In the cup game our forwards were comfortably a match for theirs. The real damage was done by Campese and Kelly. Stop Kelly kicking at all costs. Mantellato got 4 tries.......mainly from accurate kicking and his height is a problem. Strangely, next time we play them its possible that only Gaskell will feature from the backs that played that day.
I'm sure Leigh will know how to stop Kelly playing.

People said we were a one man team when campese was playing then when he got injured we won 4 on the trot now they say we're a one man team because of Kelly the fact is were inconsistent but we have beaten Wigan twice wire twice St. Helens Catalans twice so we're not to bad just hope the rovers who did that turn up

Funny how no one on RL fans actually said that at the time or since. Salford were so decimated with injuries and suspensions they were in 4th place in Super League and the on form team at the time. And Wakey only managed to spank us when we handed them the ball at half way on the 3rd tackle every set, once we stopped doing that we got on top easy and no amount journey men just looking for something to do to pass the time till the end of the season will change that for them.

Truth is Leigh are a Super League team in all but name, if you actually watched some rugby you'd be able to see that clearly.

I think most rovers fans know what to expect next week and it won't be a stroll in the park

For me HKR were very good yesterday but Wire had only one player in the pack, Hilly. I thought Anthony England and Ashton Simms were not at the races.

If your happy to watch your side in the championship next year then fill yer boots squire.
Fwiw we have only signed one player the rest are replacements for those that have left, not sure if it's in the spirit of the game though turning out with seventeen players.


We won't be playing in superleague at Dewsbury but thanks for your best wishes anyway.
Not sure what your comment is about respecting other peoples achievements as there has not been a comment made on this thread by a Wakefield fan, btw just remind me what achievements you are referring to.

Funny how they all wanted to leave at the same time. Incidentally when have they all signed till....the end of 2017...2016....Or the end of the this season. My other advice is read the thread.

Wire rely on Hill and Simms too much for there go forward,and there kicking game was way off.They kicked to the tallest guy on the park all the time and he handled it,scored a try and won mom.They put one bomb up into the middle towards Dixon who didn't want anything to do with it,but they didn't continue with it.

Stop kidding yourself, Brian Smith has got rid of 8 or 9 players he did not rate, and replaced them. Good luck with your NEW side.

You're right, you are a very good team and a joy to watch. however if a good Leigh team turn up on Saturday, we are in for an absolute cracker. I must also add that i really hope we don,t have that incompetent referee Child, because it will spoil it for everyone including rugby league.

Is that 10 then now chissit. Simon Grix on loan......but its over a week since the 24/07 deadline?

Paea - Gone
Ryan - Gone
Collis - Gone
Sammut - Gone
McShane - Gone
D Smith - Gone
Kirmond - season over
Howarth - Season over
Locke - season over?
Owen - season over?
Funny for you maybe but not for us, only Moore and Mullaley are on loan the rest will be with us next season there's also the possibility Moore may be with us next season as well, seeing as we are giving out advice here's a bit for you squire, when sticking your nose into other clubs affairs get your facts right first, or you'll end up looking a pr@t again, incidentally I notice you've gone quiet on those achievements I enquired about

If you say it's 10 then I'll take your word for it, you are after all the expert on our signings.
As you say it's over a week since the deadline signings, maybe it's not occurred to you just yet that he may have signed before the deadline as neither club announced the signing, but don't let that get in the way of your conspiracy theories.
Talking of theories, I hope you don't think we've signed all those players in an attempt to stay in superleague at your expense

It should hopefully be a cracker... From what I have seen of Leigh they have played some really good attacking stuff too - You really remind me of the season we went up, playing the game with confidence and a lack of fear and that makes you dangerous.

I think whichever team can get the defensive side of things right will be the winners on the weekend, but our away form combined with your very good home form mean that although I believe we can win, I certainly don't expect it!

For a team that has just about all season to plan for the middle 8's it does seem that Wakey do not appear to have done a lot of forward planning. It will usually take 3 or 4 new players a few weeks to gel its going to take 7 or 8 months.

Forward planning from a fax fan, your club weren't even planning to be in the middle eight's

Thanks for nice words about Saturday. Leigh this year are pretty similar to us in 06 and we can appreciate what it's like to come back from teetering on the brink so well done to Leigh for that.
As for Saturday, I think you'll see pretty good numbers travelling over to continue the feel good factor that Saturday has brought. Think the game could go either way, you might see Rovers on the crest of a wave or there might be a few eyes on Wembley already. To be honest I would expect Widnes to reap the benefits of that due to people being rested and then Wakey the week after the final. It's a massive game for both teams on Saturday, Leigh have an opportunity to lay down a marker against the team favourites to come through the middle 8s and a win for Rovers should just about see us through what with the 4 home games to come.
Should be a good day regardless.

You have mistaken our club for opposition fans.

Not sure how a thread about Hull KR has been hijacked by Wakey and Halifax but there ya go



I think Saturday is a big game, and I don't think there will be a cup hangover as such from Rovers, I firmly believe we will turn up and showcase a good performance and wins/momentum is key leading upto Wembley. As alluded to, it'll be maybe the week before the CC final that might be a flat performance.
Both teams need to win this one and i'm looking forward to renewing that 'friendly' Leigh/Rovers rivalry we had from years back!!

There's your offending post squire, If you can be bothered to read the thread from the beginning you'll notice no Wakefield fan had posted on here until that bitter insecure poster above decided to include us HTH.

Its because out of hundreds and thousands of Hull Kr fans, only a couple of them have internet.



Tongue in cheek obviously as I like Rovers I think our partnership has worked well this year and as long as rovers do not go back on their word to give us 2 points in the 8's as long as they are safe Im sure it will continue to flourish.

The Bulls have a similar arrangement with Brian Smith at Wakey whereby they will donate the 2 points.

Chissit = the perfect example of a touchy fan. Would make a very poor fish. Don't need to list records and achievements cause everyone else has seen them.

Anyone know how ticket sales are going for Saturdays game?
I realise we are expecting a big crowd but for the cup game v Salford talk was already emerging about how many tickets Salford and ourselves had sold to give an idea of whether it was worth pre purchasing to get in the North stand.

The thing with these middle eights is that four teams are there because they haven't been playing well enough and the other four are there because they have been playing well and should be full of confidence, I'm a Rovers fan but I'm expecting some tough games and don't expect a walk in the park at all.
