anyone bold enough tp predict a win

Just read the preveiw on the RFL site and if you read the last sentance to ,mean Wattos out then I fear for us;

Gateshead Thunder v Leigh Centurions
Thunder coach Steve McCormack says his players are fully focussed on Sunday’s Co-operative Championship relegation six-pointer.

Victory on Sunday would see Thunder narrow the gap on Leigh to just one point.

McCormack said: “Leigh will be a tough game, another big challenge, and so we have to prepare properly for that.

“We are building the kind of consistency we are looking for, but there are just three games to go and we have to be in perfect condition for all three of those games.”

Centurions coach Paul Rowley says the mathematics are simple.

Rowley said: “If we win, we stay up – it’s as simple as that. It’s a game of massive importance but we’ll go there and see what we can do.

“Last week was our most professionally 80 minutes of the season. It was like a cup final to us. The lads realised the importance of the game and responded well. The challenge is to back that up.”

Tom Hemingway has returned to Huddersfield while Ian Watson is “more out than in” according to Rowley.

and t stewart stand off

Hope he plays we need him ,last week it said that Stanton would not be playing but he did.

Stewart and Ridyard 6 and 7 tomorrow

thats correct wato (injured) stewart 6, ridy 7, but same pack of forwards
lets see tony stewart have his best ever game for Leigh Centurions.

sorry but we will not win with them two at half back.

if our forwards play like last week how can you say that ???
hill, armistead, morrison, taylor & smith where great,
meekin being spelled for hill, maybe castle this week to,
with young luiluia running like he does, any player should be able to play off the back of that pack.
LETS JUST SEE, see you in the trenches, well maybe on the coaches first.

I agree 100% the forwards were great. However near the line we are clueless enough never mind without watto and hemmingway. Cant see it being a victory on sunday although i would love it to be

Castle out for rest of season.

Without Watto Ridyard will run the show, Leigh by 16

Well tha,ll be good

Stewart has not has a good game for this club since he signed. Thats unfair though he did make a try saving tackle at Batley earlier this season.Ridyard has a good kicking game but his defence is dreadfull.

I think we will have to hope Watson is OK for the last 2 games and we beat Haven and get a bonus point v Fax.

Whoever selected our squad at the start of this season should walk.I mean by that playmakers/pivots and cover for vital positions in the game.

One minute I'm optimistic, the next I'm fearing a drubbing. Could literally go either way; start like the Toulouse & Sheffield games are we're on to a winner, but start like the Donny or Barrow games....

Gateshead 22 v 28 Leigh

Gateshead by 20 sorry but with those two at halfbacks we will have no pivots at all.

Fred how long have you been watching RL ? we would be so lucky.

Well this is how dire this is . I,d play Marsh standoff. Should he not be fit I,d play ME, Alstead, Donlan, Mort, anyone from the reserves Anyone from Nanyn to Jimmy Taylor.And if I am proved wrong I will be delighted.

I predict around 400 leythers supporting their team and the players wearing the shirts doing their all to get a result

That is all we expect

heres a shock I'd play Nannyn at stand off, he played a lot of his Jnr days there.

gateshead 40 leigh 34

The only predicton I'll make is that we'll all be nervous wrecks by 4:45 today.

Gateshead by 18. This is a top six team we are playing today. Their squad is much beter than their league position suggests due to mid season aquisitions. Any way good luck today lads, I can't make it today.

Gateshead 28 - 18 Leigh

be happy with a bonus point.

Got score wrong but 6 points difference.They are a decent team gateshead at their place.
