Almost true, IF we lost to Whitehaven we would HAVE to beat Leigh.
However I do feel confident in our ability next week, in the last eight meetings we have won seven lost one.
Leigh, different kettle of lobby, lost seven won one. Interestingly we have score more points, more tries and equal on goals, although two of theirs were drop goals, so we win that as well.

Won't know the possibility of beating Leigh until Sunday evening 15th Feb.

But as regular readers know, I have rose coloured spectacles.

I must concur

Im a serial everything ,but Do go to games,and my knowledge of Rugby is just as good as the next man's ,unless the next man is Halifaxjohn .

Don't know about blaming the Mods but i agree with the rest. The forum is struggling with inane drivel.

I know I tend to ramble at times , but life is to short to take offence , I love my Rugby and love the Banter , I'm a closet Fax fan to , I've entered your Fantasy Comp ,I suppose I'm off thread now , but we can't be perfect all the time , still looking forward to the 22nd should be great , a clash of 2 huge packs , in my opinion a Mighty Leythers win is on the cards .Charlie knows.

As I have said many times I can be serious ,my views on Rugby are not always agreed with especially with some Leigh fans , I always try to be honest and never biased,if we play bad I say so I still don't know how we won at the Shay last April ,I know Littlerich is still having therapy for the result,and I think Fax have the Basis of a good squad though it will be very hard against full time teams, and my Dark Horses to surprise a few this year are Dews, I'm really looking forward to this season and unlike some I take nowt for granted, I think Leigh will finish top of the League , especially if we get a good start after our first 5 games.

You can have a good start AFTER your first 5 games Charlie. Just so long as you lose your 2nd game of the season. P.S. Post what you like mate, it's a forum. the beggars!

I saw an absolute doppelganger of him whilst in Dublin last week, reading a few of the earlier posts it MUST have been him!

Hope it wasn't in the Oliver St.John Gogarty down Temple Bar.

Has to be in sunday's 17,surely ? anyone disagree ?

Obvious decision would be to start him on the bench.

That's the only way he's gonna get any match fitness as we don't have any firm of second string and I dont think he can be dual reg'ed or anything due to his visa.

I would have thought we'll want him to be involved in the Leigh match so on that basis he has to start on the bench this Sunday.
