Here we go, big big week and game, what do you reckon?

I'll go...

Leigh 32-24 Halifax
Att 2800
MOM Littler

Leigh 72 Fax 1

Brierley's 6 try performance gets him MOM
Penky's bizarre grubber kick hits Parky and sneaks over crossbar
Rhino is sacked as yet again the Fax fans are seen crying in public.
Attendance 2957 and a whippet!

We draw Batley in quarter finals after they dump London out of cup. Their travelling away fan was more concerned that he couldn't buy strawberries and cream to be washed down by a glass of fine claret to follow his pie and peas.

We only beat Fax away from LSV, will this buck the trend?

Fax will be up for this after last week and Laithwaite will be a big loss, as will Spencer.

With question marks over Bibey, Parker and Taylor I feel Fax will sneak this one by 8pts, but lets hope the 18th man can get our lads on a roll.

Crowd 3200.

Could Laithwaite play? Hes unlikelyto playfor Wire in the cup now and he hasn't already has he?

I doubt it mate, I reckon they will keep him available in case they pick up injuries later in the competition.

My prediction is Leigh 30 - Halifax 26 with attendance of 3,400
Lets hope the atmosphere is as it was when we went to the NRC Final. ..and its my birthday too a double clelebration when us leythers win

Depends who we have available and how we play of course.

I don't buy into this they always beat us at our place buisness.

This season and last are clearly different for more than one reason.

22-20 to Leigh

hopefully we can drown the fax fans out and keep them quiet. 80mins great escape anyone?

Leigh by 14,

Leigh 24 Fax 18 and a 'hard-fought fight' - Attendance 2899 - but wot do I know? We have beaten them twice this year - lets make it a 'Hat Trick'

I reckon this may only be won in the last 5 minutes. 20 odd 20 odd, not sure what exactly but only 2 or 1 point in it. I really don't know which way it will go, too close to call. Their defence surely will be better and they will be better on attack which will even the game right up. Crowd hopefully to hit the 3000 mark but more likely 2600/2700.

If PR has the lads in the right frame of mind i predict a score of Leigh 28 v Fax 18 , but what do i know ?I said Fax would win the previous game ,Cmon you Leythers do us proud AGAIN .

As for the crowd we have to many fine weather fans only attending Finals ,2500-2700 i hope im wrong there to though.

Leigh 36 v 24 Fax. Crowd 2302.
