. Lets hope we get there in big numbers. Superleague beckons.

Be there for our lads.

Agreed its a must win game, today was a bonus lets enjoy it, but it has to be backed up with another 2 hard earned points.

Definitely big numbers, Dawson 40 & Brown 41.

Some people do not go to away games, for various reasons. I urge everybody to make the effort if u can to get over to fev, and cheer this wonderful group of players on.

Monster game, beat fev and you'll be assured MPG, beat batley MPG at home, then 1 more SL team and you'll be promoted. Lose to fev and it's MPG at best. I wish you luck because I think as a club you've gone about your business so much different this year, focused on the task at hand, have peaked at the right time and only really took it week by week. I was at Blackpool so experienced the leigh fans who will add good numbers to SL (and beer sales) compared to a few in the middle 8s but a quality side too.

Bit rubbish those assumptions...especially the one about beer sales .......#LighweightLeighDrinkers

When I first saw the games, I was very worried about this game as I thought it was a possible banana skin for us if we were not at our best. I still see this as one of our big challenges but I'm confident that Neil Jukes will have the lads primed and ready to go. He has shown over the season but especially the last few weeks that he and his coaching team know who to select and how to get the win from those selected.

And it could be even more significant if Fev can turn over Huddersfield today. 15 mins in and no score so unlikely but they are at least holding there own. Come on Fev !

What were you saying VL

Not sure 6 points will see us in MPG to be honest, you would expect thevSL teams to beat the weaker (no disrespect) 3 champ teams, not even sure 4 wins guarantee it but I'm sure someone will prove me wrong

The Fev game became less hazardous this afternoon, as did the Batley game, however the HKR & Giants games..............

Before the competition started the "Beat the championship teams and you'll make the mpg" is still a possibility for Fev

No reason we shouldn't come away with a win but we'll need to stay focused on the task

One game at a time

Explain ?

The two Championship teams will be less looking forward to playing Leigh after their drubbings today whilst the the SL teams will be a bit happier after dishing our the drubbings. I thought it was quite obvious.

Whatever happened today at Hudds I'm expecting a hard game at Fev next Sunday, I'm sure Jukesy and the Lads are expecting the same, teams seem to raise their game against us and im sure Sharpy will be telling the Fev lads this a chance for them to notch up a win.

Doubt it Reffy, players don't have a 'mindset' like us supporters do they. If Fev or Batley were playing (for example) Melbourne Storm next week, they will still be 'FIRED UP' and training their b@lls off prior to the game, and wanting to win, come kick off time. Don't know what happened to Batley at London today, I doubt it was down to their 'attitude'.

Or the Championship teams will be more desperate and the SL teams more complacent , it can work both ways reffy , we must approach all games with the same mindset , it will require our best to win , simple as , anything less and we will lose

Exactly this.
Train hard, play harder, all game every game, do that & we're in.

I am sure that our players want it, Riddy is a Leyther, Higham is a Leyther, the new boys Mitch, Josh, Dayne Train, Smith, H.H, Retiring Renie & Corey. Then there is AJ, Gaz, FFMM, Ben & Greg McNally etc.

To a man I would think this TEAM want & believe they are worthy of SL & so do I.

So as you say Starbug, treat every game like we treated Salford & we have every chance & they [icould[/i upset the apple cart again.

Reffy is simply talking about momentum. After two rounds, Leigh and Leeds have it, the rest don't. Will that matter in round 3? Who knows!

I came in from a night shift and was watching the live score update on the game instead of going to bed !. After 37 mins it all looked possible then 3 trys before half time by Hudds burst my bubble (46 min half !). Shows that they can be matched by a determined champ team (for a least almost a half), and maybe beaten by a full time, hungry, well coached Champ Team. If only we can find one

I'd say more hazardous. London will fancy their chances of beating a Super League side and getting to 3 wins, which along with points difference, would probably be enough if we lose this week.

What Batley suffered from was Soward (world class). We don't want to meet him in MPG - even if Wothington plays!

Theoretically you could need 4 wins to make the middle 8, normally 6 points would be enough (maybe with points difference) to make 5th and the MPG.

There are 28 games in the middle 8s therefore 56 on offer (the bottom 3 teams have to have a minimum of 6 of these points (three games that only include these teams), therefore the distribution could be 10, 10, 10, 10, 8, 6, 2, 0 for example and therefore 4 wins to get 5th. however the distribution is more likely to be something like 14, 12, 8, 8, 6, 6, 2, 0


Anyway safe journey over to anyone making the trip, hope we can get 4,000+ for the game.

Ambitious that. Especially as you seem to employ mathematically challenged counters when we visit

Not a shared gate this time though
