2 points and a better points difference we will have you by the end of the month

Would expect so...will be thoroughly embarrassing for you if you have not.

By the time we've thrashed you on the 23rd we'll be six points clear of you

What better opportunity to have southernwood on the bench and give him a limited run out if and when its felt appropriate.
Look forward to seeing the lad, he certainly comes with with a great rep in his age group.

tell that to cas!

Cas are struggling out of the play-offs and have had a fair few injuries.

I'm not going to be drawn in to making any stupid statements though, I am well aware that if we don't turn up Leigh do have enough about them to get the result.

Knockout rugby though, anything can happen.


I quite fancy Blackpool to go through as it happens

well not for me I just go to the games and cheer em on! But I'm sure the lads are awear it's now or never if we are gonna finish 4th or above.

There's an enormous gap - especially as our 4 'dual contract' players will not be playing. (Millward reckons they have a better chance of playing at Wembley with Warrington/Saints!

)

Talking of current form, our last 12 (Albeit in the Championship) are WDWWWWWWWWWW.

Here's looking forward to a good game - if we get within 20 of you, I'll consider we've done well.

Orford not playing for us makes it a closer game than it would have been. Not saying we're a one man team, but you've only gotta look at the Dewsbury game for proof of how important he is. First half we scored 38 points. Orford went off at half time. Second half we scored 12. Having been to that game, I can comfortably say Orford's removal from the match did have something to do with that.

We should still be winning it comfortably, but I think if any of the ties have a hope of an upset, I'd say this has got to be the one. Leigh obviously one of the top 2 teams in the Co-Op league, Bradford prone to the odd shocking display and missing their star player.

I for one don't think it's gonna be anything like a walkover, but I'll be gutted if we don't win it by at least 20. As realistically, we SHOULD.

I suppose, from our viewpoint, our best performances have definitely been against the better teams - we have been average against the lower sides. Robbie also has turned it on against the better teams. (in our league)

Well, if it was me, I'd give young Southernwood a start. High pressure game? Is it buggery! It's a low key home bye against lower league opposition and that is no disrespect, just fact. Indeed, the reason there is some risk of us actually getting beat is precisely because it is hard for a SL team to get up and motivated playing in a CC tie against such a side in front of 5000 speccies and near silence.

You tend to save them for straight after games.

I wouldn't expect that, wouldn't of though Leigh fans will stop singing even if were 60 - 0 down

I will put money on Southernwood not playing.

I can promise you now we will not be quiet. Just ask Wakefield fans we were 50 0 down last year and were still singing.

Examples??

Friday could have been interesting with Orford out, if Leigh had a full team available ie the one v Fax. Missing 4 dual contracts, 1 suspended, 2 injured will widen the gap, great day out and dont worry about noise.

Anything could still happen. Platt may not play, Langley and Orford out.

Ooh, how about Kearney definitely a try, Witt never a try?

Connor Murphy mentioned on Twitter yesterday that he also didn't expect Southernwood to play and expected Kearney to be in the halves with Sykes.

I said that he wouldn't play and noone took any notice, but when Connor says it.....

That's the obvious and safest option.

And if you check the thread, I said he wouldn't play before you did




And my dad's bigger than your dad......

And both down to personal interpretation.

You type faster then me...
