She'll eat you for breakfast

Personally, I'm not confident about this fixture ......Leigh are obviously a Super League team due to their full time professional status and we have decided to rest a few due to our recent escapades.

I think after this fixture we will be a force to be reckoned with as every player will be giving it everything they have in order to put themselves forward for a Challenge Cup final spot in the team ......This fixture is a week too early for us and given who we are playing, I'm not altogether confident ......But hey, if we can do it without our first choice prop, centre and half back then that only bodes well for us in the rest of the middle 8's and the Challenge Cup final .......If we win with the team we put out then my confidence within the coaching staff will go from strength to strength ......Come on Rovers!!!!

Would have thought SL survival would play a part as the main priority..Obviously not were your concerned.




Its now called the Summer Bash and you may be joining it after your Wembley appearance.



Yep and good luck..

PATHETIC.....they NEVER try and persuade LEIGH fans to visit their trendy establishment.

I thought that was NL's version of Magic Weekend? I think he was on about Northern Rail Cup Final in 06.

Glorious weather today in Leigh - so those travelling have a safe journey and bring sun cream, not a cloud and 25 degrees

Like it or not Leigh are now in the same league as Rovers, not a 'lower league team'.
Whilst everyone is understandably excited about us having earned the right to play in the CC final, we have also earned our place in the middle 8, as have Leigh. In league terms, we are on a par with them. Massive game to win, not far off a must win in case our performances do suffer due to the distraction of Wembley.

Kelly confirmed as out and an early doubt for Wembley. Lateral Knee ligament damage I think they said....
Oh dear.

Good game so far at half time.

You've had little enough entertainment lately, so I won't begrudge you. If we didn't have the schadenfreude, eh?

Given Leigh's home form and our away form, I was nervous. Still very poor to be 18 down by half time against anybody. This qualifying 8s looks like it will be gut churning.

Thank you. I hate Leigh.

Oh and now you don't even have the schadenfreude. Big chinny.

Well done H K R good second half. Pleased you came through and good luck next week. Take it easy against the Trin please.

Did you enjoy the second half as much?

No



Fair play with the second half performance, and would reckon that's you guys done, I only ever saw Leigh and Widnes away as danger games, you'll stroll it now.

Come on Leeds

Which half did you enjoy most last night ?

Just wanna say, big tony has been our best mid season signing in our SL era just behind Dobbo. He's been epic for us, so consistent.

Heart was in my mouth with twenty to go. Over the moon with this result.

Its a pity he wont play 1 more season,he's been outstanding.

Got away with winning a game when we only played for 40 mins. A lot of guts and class finally prevailed.

I reckon it's Salford that may drop out of SL. Unsettled behind the scenes.

Big pity indeed.

Phew, got out of jail there.

I think Leigh got carried away, they really should have managed that game better.

Good to see Hock is still an absolute liability.

Why is it that modern stadia are all built for Umpa Lumpa's?

We were poor in the first half and barely average in the second.

A wins a win but we need to improve

All about the points today. We were shocking and didn't deserve to win but hey ho, we now have breathing space. Beat Fax next week and we can rest a few at Widnes.

Leigh have blown a huge opportunity today and it could really cost them. If they couldn't beat us on that showing, then I suspect the gap between SL & Championship is a little larger than many suspect.

Going to watch it back now to see how on earth that last try was given!

The Leigh player lost the ball in the tackle.

Cockayne was therefore perfectly entitled to pick up the ball. The fact that he was so shocked that an offence hadn't been committed that he required Lunt to remind him he actually had to put the ball down over the line tells you all you need to know about his intellect.
