Quote: Bully_Boxer "Well oviously Leigh do have more experience of the teams and opposition players in this league. They're also accustomed to the difference in how a game is refereed so that has to be of some advantage. I'm not quite sure quite how big that advantage is but I think they're worthy of being labelled the best team in the Championship (the table doesn't usually lie). But I'm pretty comfortable with Leigh building up a bit of hype and allowing us to cruise under the radar a bit more than perhaps we would of. Their fans and head of rugby seem to be doing a good job of ing off other clubs so let them be a bit of a target that they're setting themselves up for.
I've seen supporters moaning because Leigh are putting teams to the sword most weeks but we've had a few games where it's been close. There are no prizes for being in good form now, we have to pace ourselves and build slowly for the important part of the season. You could argue there is perhaps a small advantage for finishing top in this league but even that is questionable depending on how you see things.'"
I think its very important that we finish above Leigh. If we cant finish above them in the league I wouldnt be confident of beating them in the Middle 8's at their ground. And thats a game I think we will have to win.
I agree that we should be pacing ourselves but I think we'll need to step up a gear when we travel to Halifax and London at the end of May. If we get through those games ok then the objective should be for Lowes to know his best 17 and start stepping things up for final 5 games of the regular season.
