Francis , I said at the beginning of the Season we could afford to lose 3 League games and still finish top , I stand by that Prediction , if we beat Fev at the LSV later in the Season , its goodnight Irene for everyone .

Fax have already lost 5 games and still have to play Fev at the Shay ,Donny will lose a few more yet this season ,leaving only Fev as our danger ,Worky didn't play that bad yesterday ,Charlie knows , whatever team Rowls puts out at Headingley on Friday , they will do Leigh proud , im sure ,we then have 5 days to recover , its only the same as last season when we appeared on Premier Sports on the Thursday after a Sunday game .

Do not worry Francis , Irene is getting ready for bed

Your opinion is not bull Derek. It is important to point out that going all out to win at Leeds places a win against Halifax a week on Wednesday in jeopardy given that it will take so much out of the team and Halifax is a very short turn around.

However I am getting more excited about the Leeds match now and I think it is of equal importance we use this to showcase on the big stage what Leigh Centurions really are all about. To do that we have to simply target win number 17 as tough a task that will obviously be. It is all about 13 v 13 on the day, lets get stuck into them and enjoy it.

I can't wait for it, just need to work out how best to get up to Headingly.

I sorted a coach especially for you !!!!! And your lot Leaving at 5.20 are you not going on it now ?

Play the strongest team possible against Leeds, if necessary give some a rest for the Fax game, our squad players will see it as an opportunity to try and claim the shirt and perform accordingly.

That way we can therefore win both games.

Yes, all of our lot are still on it. I am just not 100% certain yet on the time I will leave work. Lostock lane is shut for bridge repairs and with road works in Westhoughton it is a bit of a nightmare getting back to Leigh.

Don't worry, I have a plan B up my sleeve.

I've not been able to get to the ticket office for a few weeks.
Can someone let me know if tickets are on sale at Leigh for the Leeds game and how much are they.
Can you pay on the gate?

Yes tickets are for sale in Leigh they're £20 got mine off the market.

Don't know about pay on the gate

Looks like Ablett and Hardaker of Leeds are up before the disciplinary committee this week. Perhaps they might be missing on Friday? Hope we play our strongest squad and go for it (anyone remember the QF win at the Boulevard in 86/87?)

Yes I do, 12-8 victors against all the odds. A brilliant game and I still remember the excitement of the journey home, aware that we were now in the semi final of the Challenge Cup and only 80 minutes away from Wembley.

In fact Leigh were very unlucky not to reach Wembley in 1987.

Not gonna happen but we can all dream
I would love to be proved wrong though lol

Leeds 68 Leyth 12

I don't for minute think Rowley will field a weakened team, I just don't think it's in his nature, nor do I think he should - and can you imagine him telling Ryan, Ridy, Kay, Spencer etc that they can't play on Friday? That would just be too cruel.

We need our strongest team on that field and we need to let our boys test themselves against a top team. If we go there and they put 60 past us, people won't think 'Oh that's only because Leigh put out a weakened team', they'll just think 'Shows how big the gulf between SL and the Championship still is'.

Good luck to the coach and team on Friday, here's hoping for a fantastic performance and no injuries.

I'll go for Leeds 26 Leigh 27 because Leeds will have an off day Leigh will be at their best and Kes will drop a goal 2 minutes from time.

Keighley in the semi or Widnes who cares.

You ca n
N wake up now Frank

Reckon Leeds are under more pressure than Leigh. They have injuries and were looking well shattered by the end of their match at Wire. Leigh have nothing to lose (except the cup tie!) and its a great showcase for the club. So good luck to the lads and congrats to the fans who are going. I'll be stuck in Kent, but glued to the telly for the first time this season.

Seems our reserves are playing now

Full time v part time, and best club in SL has to be a 42 point variance at least

we are full time according to Workington hahaa

And apparently, according to the same news(sic)paper, Workington were the first team to win a half against us this season


Obviously the Halifax & Dewsbury match reports didn't get as far as west Cumbria!

The i ones we heard laughed and said SL your having a laugh and your not very good saying your full time professionals !!!!!

...but have we lost a second half until Town?

Keighley ?
