That's right, they've conceded 60 twice at home. All we'd need is for them to play Cas and W***n, and suffer a similar injury crisis, the week before playing them!

A sobering thought - to win the GF, somebody could have to beat them TWICE!

well aye, results don't lie do they?
I just hope you coaching team prepares for any game v Fev as if it was 'that' team that conceded 60!

The Fev team now are playing significantly different rugby and have an entirely different list of priorities now to what they had then.

However, as you say - we conceded 60, twice, therefore we must be beatable Ste!



I'll live with that!

wouldnt be so smug fev fans loose finn or kain for any period of time and you will find it tougher also if the refs start to penalise the likes of england, spears , dale ,grayshon an mr 3rd man in dickens for lying on in the tackle you will find it tougher as well

Why will they get penalised? Two men hold up the attacker and the third man comes in and they all fall down, quite legal smart play IMO.

Well of course we would, like fax wopuld losing Thacks or Handforth, or Batley losing Black, Sheffield losing Brown, Brams etc! However, if they were absent I'm sure Heppy or Bussey are capable replacements.



We play to the ref. If he sees an infringement he penalises us. You then have the kick and the advantages of the yardage - up to you then to make of it what you can! At the mo, we have the quality to play that game better than Leigh. C'est la vie.

Smug?? Well, finishing top of the league for the last 2 seasons, current GF winners, top of the league so far this season, beating Cas and giving wigan a game, 2nd team running away with their comp, 9's finalists, european champs, and NRC finalists with the final to play - I think after the years and years and years of oblivion, I'm permitted a little smugness don't ya think??

I seem to recall the Turley years when the Leigh forum was full of smugness - and why not!! Those days may return - and when they do, you will have a level of smugness 2nd to none owd cocker!!

The Fax game is the key one - I think you will win the rest.

2nd is achievable but I think we'll finish 3rd. 'Fax and/or Keighley to beat us. Still a marvellous season to get where we are after the close season we had.

We won't beat Fev.

Great reply and I agree

All teams can have off days. We stormed the league one year and went out in play offs. Could happen to anyone.

yes it could, but the percentages are low!

On our day we can beat anyone, so to say we cant beat Fev is stupid

Anyone is beatable in this league - thats why its so wide open and a lot of results tough to call.

Making the play offs is a big achievement for a club that was in major trouble in the off season so 'anything' we can get from that is a bonus, personally I think a NRC Semi and CC Quarter final and having a team still in with a shout of the play offs and Play off final is a helluva achievement for a club with so little resources.

Arguably, the club of the year from a championship club given the base from which you started this season!

I will be watching you against Fax as Widnes play on Sunday.The goose lads.

Percentage just got s bit higher. Andy Ellis recalled by wakey to replace Aiton who is out for 6 to 8 weeks

Hepworth will take Ellis`s spot.........quality player is Hepworth - wouldnt say no to him at Leigh TBH.

Just pointing out that loan players can get recalled, injuries can happen as we have found out recently. Maybe its someone else's turn. TBH i can't see us beating fev unless they suffer a downturn in form. Shame their ground is not fit for SL at present as there could be an early vacancy as long as the RFL don't let the bradford buyers blackmail them. What happened to the new stands Fev inherited

having just walked in and not hearing much about this,it sounds like they've put the rfl in a very awkward spot here

Planning has been submitted and should pass mid August, after that its all systems go. Everything is in place, people, money, etc to start immediately.

Excellent news

A fair post that Robin.

I am off for that game Andy, so look forward to seeing you again mate.

Not correct, Someone would have to beat them in the Final, they could lose to them and still reach the final.

That is good Ian as not seen you for awhile matey.Hopefully see you and Frank and is it a 8pm kick off?Maybe i get you and Frank to Widnes on the Sunday.



I hope Leuluai does well for you though, but i feel he is too lightweight for Superleague.

Think it will be 7.30pm kick off Andy.
