| Quote Bully_Boxer="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.

| Halifax in may is at Blackpool and I happened to watch a sky football match that was there and it looked like they where playing on the beach the pitch looked trashed.
To progress we need to beat Leigh and an SL team, I think we have it in us but we need to improve drastically, and if we can put London to the sword on sunday and give KR a good game we will go along way to showing that.

| I still struggle to see why people want Addy at 13. IMO he isn't big enough so doesn't bring enough physical pressence to the team. It is like playing with only 5 forwards. For me he is only ever going to be a fill in hooker/half.

| Quote 8ULL5HITT4="8ULL5HITT4"Daft as it may seem we probably didn't need as many Super League standard players.....The ones we recruited with Championship experience have generally shown up well. Leigh have several of the better Championship standard players [uand hardly any of SL standard[/u. It's an entirely different ball game in the Championship and that's where we have gone wrong. Perhaps we should hold back the better players until the middle eights when they will play a game that suits them.'"
That remains to be seen owd lad

I presume you are expecting some to be snapped up by SL clubs..........The one's that haven't had a shot at it maybe. Never say never.

| I'd pick Addy at 13 every week. He's creative, good short kicking game and grabs a try.

Possibly at the end of the 2016 season.
McNally is a pretty decent players these days who is still young as are Brierley,Barlow and Armstrong.
Liam Kay is looking like a top winger and Tom Spencer is a big prop who should keep improving.
The one thing they all need tho is to remain fully professional.

I don't see why we would fear going to Leigh, we'll face tougher opposition than Leigh in that split. We got sucked away from the gameplan in that opening game, hopefully we will have learnt lessons from that game. We need key players fit, hopefully Ferguson, Blythe, Lauaki, Davies, Baille to add to the squad that came up short in our opening fixture.

Correct, but you shouldn't fear anyone. Our motto is, Respect everyone Fear no one.

I can't imagine which clubs will take the risk....... I think there was probably more chance during franchise era. I don't doubt they are worth a shot along with a few other Championship players but I think they would have to be exceptional. Maybe if quota system was further restricted. There are 2 less clubs in SL this year so a surplus of players with SL experience.

I agree. I’d have him on the bench to cover backrow, halfback and hooker. He’s great cover thanks to his versatility and would mean that if we lost one of our pivotal players during a game we’d have some insurance. As for starting 13 I agree about his physical presence.

| To be fair to Danny, he showed a heavy 'physical presence' to take his first try - those defenders weren't messing about...or to quote Stevo, "playing tiddly-winks".
