| Quote ="underthesticks"Fev and Leigh are both obviously beltin sides. Fev have been amazingly consistent at this level over two seasons now and despite being hammered at Leigh in the Northern Rail group stages last year and coming up short in terms of winning the Grand Final and the Northern Rail, they obviously had the edge over Leigh last year. This season, I believe that Leigh have the slight edge so far. Obviously, Leigh have only lost one game at this level of rugby in the entire season. They won every single group game in the Northern Rail and then of course won the trophy, so never lost in that competition. Both Leigh and Fev played top five sides in the challenge cup. I think Fev lost 70 0 and I think Leigh lost about 22 16. At this level, Fev have I think lost about three games and Leigh have lost one. Fev have also not managed to beat Leigh this season and would have perhaps found the Easter Monday encounter more challenging, had they too only had just 2 full days rest prior to that. Fev fans will naturally point to the fact that they had injuries in the opening match of the league campaign and Leigh fans to the fact that they had injuries in the Easter Monday match and had had very limited rest, whilst Fev players had had their feet up. Both are probably valid arguments. However, what was impressive about Leigh, was that they still did not lose the match and if anything, remarkably, looked fitter and fresher than their opponents, going into the final quarter of the match. Fev are the benchmark as they have been consistent over a longer period than other teams and I would love Leigh to be able to replicate what they have achieved next year. I admire Powell as a coach and I really admire the honesty of the Fev team and their work ethic. Leigh and Fev set an example to many Super League teams in that respect. As many people have said, there is not a lot between the teams and the forthcoming encounters should be crackers. Both sides have faced adversity during the season, in terms of injuries and bans for key players and of course Leigh's off field issues have been well documented. All that is of course just part and parcel, unfortunately of rugby league.'"
although this is from a Leigh perspective (as mine was from Fev's), this is a good post.
I suspect that this debate will go on regardless of who wins the GF!!! Absolutely nowt between the two teams. |

| Quote ="Rotherham Fev Fan"FB&B, do you really, honestly deep down think Ian Millward and the Leigh squad are guilty of complacency??? Cos I don't. Not a bit of it.
Millward is an experienced and shrewd coach and has a proven track record for winning.
'"
RFF complacency is probably too strong a word so I accept that,but we beat Halifax 3 times last year and Im sure that we (the team) went into that game with a little part of us thinking that it was going to be easier than it was, by virtue of what had gone before interms of results....its human nature !...
I would probably have been better using the term over confident due to previous results rather than complacency.
I dont doubt Millward and his side are a cracking team but I don't buy into the theory that we can not beat them.
Just my opinion and everyone is welcome to it. and is worth buggger all boys but its an opinion non the less.........
I BELIEVE |

We can all debate the pro's and con's of each team, but how good would it be if the final at Wire is Leigh-Fev, both fully fit and a full house?
Bet the bookies would have the handicap at scratch.
