With Leigh playing sheffield again so soon and it being televised tonight, does that mean it is unlikely we will be on TV again next game against sheffield?

Other match will be Barrow V Widnes.

I think you've answered your own question most likely not

So will it be next weekend, which is Challenge cup weekend, or the weekend after?

I believe its the weekend after the challenge cup. Sky mentioned something about 2 weeks to prepare for the playoffs now.

Ok cheers Saley.

If sky pick Barrow v Widnes on the thursday,surely the winner is going to have a advantage,as Leigh v Shefield will probably be on sunday and then the winner of that will have to play Barrow or Widnes on a thursday.Barrow or Widnes get a week to prepare,Leigh or Shefield 4 days.I thought teams finishing higher got the advantage,then again this is rugby league were talking about.

Don't forget that there is also a game between Fev & Fax the first week. As the winner goes through to the final and the loser would get a week off then that would surely be the Sky choice for the first week leaving the second week for the winners of the 3 vs 6 & 4 vs 5th teams.

The second week won't be on TV as they will show Fev vs Fax.

As I see it;

Week one;
Thursday (TV); Barrow v Widnes
Sunday; Leigh v Sheffield

Week two;
Thursday (TV); Fev vs Halifax
Sunday; Leigh v Widnes

Week three;
Thursday (TV); Halifax vs Leigh

Not presuming we're going to beat Sheffield, but it was the easiest way of typing it!

Get to the playoffs and whinge, it can only be a Leigh fan.

Agreed. We are third. Who would have expected that a month ago. After that two minute spell just before HT today I thought we had one game to play. Now I am not too sure.

You never know





We can still do this.

That HT team talk must have been good. Do not care we lost (well I would rather we had not) but that bonus point is worth its' weight in gold.

I am a big AJ fan as I am of a few others but Chris Hill for me is one astounding performer for our club.

Leigh you were lucky to even get a bonus point tonight against Sheffield, the Ref was rather on your side in the first half. He should have went to the video ref with both first and 3 try, but when Sheffield went in to score he just ruled them out either straight away or went to the video ref. Leighs first try was a knock on and the 3rd was off side. Why does such a good game get ripped off by bad refereeing once again!!!!

Well you could always watch the game again in slo mo

Your team won didn't it ?

No doubt you will be at the LSV for your next game.

bad decisions on both teams if you dont look through rose coloured glasses

Couldnt see Sheffield being on 3 games in a row.
Itll be Barrow v Widnes
Then Fev v Fax
Then Widnes v Sheffield or Leigh v Widnes
Then Fev v Widnes or Fev v Leigh
Then Fax v ???? final









We could do it.
If we play like we did at Fax away in all the playoff games, we will win it.
If we play like we did against Batley, then the Sheffield game will be our last this season and Basil 's already got his excuses in early, by saying we were relegated last season and this season we finished third.

Ok, then how about Yeres blatant obstruction, don't care what the video ref said Yere clearly looked at where Maden was before positioning himself. There was a Sheffield knock on which should have resulted in a Leigh scrum 10 yards out, oh yes and fat boy cooks gaining of a penalty by throwing the ball against the grounded Leigh player. If that was a pass it would have been the worse one all night. We need to be a bit cuter, and become better at cheating the ref

Need to speak to Tomkins for tips on this

I was downstairs getting a pint at that point so had a good view of the replay, and I don't think there was much case for an obstruction, to be honest. If anything, Maden was a tad lucky to getting away with raising his arm in to the player obstructing him.

I thought it was obstruction. Just look at it this way, if that kick was put in 5 meters away from the leigh try line and the player looked then stepped would the try stand?
Ive seen alot of trys refused for less.

It was quite obvious that he throw the ball down toward the leigh player ,it would have been a shocker of a pass had he not been there otherwise.

Leigh should play this Saturday night to test when fans want to watch summer rl outside SL, Sheffield fans can travel as well, thats another 20.
7.30pm ko, allows soccer fans to get back and a few scoops for the rest.
Make it a tenner and £3 under 14's, £8 concessions. £22 family ticket

Last Saturday was proof enough for me that Saturday night rugby will never take off in Leigh. Poor crowd despite the offers on from the club to get more people in, I've never seen the North Stand so sparsley populated.

That is rubbish!!!! What crowd do you think we would have had on a Sunday after the previous weeks performance? I would have expected no more than 1200.
The type of offer was a poor one I think - how many 'NEW' fans came with a ST holder for a fiver and how many where used by the ST holders mate who would have been coming anyway?
Anyway, how can you judge if Saturday evening was a success or not after a one off game?
Just to remind you we only got 1600 against Dewsbury on a Sunday afternoon after a great performance at Widnes - then get 1900 after a terrible performance.



Maybe it was because we played Saturday evening.

Or a huge away support ?

2000 home fans was not a bad effort considering the previous games

hope the sky announcers get back from their honeymoon with missi tala whatever his name is
im sure they are all in love with him besides his infactuation with himself. he certainly wont be able to climb into the seats if he manages to score at lsv.
