Not happy if true, and you can guarantee Sky and the RFL will be miffed to say the least!

Why didn't they juggle the team for the Town game on Sunday instead??

Goodluck i want to play Leigh in the semi final.

Do you not want to get to Wembley

We owe you one after all the misery in the Championship.

Runs always come to an end.

lets see what happens on Friday we could all be jumping the gun and putting 2 and 2 together and making 5

reading the statement back we could be resting players for the Halifax game :-0

Lets get to Leeds and support the team i know its a very small chance but in rugby anything can happen

Well if we think we are capable of getting into the top league we should play our best side every week imo.

I think our club is playing mind games here.

Well i have every comfidence in pr, and he will do what is right for us. No matter our team, they will play with Pride, Passion and a desire ALL players who pull on the leigh jersey demonstrate each and every time they run out, fri will be no different.

agreed

The RFL should have allowed Keighley and ourselves to play over August bank holiday, SL have no fixtures this weekend. I will be at Leeds shouting for my team which I am expecting to lose heavily but show character whoever pulls the shirt on

Heard today that Leigh have signed former player Kevin Ashcroft from the Centurion on a one match loan deal to smash the Leeds pack up lol

Charlie, I was hoping for Warrington in the semis and thumping Wiggin at Wembley :O)

Whoever plays wont let us down
Let's wait and see
We name out 19 man squad tommorrow

Leigh will definitely play strongest team. Don't you think the players will be raring for a go at Leeds - especially Acton!! He'll be tapping them all on the head :O) They won't let the fans, players or the town down. And with a 16 match unbeaten run, they aren't going to raise the white flag by putting a weakened team out.

We will match them in the forwards with Barlow, Hopkins, Spencer, Emmitt, Acton, Goulden, Haggerty etc - none of them will take a backward step but it is the extra fitness levels and the speed of their backs that will cause the problems. I am quite sure that Leigh will put up a very creditable performance.

If we were going to rest players for the Leeds game, then it would be a the likes of Littler and Aspinwall with all their bags of experience who would have to slot right in. The fact that they have been allowed to go out on loan and therefore not considered tells me all I need to know.

I read into the statement that during the 8 days period and immediately thought we would make some changes and rest a few for Halifax. Can't believe all the hullabaloo. I will bet a few bob that we will play our strongest team v Leeds and give a few a hard earned rest on Wednesday and back for Barrow.

If Wigoon can manage it so can we.

Should be a full strength team v Leeds. We are so far in front in the league we can afford to lose against Halifax anyway. We only need to win NINE more matches to guarantee a top two finish (and that doesn't include bonus points and assumed Doncaster will win every game).

League is far more important than the cup. Having said that, we are live on national TV. It is more important for the growth of the club that the team put on a show for the watching Leigh public. If they can come away from Headingley with praise from, not only dumb and dumber on SKY TV, but the rest of the watching public. This would be a better advertisement to entice the leigh public down to the LSV than any of the half brained marketing ideas trumpeted by some on here.

Ryan Brierley's tweet a few minutes ago indicates he at least will be playing Friday.

But then they come to the fax game, we get beat and they don't come again. That's how fickle the Leigh public are.
Whatever happens Friday we MUST win home games.

Well my view is' like most clubs if not all' that Licencing cost us fans.

You can't take a game like RL seriously when promotion and relegation to the top league are not possible and top clubs are ring fenced.

No point in going into further detail but history speaks volumes and folk learn from that.

Our clubs gates are up 25 % this season. Why ? Most of that increase have got the habit back and if our lads put in a decent display on Friday they will of course want us to beat Fax the following Wednesday but if they only win narrowly or lose they will take the Leeds game factor into account.

Competition is as healthy for commerce as it is for professional sport and monopolies do not work and never will. I am just surprised the RFL did not realise that when they introduced licensing.

Whatever happens with our next two results our crowds will continue to grow imo for the rest of this season.

The players have already had a rest !!!

That 2nd half v workington was a shocker !!! lol

Got to play our strongest team poss on Friday there will be a lot of eyes on us Friday to see what all the hype is about leigh . We can ring the changes for fax end on the day I am sure we can get at least a bp with a few changes on Wednesday and that wouldn't be the end of the world.. Fax will be coming strong and on the back of a ten day rest.

We have to play our best team on Friday for the good of our club and the Championship,this is the biggest platform we have been on for ages,the Friday night Sky game has by far the biggest TV viewing figures.

Imagine we lose by a massive score and look totally out of our depth it will not take long for SL club Directors to stick the knife in and knowing the RFL pull the drawbridge back up again re us or teams like Leigh getting into SL.

We will probably lose by 20 plus points at least but if we can compete for part of the game,let our forwards get stuck in and show real spirit,I for one will be a very proud Leyther.

It was discussed on SL backchat, they were saying they could not understand why we would play a weakened team. Keighley considering doing likewise, but they are in a far different place league wise than us.
