HI All,

First time poster but long term forum lurker here.

Have to admit thats its quite depressing reading some of the comments on here these past couple of weeks ( or at least some posters seem to shine as soon as we lose!). I'm confident we'll get the 2 points over Halifax this weekend whilst Toronto will put London to the sword. That will leave us at most 1 pt behind Halifax, & level with London albeit London have the better GD but come the end of the season with the finish we have id happily have a wager that our GD will end up being far superior to theres. On top of this all the top 6 play each other either 2 or 3 more times and all teams, possibly other than Toronto will drop points, never mind finishing 4th i've got us down for 3rd at least and on the proviso we beat Toulouse that 2nd spot is still available. Onwards and upwards leythers, lets get behind the team in possibly the most exciting and nail biting Championship season yet.

Prediction for this week Leigh 36 Halifax 12

I concur with everything you say except the scoreline. Leigh 48 v 4 Fax. They are without both of their better points scorers in QLT and Tyrer. Lets rack up the points!

Agree Cherry.. We seem to concentrate on what we are missing,forgetting what others are also
missing.

Go Leythe..

Hope your correct, hypothetically speaking if London lose by 20 aswell we will then only be 40 behind them on GD which in rugby terms is nowt

Two scenarios

Win the six matches against the lesser teams

Toronto & Toulouse clear at the top
3rd Fev 32
4th Fax 31
5th Lon 30
6th Us 30

Win at either TW or TO

3rd Us 32
4th Fev 32
5th Fax 31
6th Lon 30

Main thing is, Fail to win on Sunday and the season is done.

That's it stay positive

Posted over week ago, the magic number is 32. Not point difference.

I hope your team is as cocksure as you are.



BTW. Just replaced QLT with Keiron Moss from HKR.

Excellent replacement, well done

Dont be Ridiculous plenty of Twists & Turns to come yet

Keep the faith - we will be fine

Free game for us as its one that you wouldnt expect us to win at the beginning of the season and is still one we can afford to lose. A loss for Leigh and its very difficult for them to reach the top 4 yet 4 weeks ago I were telling people I were sure Leigh would get promoted back to SL. A win for us and it puts us in prime position to beat Fev and London to one of the remaining 2 places in the top 4.

Wasn't making a prediction on the game itself. Just more a case of no point looking at how many games we can afford to lose, and whether we can afford to lose to Toronto and/or Toulouse. Sunday is a must win game. As was London and Fev away.

Take 1 game at a time as last Thu I never thought I'd see a game that would finish with just 10 Leigh players, circumstances, bounce of the ball or even officials can change anything and league tables soon change.

Next up is Fax and its a very tough game which is good for all as it means the actual comp we are in is actually getting better.
The lads need to focus on what we do very well and not worry about anything else.

Great post Jenky - Halifax are a good side with a lot of experience - and Keiron Moss is a good replacement for QLT. We have a team that can all of the remaining games and have been very fortunate on the injury front. I cannot think of a season where we have had so many good players to come in when needed.
KP has said that every game is a must win game and the team will prepare to win each and every game. It should not be forgotten that the lads also play a very good brand of entertaining rugby that is difficult for other teams to live with.

They've just signed a class fullback from Hull KR, I can see it being a really tight affair, I'll be optamistic and say 14-10 to Leigh, we have out best player out.

Well the one thing we can do is rack up points - fax will need to score 30 to stand a chance of beating us, and I'm not brave enough to say they won't but gotta fancy us to win this one

Free game, have you looked at the table GFB


I hope you are giving the pre match team talk tomorrow for your guys

It won't be a disaster if we lose is all Im saying, we still have Toulouse and Fev to come at home so our destiny is in our own hands. If Leigh lose you will be relying on other teams doing you favours.

Leigh do rack up points but in contrast they are facing the best defensive team in the competition over the last 3 seasons. A few weeks back I would have had this nailed down as quite a large Leigh win as you looked on fire but now who knows. The problem we have is that in our other away games against the full time teams we were blown off the pitch within the first 10 minutes, if Leigh can do that we don't have enough points in us to come back. If we can stick with Leigh though we might just sneak it.

The top 4 destiny is in Leighs hands too.

I think Fev and London are on a sticky wicket but no one should take the likes of Dewsbury Batley and Barrow lightly!

Barrow ??

Wot he said

That was nip and tuck
