Yep, they're a right laugh. We (Wakefield) had the pleasure of them perpetually camped on our board all last season. Enjoy.

You'd have thought they'd have learnt from last year wouldn't you. Spent so long telling the likes of Wakey and Salford what a rude awakening they were in for yet finished dead last and lost to two of their Championship rivals.
The irony lost on them that they come to scold people for being cocky/confident and then proceed to confidently and cockily pronounce how teams are in for a rude awakening when they play Leigh.
If their hope is that the SL teams will be complacent in their approach/attitude then they'll be sadly disappointed. This isn't a one off cup game with potentially 'bigger fish to fry' the weekends either side of the game and later on in the year. This is about keeping a place in SL with nothing left to play for after the conclusion of these 7/8 games and if a SL team does go down it won't be because they got too complacent about the task ahead.
Leigh fans will say if the Leeds team shows the same cockiness that some of their fans do they'll be in for a shock. Well if the Leigh team share the same obsession of their fans of claiming certain SL scalps for bragging rights then they'll end up getting beaten by other Championship clubs again....Leeds will treat every game the same, as 2 points. Leigh fans seem to think beating Leeds will be worth more which it won't be if they slip up in other games because their minds were too focused on the Leeds fixture. Like I mentioned before, the Leeds/Leigh game might end up being played in the 7th and final week, and if so a lot of rugby to be played before then for that game to even count for Leigh.

| Lets face it though. Leigh are one place below Leeds in the over all league structure as it stands. So if we happen to beat the club above us so what? But say Leeds were six or seven places above Leigh then that would be kind of a big deal. Perhaps we should just wait and see what happens when you come across to to play at our place

Perhaps you should. Perhaps if you had taken your own advice at first instead of starting your WUM posts you did a few pages back, then WE wouldn't be talking about Leigh as, in case you hadn't noticed we are not bothered about you

| As a Leigh fan i just want us to beat the 3 other champ teams and hopefully target 2 of the 4 sl teams as the best chance of taking point off,Leeds wouldn't be one of those teams.
Good luck Leeds,

| I did actually state that there are seven other clubs in the comp and never once said that Leigh were just concentrating on Leeds and my original post just meant that no club whether it be super league or championship will just roll over and gasp just cos they are playing Leeds. Like I said wait and see. And heres hoping to a exciting competition. Good Luck to every club involved.

Just wait until school breaks up for the summer holidays this afternoon, all those Leigh fans will be all over this board like a plague of ants

If we come across. If we finish 9th or 11th then it's at Headingley.

| Realistically, we shouldn't have enough to trouble you guys although, in our most recent meeting, we gave you something of a fright. Since then, our forwards have improved tremendously, but the backs probably aren't as effective. If we were to play you in the first match, it might get interesting but, otherwise you should have too much class.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing some class players up against us once more.
Good luck for the rest of your season - except in just one match, of course!

| As a Leigh fan, I would want to play you at headingley. Anything less than a 30 point loss will be a good result for us and will toughen us up for the other games.
As someone has posted, we play a more conservative (SL style really) of Rugby which will hopefully see us well.
All sensible Leigh fans would want us to win the 3 championship games. That alone means we will finish at least 5th and a Million pound game. The only SL team capable of imploding is HKR in my opinion, but saying that, should still be too strong for us.
Over 80 mins though, anything can happen. I just hope we dont play 3 SL teams first like we did last time round. It completely killed us off !!
Either way, I will look forward to playing Leeds. You should be nowhere near the bottom 4, but you are. In a way, I am pleased that you have kept your faith in Brian McDermott. Quality coach who brings the kids through.
Good luck, but you wont need it. I can see nothing more than a 7/7 come the middle 8's finishing for Leeds.
