| Quote: Jaffro "Get the feeling we need a result. Having missed out against Toronto and Featherstone, to be in the top 4 we need to start beating teams that are likely to be there (let's be honest, Leigh will come good). Lose this one and it becomes tougher to catch-up, especially with London and Toulouse doing so well.'"
Don't worry. We can catch up as we go along according to RM!

Either way.... I'll have a chuckle
Yes Robin a win win for Fev and nice from Rovers point of view to have built up a slight cushion on a couple of rivals.
Even though it's early days I have the feeling that there may be more than just 2 points at stake, speaking just from a Fax perspective a win apart from the 2, gets the confidence and feel good factor up with something positive to build on, a loss has the opposite effect and adds to pressure especially after a less than impressive start.

| Jordan Lilley joins Leigh on a 1-month loan and in contention to play against Fax.
As a neutral this is an interesting game. Leigh not as bad as their position in the table suggests but have lacked creativity especially at half back and Halifax tend to deal quite well with teams like that, it takes a decent team to score plenty of points against Fax especially at home.
Leigh have leaked 70 points in their last two games, both at home, but Halifax tend to struggle to rack up the points.
Looks like a close and low-scoring game to me. No idea who wins.

Phantom, we at Leigh have had no problem scoring points it's our defence that the problem,we seem to get a comfortable lead then go to sleep, hopefully Lilley can create a few more chances and our defence can tighten up.
Our backs from 1 -5 have been fairly good, and dour forwards look strong, it's the halves were we seem to lack something,we disposed of Batley with ease a few weeks ago, but it remains to be seen what happens on Sunday , I've for cast a Leigh win by 2 points but I'm not confident, should be a good game.

True but what I meant was this Leigh team doesn't scare people when you have the ball like the one of 2 or 3 years ago did. With so many ex NRL/SL guys in your line-up you're always going to be competitive and score points, but the quality just doesn't seem to be there at half back, maybe Lilley will help you improve.
The one thing Halifax are good at is defending, it normally takes a bit of quality to break them down, Ridyard and Holmes did it a few times when Fev played them in week 1 but teams that lack creativity aren't going to score lots of points against them. That said, Halifax struggle in that area themselves.
I think the score when Fax played Toronto was something like 4-10 until the last few minutes, and 20 points might be enough to win the game on Sunday, for either side.

Batley game apart.... Leigh have been outscored in the 2nd half in every other game.... incl barrow which would suggest fitness/conditioning levels are nowhere near as good as they ought to be for a full time side.
And if they think jordy lilley is Alan Langer they will be sadly disappointed.
This is this weeks "interesting game"!

| Both defences were rubbish last week at Leigh, that was what I meant.

It clear to all Robin that Fev at the moment are competing with everyone, carry on like this and Brian Mac may get coach of the year at two different clubs in the same season.

There have been a few years where Leigh have enjoyed some sweet, sweet grapes, but they appear to be going awfully sour right now...
