We are only 4 points away from Warrington who are 9th and 5 points away from Catalans who are 8th. If we go on a winning patch we could easily be out of the bottom 8s.

We played well against Salford, we beat Hull and I can't comment for yesterday. But I think if we win 4 or 5 games we'll be out of this mess.

Easier said than done I know!!!

Not a chance of getting out of the M8's

but seeing enough positives to feel we should come through ok

Mooky, where are these 4 points coming from?And that providing Warrington and Cats don't win any more games ,it's been said how bad Leeds, Wigan , and Widnes are , and by coincidence they are our next 3 games along with Cats, then we go to Warrington,all will be revealed in the coming weeks , but for me at best an 11th place finish is awaiting us.

WOW you being serious you been smoking funny cigs this morning? Wigan Widnes Warrington are poor but they will still be to strong for us

Hull should've been too strong for us.

Don't think we'll finish top 8, or even top 10, but wouldn't write us off for all three of those games just yet.

Monty, I didn't say Wigan , Warrington, and Leeds were weak , I said others have ,read my post again,Wigan will be up there at the end of the season ,as will Leeds , but Warrington, I'm not sure , maybe Lord Tony is on borrowed time.

Not a cat in hells chance of wire being any mix apart from
The middle 8's or getting a hammering in the top 8 in 8th.

It's all about the number 8 !

If we could get the Guys out of the Stand fit and playing then we would have a good chance of getting out of the bottom four! Don't think we have enough time though however, when they are fit, we will have a very competitive team

[iBold[/i prediction [iWarning ![/i

Leigh will lose tomorrow night at Leeds !

Leigh will [iWin !!![/i v Wigan at home !!!
Leigh will [iWin !!![/i v Catalans away !!!

That's all folks .....

You can thank me later.

I think since the Salford game the performances have been a lot better.... hopefully we can win a few games and kick on into the Middle 8s or get out of there all together

They are preparing for the middle 8's..To quote DB..

Dont believe he mentions the middle 8s in that snippet does he

Not much point bringing a player in before the Top 8's.

Oh how we all scoffed when Wakey binned 1/2 their squad & replaced them for the Qualifying 8's.! Well I did anyway.

Though I don't think we need to be anywhere near as severe as Wakey were, I still think we need 3 signings to give us our best shot at survival I feel that a 6, Centre & 2nd row are needed sharpish & hope that we get bodies back fit soon.

Wakey didnt have Tonga,Higham,Hock,Higson,Hansen,Clare and Ridyard to call on though


PS : Also, Weston and Green

Paul McShane had already signed for Cas for the following season, Dean Collis and Micky Peua asked to be released along with a couple more, if you add those to our injuries at the time plus add those extra bodies to the squad we needed to compete in the middle eight's like you say you do, that just about leaves us in the same situation as you, except maybe you don't have players wanting to leave as we had, and we certainly did not have the same numbers as you have with the players, maybe now that you can see for yourself the problems you have, you might not be as quick to criticise us.

We have 5 grand finals coming up..... all the games we can potentially win ... I might put a cheeky bet on Leigh to stay up without going in the bottom 8s

So in a nutshell over the last 5 rounds and assuming the giants lose their game in hand, we have to....

Match Widnes AND Win 1 more than Wire AND Win 2 more than Catalan AND win 2 or maybe 3 more than the Giants.

Easy......win at least 3 of our last 5 but will possibly need 4 or probably all 5

The beauty is Derek,we play them all,making each game a 4 pointer. The two teams above Hudds could yet fall into the equation.You couldn't write it.

We won't get in super 8s we are in the middle 8s

I can 100% assure you of the fact we will be in the Super 8's.

How much you want to bet

Atomic, what are you using?

What's important is the team going into the middle 8's with the belief that they can beat whoever is put up against them and after the last couple of wins I think their confidence will be sky high.
