| The way I see it is that in the end most of the fixtures will end up being foregone conclusions. Yes, there wil be the odd 'surprise' or maybe even 'shock' but the final table is pretty predictable within a place. But that one place is what its all about. The thing is, the main protagonists will each have a couple of really key fixtures, and so it will all boil down to what happens in those.
You can make a case for an SL club "having more to lose" but it doesn't wash. If (for example) we played Wakey in 4 vs 5 then BOTH teams have EXACTLY the same to lose, that is a place in SL2016. It's not as if we could play footloose and carefree, on the basis that well, we're a Championship club, whatever, if we lose, so what. No, losing that game would be every bit as much of a disaster for us as it would be for them. If anything, our players know far more keenly than Wakey (or the other 3 SL clubs in the mix) what they have to lose, because most of them have already been there and done that.

I'd say that's a blow to Leigh's rivals. That's at least two penalties a game less Leigh will conceded.

What about try he scored against us and the offload for their 1st try on Saturday? He's still a seriously good player who makes things happen and a massive loss for any side in the middle 8s.

The offload is irrelevant as his brain explosions very clearly and indisputably cost Leigh that game.

It's not very clear or indisputable at all. Two penalties didn't decide a game played by 34 men for 80 minutes. That's just silly.

| I think Hock has tonnes of ability and is very dangerous with his offloads, but he can be an absolute liability at times.
Leigh's collapse last Saturday wasn't solely his fault to be fair.
