| Quote: The Devil's Advocate "This years middle eights is proving highly entertaining for me so far.
Last season Wakefield proved they were the worst S.L. side by losing to all the other three S.L. teams, but this year I don't (as yet) see another Wakefield.
Also this year Leigh appear to be stronger than Bradford were last year.
I imagine Leeds will breeze through, but I also thought Salford would have too much firepower, is the Dr's threat to walk away having an effect on the team, because that team is better than that.'"
Bradford thrashed Salford last year and didn't even get home advantage.
That's where the disadvantage for Champipnship sides comes in.
Bradford beat one SL team Wakefield lost to all of them but got home advantage.
Leigh therefore need to beat two SL teams to avoid the MPG.
If they can pick off Huddersfield or Hull KR that leaves them needing to beat both Championship clubs they have left to play to go up automatically.
There's a lot can happen between now and the end of the middle 8's.
I think they are capable of that though and I really hope they do it.
It will be really funny to see the whinging for one thing. If there were 2 SL clubs in MPG they would have to cut their cloth and reap what they sow etc etc.
Speaking from experience the MPG is a horrible thing to go through. It's not like a final it's truly awful and you just feel sick throughout. |

credit to the broncos who never gave up and scored the best try of the game from their winger'"
it was a poor call but London scored off a penalty that never was too. |

I like how you're implying it's unfair that Bradford didn't get home advantage for beating Salford. The reason you didn't get home advantage was because you were thrashed by us at Belle Vue and couldn't even beat Halifax. |

Diddums. My heart bleeds. Didn't they even put on a pre match "monkey on a quad bike doing juggling tricks whilst waving his sponge fingers to the sound of woolly bully" for you?

The next 2 fixtures will be massive for Leigh.
A win or even a draw and it could mean they sit in a very comfortable position.

No but you were moaning about it being unfair that Bradford didn't get home advantage despite being thrashed by the team who did have home advantage. |

No I wasn't.
Please point out where or stop talking garbage.
Bradford did beat Salford. Wakefield didn't beat a superleague team and Wakefield ended up with home advantage. That's not moaning it's staring a fact.
In relation to Leigh it doesn't mean they're up simply by beating a superleague team. A championship team has to play 4 superleague teams a superleague team has to play 3.
It's simple maths. If Leigh beat the other championship teams they have to play and pick off another superleague team they go up automatically. Fairness doesn't come into it it's mathematics. |

In your own words, "Bradford thrashed Salford last year and didn't even get home advantage. That's where the disadvantage for Champipnship sides comes in. Bradford beat one SL team Wakefield lost to all of them but got home advantage."
Sounds like a good old moan to me (and clearly to others as well judging by the responses in this thread). |
