So Leeds have beat London by 50+ points twice this season, beat Widnes by 30 odd, Wakefield by 50 odd, Bradford by 40, Hull KR, Catalans and Salford by 28.

Yet against Leigh they've only been given a 28point handicap at HOME. It either shows how far Leigh have come in last few years or have the bookies got this one spectacularly wrong? We're good, but surely we aren't that good.

Leeds -28 from a gambling point of view is buying money.

Wonder if the clubs emphasis will be on the cup game or the Fax game 5 days later?

Can anyone recall a time when Rowls hasn't fielded his strongest 17. I know the prize money for first is decent this year but anything less than our strongest 17 on Friday will be a kick in the balls for the fans that go week in, week out.

Provided everyone is fit I think he will go for

McNally

Higson Pitman Armstrong Kay

Riddy and Kes

Spencer Beswick Emmitt

Haggerty Goulden

Barlow

Bench Wilkes Penky Hopkins Acton.

I would probably wait and try and find out what line up Leeds expect to put out before getting giddy and putting the house on it.

If I were Leigh i would rest some players because you only have to look at Sheffield and Fev in recent seasons and how it affected them playing SL sides to see it might not be worth the risk.

It's sport. We play to win. Every time.

I would play Littler if available rest Tommy Goulden for Wed bring Brown back from Batley and shove him straight in against Leeds any of the forwards who have injurys from Worky I would rest and bring in couple of the Reserve team Ostick ect

I would put Kaye marking Sinfield

Littler won't be available as he is on a month's loan to Rochdale. He can only be recalled once his initial month is up.

Leeds will beat us no matter what team they field, by more than 28, i will be there friday no matter what team we put out, HALIFAX is the important game, if we beat fax we are virtually gauranteed top 2

I think you will find the handicap will change when the teams are announced 48hrs before k/o.I would go for Leeds -44.

Exactly, there is no other way.

A solid performance by us would lend some much needed credibility to the championship division, not only that it would give our Superleague aspirations a real shot in the arm.

Credibility does not allow you to go full time. £500,000 does. Any other season then fine but this season is the most important for many a year. I will not be disappointed if the team is changed.

If all fit, I think that would be my 17 also.
