Decent team Crusaders with a large and noisy set of fans that will give the LSV some real atmosphere on Sunday.
With the hordes of Man U pub fans being disillusioned I hope we can net a few to get closer to the 2500 which I feel is possible with the fans travelling over from Wales
Cru have won 2 of 3 games since promotion and will only get better as the season progresses, lets give their fans a warm Leyth welcome and then hopefully carry on the fantastic RL we have been seeing at the LSV this year
Don't forget to bring a mate or relative with you, and get the kids signed up with the junior centurions
Events are lined up for the Legends bar and the Touchdown welcome the one and only Alex J Murphy as guest speaker for the day, so why not upgrade and make a full day of it?

Spread the word fellow disciples, it feels great again being a Leyther

Im hoping Jono Smith plays , be nice to see how he goes against us .

Hoping we keep our winning run going but think will be a test as its hard to say what kind of Crusaders team will turn up.
I'll stick my neck out and go for 38-12.

It has seemed a long time....

I heard that we was gonna try different match days but to kick off at midnight isn't gonna tempt any of the lapsed fans back

Not had Stoksey for ages it'll be a test for us . Looking forward to Sunday !

Good spot! Looks like Swinton are trying the same tactic!

Perhaps the RFL should employ a proof-reader?

The Crusaders have a few hardworking players ,and a couple of Skilful ones as well , though I don't think they will cause us to much trouble , so im going for a score of Centurions 40 v Crusaders 10 .Hopefully we will get back to playing good back up Rugby , instead of everyone trying to score at every play the ball .We are a very talented side who play open rugby , Cmon Leythers show us what we know you can do .

Centurions 52
Crusaders 8

Another 52 ?

Big game on today though according to their website;

The Tetley's Challenge Cup
Wed 19th Mar 2014
KO:14:00

Catalan Dragons

V

Underbank Rangers



Venue: -

Could provide a timely boost to their awful SL start! (no disrespect intended to Underbank!)

Would Catalans away not be a good tie should we beat Rochdale

It's alright if your loaded and can travel to watch it ,a home game would suit 95% of Leythers

Catalan away would not be good draw.

Our club would probably lose money on such a match.

Not at all, would be almost impossible to get to, probably be of no real interest to Catalan Fans so be a poor attendance and we'd probably loose despite Catalan's bad start to the season. Catalan away would probably be one of the worst possible draws in my opinion.

Not one of the worst, definitely the worst.

Toulouse them !

this thread is getting like Groundhog Day

Cue "I got you babe"

Well just to get it back on topic the bookies reckon Leigh will win by 32 on Sunday.

After looking at the NWC squad i'd be happy/impressed if we beat them by 32. They have some good players and I expect it to be a tough game if we aren't at the top of our game,

32 ???? Mmmmmmmm

All depends on how NWC start the match I suppose. It probably sounds about right tbh.
