KR AT LSV

Good draw that - put a good marker down, should win but up against a team that will be full of confidence

Salford v Toronto should be interesting

Coming off the back of a trip to Toulouse on Easter Monday means you guys should win at a canter.

Happy with that draw. They'll bring a decent following and will have a point to prove. Should be a good game.

If they show 2 games as they normally do, I'd say it'll be ourselves against KR and Salford v Toronto

I would take that as being more advantageous to you..Increasing intensity levels as taking you out of normal routine. Plus we will be coming off the back of Salford away,Hull at home easter program..

Checked with RFL. There is NO Sky game in fifth round - the BBC will however stream another match. Up to 11 televised games after fifth

Well, this is an interesting draw for Leigh. The reason being Jamie Peacock. If there is one man in RL who dislikes Leigh, and makes a poor job at covering it up, it is Jamie. A class player in his day, of that there is no doubt. Very successful and rightly so. As a person he is not so good when it comes to the subject of Leigh RL. This all goes back to the Challenge Cup game at Headingley 2-3 years ago when Leeds Rhinos were nearly on the end of a shock defeat in front of their faithful supporters at the hands of Leigh. Following on from the bust-up on the pitch with Matt Sarsfield he had nothing but negative things to say about Leigh. If I remember rightly he slagged us off by saying that we weren't going to win games by fighting. Forget the fact Jamie that it was 12-12 until the 73rd minute and Leigh having 'bombed' a couple of good opportunities at 12-12.
Nowadays, whenever he is asked to comment on Leigh (See the SL Show after the Wigan game a few weeks ago and his response to Tanya Arnold's question, "and what about Leigh?"icon_wink.gif he simply deflects the question and carries on talking about Wigan, something he had been doing for the previous minute of highlights.
The fact that we helped to send HKR into the Championship last year will all add to his dislike.
There is no doubt in my mind that he will relish this tie and want to win this game more than ever. Not just because it's the Challenge Cup or because he wants to see what level HKR are at currently. It will be because it's Leigh. I hope we are fired up for this tie because we will need to be.

Yup, he's defo not a Leigh fan. Also given that Leigh went vertical as he and Hull KR exceptionally bombed last year.

Good luck. I'm sure all the Black and Whites will be cheering you on!!

Its amazing how you feel the need to come on another teams board to post negatively about a team who are in a different division. You seem to be a bit obsessed with Hull KR

Back on Topic. I'm hoping we run you close but can't see past an easy win for Leigh.

Peacock may not be a Leigh fan, I have never really cared much for Hull KR either.

It's a tricky tie and we will need to be on top of our game as we were against St.Helens, Warrington and Huddersfield recently.

They (like Leigh when also in the championship) have a great following and will sure add to the atmosphere and occasion. We should win, but they will be more than up for it. An intriguing game in prospect.

Hope Hicks not the ref he's the worst ref in League, terrible at the Catalans Saints gaime.

He's been demoted this week to a championship game. KR v Fax

He didn't do a bad job for you lot in the Middle 8s game at KR last year. Two team warnings in a row and no sin binning.

I take it the club will want to play this match on the Saturday at 6 pm as we play the previous Easter Monday, and then at St.Helens the following Friday. Will we have problems again with this kick off time with 'Elf and Safety?

If you have to get us to agree to play Saturday then i can't see it happening. We will want as long as possible after the away game in France.

CL is referring to what time kick off is! Should it be on the Saturday..If Saints can do Catalans in and out in a day,what's your issue?

Hold on I think you've got something on your shoulder! I doubt he gives a shiny one either way about Leigh RLFC and doubt he'll even remember a game from 3 years ago although you still seem bitter about it. No disgrace losing to the eventual winners!

Nothing on his shoulder,and no bitter about it either. Peacock just hates Leigh,full stop.

I think Jamie Peacock got drawn into the realms of .."We are SL you can't beat us"...Now being in a different scenario he has to think!

Hull KR = the last thing we need at present

Yes poor pundit in my view as are a number of those used by the BBC. Earl Crabtree was equally poor and suggested that Huddersfield were the better team when we nilled them recently. Similar to Peacock he says Leigh are just aggressive - Noble yesterday gave a more balanced view. Looking forward to HULL KR game they are great supporters and the teams are evenly matched IMO.

Why - keeps the intensity going, play a few fringe players (Foster??, Hood may well be back by then, Ridyard

)
