Quote: Hudd-Shay "Ian, you stick to betting on't horses. If by some miracle Leigh get on top of Fax in one of our matches we'll just deploy plan B and set Dane onto your fragile forwards. Pete in fragile do you mean,Hock,Higham,Weston,Harrison,Matuai, and Patterson,followed by Beswick,Moi Moi,Hopkins,Barlow,Spencer,Emmitt off the bench?A very fragile pack there Pete. icon_lol.gif

From Sky Bet...

Leigh Centurions 2/9
Bradford Bulls 6/1
London Broncos 16/1
Sheffield Eagles 20/1
Featherstone Rovers 25/1
Dewsbury Rams 33/1
Halifax RLFC 33/1
Swinton Lions 66/1
Oldham RLFC 66/1
Batley Bulldogs 100/1
Whitehaven RLFC 100/1
Workington Town 100/1

It would be a tad more compelling with an option to bet without Leigh, but it's interesting where the bookies still have us (just where Charlie forecast us for last season!)?

I have a small wager on us lodged at 40-1, which I guess I don't really expect to cash in on, but regard as a great "value" bet. 40 goes at it, I'd expect we'd come out on top at least once with the team and coach we have?

A little better than Mr Jagger's 1-1 bet with Charlie!!

The Championship looks good for next year, most teams have strengthened (I fear for a couple), and it should be a cracker!!

Don't understand why Fev are fancied above Fax. A 1, 6, 7 of Craven, Briggs (allegedly) and Thackeray sounds very good but I just don't see them competing in the forwards. With the exception of Griffin and Bostock their pack looks extremely average. Doesn't matter how good your halfbacks are if you are soft up the middle.

Sparky look how wrong I was with my prediction ,this year I think the Championship Clubs won't be taken by surprise as much by Fax,your New recruits are at best average by other teams new players,it will be much harder for Fax next season .Leigh stand out head and shoulders above the rest,Bradford will be strong , I'm not sure about Sheff and Fev,though I like the look of Dews for next season,my bet with Mr Jagger ?I wish I could treble it, I think he made the bet out of Bravado rather than good judgement,but sometimes those bets pay off , though not this time.
I'm really looking forward to next season,I feel Fax have gone for quanitty not quality next season,and it may be a negative tactic,I hope I'm wrong as I think Rich Marshall is a good Coach, I'm just a bit baffled at why you haven't spent your Funding cash on a couple of quality players.

I'll have a word with you about that when Sharp runs in a hat trick against your lot Ian. icon_thumb.gif

Those odds are from Skybet and therefore pretty irrelevant, nobody with half a clue will be able to get a significant bet on with them especially in a niche market such as Championship rugby league, and they were probably scribbled down in 5 minutes on the back of a cigarette packet. There are several other anomalies in that list - Halifax should be 3rd favs, London are much too short, and there's no way Batley or Workington should be double the price of the two promoted teams (not that I'm interested in backing either, just the 2 teams coming up should be even bigger prices).

I think what these forums often highlight is that with next to no coverage on TV fans tend to judge opposing players soley on what they do against their own team. For the record, Will Sharp scored both Fev's tries in the 2014 Grand Final (both brilliantly taken), but he's mostly been in a well beaten team since when playing Leigh and players tend not to shine in those situations - I can remember the likes of McNally and Brierley looking out of their depth against Fev a couple of years back too. Sharp's body of work arguably makes him the best wing in the league over the last three years. Gaz Moore has blown hot and cold over recent years but played some of his better games for Fev against Fax so it's no surprise to see him heading there (& you could say the same about Thackeray playing well against Fev for Dewsbury for that matter).

Good afternoon Mr Hall , hope you are well?I'm not being cocky ,I'm always wary of every team last season I forecast a defeat for Leigh in the League I didn't know where it would happen but said it would, and it will happen again.I agree in no way are we a 9-2 on shot,that's a very bad price, however I don't make the Book,and picking who will take Top spot of us , you would be a very brave man.As for Fax I can see why Fax fans are very optimistic for next season , but teams will be wary of you next season, m see 4th spot for you .

Probably because our already improving team is good enough to finish in the top 4 as it is. Let Bradford and Leigh blow their wad and come the qualifiers which team will be the one with the cash to splash?

Leigh, Bradford, Sheff, maybe Fax,depends on how London fare,I will again be entering the Fax Fantasy League Comp.As for Will Sharp?I'm not that impressed by him my best wingers in the Comp, Kay and Worrincy,the Worrier would get plenty tries in the Leigh team.

Nice to hear from you GFB icon_thumb.gif as for blowing cash?As you know Derek B has already spent a fair few quid , but he stated on Tuesday night another signing was on the cards yet, and also 2 more players would be leaving the Club , so maybe come the middle 8s next year Derek will have an ace or 2 up his sleeve to add to our already impressive squad, apparently our season ticket sales are going very very well.As for Fax?I just feel RM has set his sights a bit low with the new signings, Grix has plenty to prove, Smeaton not the player he was, Sharp has speed but lacks size and presence, and Gaz Moore?Enough said, I'm not a fan,just my opinion, anyway good luck for next season.I will invest Mr Jaggers 100 pound wisely. icon_wink.gif
