Leeds spent most of 2005 at the top of Super League but we didn't finish there, where as you boys started at the bottom and guess what? Stayed and finished bottom!

HTH

Apparently the Leigh coach let slip on the radio after the game yesterday that they have Salford at home the first week.

If I was a KR fan I would be very worried. I couldn't call a million pound game between them and Leigh if I am honest. In truth tho nobody knows what will happen.

They were the better team Friday gone IMO. A lot might depend on which of their injured players return and when. And while Leigh have recruited heavily there has to be a question of how quickly their new players can slot in. It's not only HKR who'll be facing few easy games; the same applies to Leigh for once.

Leigh are not a threat to you, but they might be to kr and maybe shuddersfield.

They do have the belief of a religious cult, so expect plenty of them stopping by to let you know about their awesomeness

To be fair I am not getting too confident on how we progress.
Yes we have improved 100% recently compared to a few months back.
But apart from Hull we were lucky against HKR ( two poor teams on the night).
We could just have easily lost that one.
And we beat Wigan who had 9 or so players missing.
It depends which Leeds turns up and pray Segeyaro continues to do the business.
We have lost to the other 3 SL sides this year and they have lost to us.
Leigh could do a number on us who knows?
I am on a glass half empty mode at present unlike some of the more optimistic fans on here.

Leigh are an irrelevance. Our concern is only ourselves and finishing in the top 3. Whether Leigh are the worst of the 8 like last year, or whether they play like Queensland is unimportant.

Leeds will win 6 0ut of seven in my opinion , probably lose at Huddersfield , Feth are the winners as they get the three best supported away teams at their place

You'd say Salford should be ok but Koukash once again today talking about how he might walk away at the end of the season isn't exactly what you'd what to hear in the Salford camp before the Middle 8's start.

in the middle 8's competition players are earning the right to be employed in sl for 2017 are they not?
should their club happen to get relegated during this competition then aren't the players contracts null and void?

if so then this competition has massive implications for both the clubs involved and their players

People talk as though promotion and relegation is a new thing, its always been this way bar a decade.

The new format tests whether the team who gets promoted really deserves it. Hopefully Leigh will do better than last year and reach the million pound game.

Don't tar us all with Old Tony's brush, he is a major irritant on the Leigh board.

Leigh could do it with a following wind, but an unexpected result elsewhere would help. The MPG away to HKR is my prediction with anything better a bonus.

I'm just glad we get to come to Headingly - I love drinking in Leeds.

What do you reckon to KR in MPG, you gonna do em?

Leigh have had a great season but they havn't really been tested apart from when i saw Batley do a job on them down at Mount Pleasant

They will surely make this seasons MPG if they manage to win their games against the other championship sides

Although I'm not sure if they will be able to beat a SL side in this MPG game though and especially after having played 7 tough games on the trot in order to reach this game
This feat is something that they haven't had to endure thus far this season as they have run away with the Championship

They will certainly add nuisance value and keep the SL sides on their toes and will aim to take their chances should one of the SL clubs be a bit off
Any side that takes them lightly could be in for a shock
