Lets be honest here, after the brilliant day that was Sunday this draw is a bit like a kick in the nuts. The league is what we want.

Not much luck of the draw this time.
Worst possible team away from home for us to get in my opinion (can't remember ever seeing us beat Leeds !).
Having said that I'm certain it will end up being the SKY Friday game so we will need to do as much as possible to get our fans to invade Headingley in numbers as Leeds to give the lads the much needed backing.
This is the cup and its about time the competition had a big surprise to give it a timely kick start.

1971 Leeds where red hot favourites at Wembley the press more or less said it was a waste of time Leigh turning up Leeds thought all they had to dowas to turn up at Wembley and they would walk all over Leigh ...
WELL WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT SAT IN MAY 71

just got home from work to find out what the draw is. God must be a Rhino, thank you.

And what about the fans disrespecting the players?

Like the 3k you refer to above that are quite willing to attend the big cup games but desert the lads every other game of the season.

Forget your jolly day out in Leeds, we need them here every single game of the season if Leigh RL are to truly realise their ambition !

The lads deserve better .

This post has now convinced me we have to field our strongest available team and give them hell

I love the cup and the chance of playing a team you don't usually play and visiting some really old fashioned grounds.
Was pleased we got Leeds

We are a different team to the last time we played them. Still expect to lose by 30-40 but a great opportunity to showcase where we have got to and a great horde of travelling fans..

Instead of pulling this game to bits let's go and enjoy ourselves and let the lads have a good game of rugby on the day then we can get down to business, it's that simple really.

I don't believe some of our fans
It's a draw we got LEEDs away, let's go thre and give um a game and the lads get to pit themselves against the top of Super League.

get stuffed

It's another chance to show what our clubs about, we've been to Wakey, Bradford and Wigan, and walked away from them all with our heads held high, by the performance on and off the pitch.

Next stop Yorkshire cricket club.

Aye he is, he is praying for you

It is an ideal opportunity for some of the key players to test themselves against the best, the pack will be up for it and will probably hold their own for at least half a game before they run out of steam. Ryan against McGuire, AJ coping with Hall without being sent off and plenty more. It will be a benchmark for all the team and coaching staff. The fans will love it.

Who'll be opposite Watkins, Armstrong? Whoever it is will be in for a tough night, he is playing amazing this season. Gonna be a hell of a test this one. I think we can keep it respectable and the lads will be really fired up for it.

Should be a decent bit of money for the club too.

Yeah, lets not give them the chance to play against some of the best there is.....

Your right.

It's difficult to argue with any of that. I will be there anyway and I will ensure I fully enjoy the occasion.

Its in the middle of a tough run for Leeds too, they will not risk a few with the squad they have.
I hope its the Thursday game if we have Fax the following Wednesday. Give it our best and recovery time is maxed

delusional mate

Thats our Frank

I respect and understand everyone's opinion on this one, but it expect only one reaction from the club, coach and players.
Give em he'll boys

Rhino Roy is implying the game will be on a Thursday or Friday.

Rob Burrow is out 10 to 12 weeks with a broken collerbone,thats 1 less to worry about.

We are not gonna roll over for them , that's for sure and if you read their comments on their forum that's what they all expect to happen
