We have a few deluded and a few who mine urine, Salford will be strong favourites because of £2m squad, top 4 SL and in rich form - but if Leigh turn up and the game flows it will be very interesting

Unfortunately circa £450k of that squad will be out injured/suspended but we will still be favourites.

How did Gaz go yesterday? Seen a couple of pictures, looks like he's added a few pounds since his Salford release.

Well he scored two tries and his offloading was superb. When he gets match fit which will take about 12 days I think he will be a brilliant addition to our very strong squad.

On another matter we Leythers like to big up our chances against Super league sides because we think it encourages fans of the superleague club to attend the match.

Leigh by 24

Leigh by 18 MOM McNally

Needed the hit up, but he can add something extra to the squad when fully fit - especially in the 8's. Rowley will be using him in a different way which should keep him interested

what does your away stand hold? Because as of today we've already sold over half of its capacity.

It holds double what you've sold

Leigh by 6-10pts,back It on the handicap coupon [Newshy nose Hopefully will pay around 10-1. As for "crowds".Leigh v Bulls 7,500.Reds v Pies 6,500,(on a bank holiday) ,and Mr Noble was there and said it was a FULL HOUSE.

Good, I am pleased, a little bit of stirring the pot might get a good few Salford fans down here.

Away end holds 2100 (I think) ask Charlie - he knows.

Looking forward to a great atmosphere, hope the game lives up to it.

Good post SaleSlim...

There's not many who think we are Top 4 SL material, a few might think we are even SL ready now, but we are not.

However, if we secure a spot for 2016 & PR & the Directors buy well, Centurions could well be aiming for top 8, hell... we.could replace 1 or 2 now & SL might be better for it.

I think that many SL Club fans think that the gulf is too wide for Championship teams to compete, but maybe they don't realise just how much the Championship has improved.

There are still probably only 4 stand out Clubs, Leigh, Bradford, Eagles & Fax or Fev & only Leigh & Bradford capable of doing anything in the middle 8's.

Good win at the weekend Slim... Hope you enjoy the trip down the East Lancs.

It's nice to see Leythers who have faith in Charlie's knowledge

I have been involved with many buildings and erections over the years the Carolis put the foundations in for the Leaning Tower of Pisa I counted 2,237 seats in the South Stand ,I can't see the Man c unions needing any more than this, I hope this helps Ste?

Cheers Charlie...

Wind them up & they will come

Unfortunately Charlie doesn't know, as he embarrassingly predicted Salford wouldn't pick up a single point over the Easter weekend. Whoops..

well they were only playing Wigan to be fair!

I quite agree with some of your post but who exactly do we need to give respect to ....and why? Do you think we need to respect you because you're a SL club and we're just a lowly second tier one? Should we be doffing our caps the the big man upstairs then wait patiently to have our s spanked before saying 'thank you very much kind Sir' - is that what you mean?

Didn't you say Hock wouldn't be playing?

No and you know it isn't. The way a lot of your fans are going on you're going to hammer us and that's just sheer stupidity/delusion. Anyone in their right minds would predict a close encounter but you've got idiots on here, and on our board, quoting Leigh wins by 20, 30, 40 points. If that happens we've had a seriously bad day at the office. Maybe it's just unfortunate that some of your more vocal fans (Charlie) also appear to be gobshoites!

I'd be telling our own fans the same if they were spouting the same nonsense but I think they all know how tough a draw this is. Even our own numpties aren't making any wild claims of taking you to the cleaners.

I'll tell you one thing though, this will be a belter and the atmosphere should be something special.

So whats the final score for you?

No idea! If I had to put money on it I'd say Salford by 10-12. If either team wins by more I'd expect it to be Salford being the (currently in-form) SL team. A narrow Leigh win wouldn't be a huge shock but I'd be disappointed given our recent run of form. If we can withstand the early Leigh barrage and get our noses in front by more than 6-8 I'd expect us to see the game out as even with injuries & bans I think the boys will be very confident after the Easter wins.

If the game was being played at the AJ Bell I'd be very confident.

I agree with your thoughts on how this game should pan out, but don't expect Leigh to fade. The vast majority of their points have come in the second half of games when (admittedly part-time Championship teams - with the exception of Bradford and London) have faded.

Have too agree with Manc sh**house!! Done of our fans are going very overboard and a little too confident we are coming across as very arrogant!! As it is I think we will by 8! But people saying we will smash them just makes us look daft!! It will be a class day class atmosphere and a very good game either way!!! Think a lot of people underestimate Salford man for man they compete with any sl team!!

I actually think it might be Leigh that will be withstanding the early Salford barrage (similar to the Bradford match).

But as long as we get to grips with the match sooner than we did in the Bradford match then we'll see a great game.

I'm assuming that's aimed at me so thanks for the compliment!

I'm actually a Salfordian but had to change my username thanks to a rather zealous Wiggin mod that banned me a couple of years back for questioning his "authoritan"

! As it stands, I'm just hoping we get through the Leeds match this weekend unscathed. I'm expecting to lose that one as it may be one game too far for us after 2 gruelling matches against Hudds and Wiggin. If we pick up any more injuries/suspensions we could be down to the bare bones for the match at the LSV which would be a shame. Both teams at full strength would give us a fair indication of exactly where we both stand in our development and gives neither chance to use injuries/suspensions as excuses for defeat.

At the minute we'll be missing the following......

Chase - suspended
Hauraki - suspended

J Griffin - injured (broken foot)
Paterson - injured (knee)
A Walne - injured (?)
J Walne- injured (?)
Lee - injured (?)

Not sure how many of the injured players we can expect back but we should have cover in the backs. Lose any more of our pack and we could be looking at drafting in 1 or 2 of the u19's for a bench spot.

Im sure Derek B can contact the Doc and set up a dual contract to help you out we.ve plenty lads wanting a game .....
