| Now its on TV, I can see Leigh bringing no more than a 1000.
As for the result, I feel it will be a real compelling game and very close.
I do though feel Leigh will win, but by no more than 10.

| Quote ="Leyther_Matt"The loss to Doncaster was a considerable time ago let's not forget and we've more than added to the quality in the squad since then, not to mention turning full time since then. I suppose we can take it as a compliment that opposition fans have to go so many games in to the past to even find our last defeat, never mind a poor run of form.
That said, I do find some of the comments on here to be setting us up for a bit of a fall with predictions of thumping victories and the like. Yes, I think we're certainly capable of winning the game if things work in our favour, but a lot of people need to recognise that Wakefield are a Super League outfit by their own earning having finished so far ahead of the bottom two last season and had a more than decent start to the season in hammering Hull (46-10!), winning at Cas, sticking 40+ points past Hull KR and keeping Saints scoreless for more than hour. Granted the result at Warrington was a serious thumping, but they scored some decent tries against 'Fax and will enjoy the break from league action and, no matter what anyone says, they will go in to the game as favourites.
I'm looking forward to the game as much as anyone, but anyone predicting Leigh to win by anything other than the narrowest of margins need to wind their neck in, and the same goes for the inevitable predictions that we'll be taking over the ground etc etc when in reality if we even take 1,500 for a live TV game then it will be more than commendable.'"
Agree with every word.
There are some comments on these boards, that make the KR fans of 2006 seem humble!

If you go back far enough you’ll probably find most teams have beaten us.

| Personally I think Wigan were poor tonight but still won comfortably , no disrespect to Wakey they are not that bad and I think they will be a very hard team to beat ,the speed they played was good and the full back had a nightmare game , but I think they will give us a very close game.

Bless.....unlike every game that we play in the championship that is 'top drawer' stuff. I enjoyed the 1st half ( i am so sorry), but as I am not an ex player/coach like yourself, I know where you are coming from.

Ian that was the worst game of SL that I have seen and it makes them look like Championship 2 compared to the NRL.
Wakey do not play as a team and that is their worst fault. I don't think that Smith and the lad who came from Leeds - the hooker - are worth their shirt. Their players are going down with injuries all the time and that tells me that some don't want to play. I like to see players who miss tackles get up and run to get back in the line. Not lay on the floor feigning hurt, then when the try is disallowed, getting up. I'm sure PR would not stand for that. I see Lee Gaskel was there in their coaches box tonight. Well they could do with him now and I think that Lee would be the player to bring them to a mid table team. They need a real leader now or they will fold. We would have thumped Wigan tonight.

Tony I think you are being a bit hard on Wakey , I've seen far worse SL games ,Smith is a Maverick of a player , I didn't see Gaskell but I'm a big fan of his , I still think Wakey will give us a hard game ,I bet you are glad to back ?

| Centurions may, or may not beat Woeful Trinity Schoolgirls, but I would rather have drawn Wigan at home, got 12,000 in the LSV & lost.
There, I said it.
At least then we could all enjoy the big occasion & the team could get on with focusing on the Championship & the Middle 8's.
Because that is where the £££ is & Super League is a possibility.

| Agree there to some extent, whilst our main aim is to gain promotion and I think we have to go for that firstly, the players will enjoy testing themselves against better teams and a good cup run is good for the fans too.
As for Wakey, I like Wakey, love their fans, they are a bit like us a small club punching above their weight! However they have stayed in Super League since being promoted.
Ive special memories of a Saturday night there in 2006 when we went to watch Wakey v Wigan, when we was in York for the weekend (we was playing on the Sunday), we walked past all the Wigan lot and stood with the Wakey fans singing Wakey Wakey and they beat Wigan that night, it was a great night.
back to our cup match, I think it will be a close game and I m not sure which way it will go.

To be honest I’ve been disappointed with most SL games this season, up until last weekend when the big guns played one another it has been very poor in the main.
It’s as if the SL coaches have such strict and set game plans, defensive patterns etc that they just seem to cancel one another out.
It made me laugh watching the Salford game on SKY to hear O’Connor say something along the lines of “Leigh are difficult to play against, you just don’t know what they are going to do, because they don’t know!”
And although I disagree with him to a certain extent as I do think Rowley and the lads do know what we’re doing, in comparison to SL I can understand why he made the comment as most plays in SL are just a simple set, a good kick, field position and look to score when in their 20, were as our attitude is how do we score from here, regardless of field position.
Statler and Waldorf who stand behind me in the North Stand were in overdrive when Armstrong threw the pass to Platt, I said “But that’s the way we play, great isn’t it?”

| Why should Leigh bow down LS..Warrington going to Leeds and doing the double over them for this season..SL in complete turmoil this season..Top 8 joining the competition at this point,never been a better chance for Leigh to go all the way.

Only one problem with your post. We would of course beat Wi@an so your idea wouldn't work

Agreed, we nearly beat Leeds last year as a part time team, we could very well go all the way (big ask but possible). In my other post I was disagreeing with those saying the cup is a distraction from promotion, well we're not yet playing for promotion but we are winning every game and sat at the top of the league so it's not much of a distraction. It's good to play better teams than we're currently faceing & the more we do the better we'll be.
