"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

It's the intensity and speed which will make the difference.'"
Wasn't that 3 years ago? |

There is your key reason for the upturn in form from Wakefield at the end of last season. Getting rid of one failing coach and bringing in Webster boosted the poor morale and led to your players pulling away from the relegation fight. Many teams pick up after sacking a coach when the new man comes in. Without even thinking too hard two good examples spring to mind. London Broncos had a good end to the season a couple of years ago when Tony Rae replaced their sacked coach. About ten years ago Hull won something like 13 in a row and reached the GF after sacking the coach. There are other examples in RL and other sports. Hadn't you also got Tim Smith back (who works very well at your club) not long before as well. |

seeing as there are only 5 full time referees, you would assume they will be given the 4 top 8 games, with one of them dropping down into the middle 8's as required each week |

Leigh prepped to be firing on all cylinders from the first match which is why everyone in Leigh is getting excited but will ultimately be dissapointed.
I've not seen anything that suggests to me anyone will get promoted yet.
Leigh's squad is pretty average looking tbh. Look past Hock and Moi Moi and there's nothing that will compete in superleague over the course of more than a one off game. An injury in the backs and they're down to picking players like Michael Platt. Half of the first 13 nobody following a superleague club will have heard of.
You don't win anything in march.

I'd prefer to see factual evidence to support your assumption. We must be doing something right to have you reply without even a word about the Bulls.
Shows to me your more concentrated on us than your own team.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |
