| Mathematically there is still plenty for all the Championship teams to play for. My own side Bradford are in the driving seat but if you guys turn us over at LSV then it will go down to the final match and possibly pd. We haven't had a great couple of weeks and if Gaskell still isn't fit then we might be lacking a bit of confidence. Should be another cracker, pity I can't make the game this time around. I think ultimately this year will be a big lesson for all the Championship clubs and nobody will go up this time around.

who's blaming the budget ? They were due a win against us, and fully deserved it. Scoreline flattered us.

| Budget isn't an excuse others have used it before today, I explained we have been in every game bar Salford & Fax and in front in two. The only thing that's let us down is discipline and tactics two things that should be instilled from the coach!
To be making the same errors today that we made in the second half against KR is unacceptable!
Get Purtill or Noble in and freshen the squad up! Unless we are happy being a championship team.

Can't suddenly start blaming the coach.
The team has been coached to bully teams all season long with no complaints.
Now it's 7 full on games, the coach gets the blame for teams being able to compete and match the 'super team'.

| We did a decade without a play off win until last year when it didn't matter as the job had been done. Maybe we do not know how to play play off RL when it matters

| he has a point though. Leigh always seem to struggle in end of season play offs with no obvious reason for it. But always seem to get up for cup finals

In that case,we better make the £million game and treat it like a cup final.

| Haven't posted for a while but in my opinion, which i have said in the past (look at my past posts) that PR hasn't got what it takes to take us to SL he is a very good championship coach but not SL, full time players against part time players should win every time with no excuses.
Do we want championship rugby or SL? with PR as coach i can only see championship rugby

| If any team missed as many tackles or didn't complete as many sets whilst coming up a good well organised side they would lose.
Leigh are no different.
Missing Goulden and Barlow through some of these play off games costs us as the tackles they get through isn't picked up by the others.
Tbh we look like we've run out of steam a little but the boys need to have a good look in the mirror as far too many not doing basic stuff (that you don't need to be a full time pro to do).
Higson Leighs MOM before being seemingly flattened as he scored a try (Just as a separate point , if a Fax player cops a ban for this surely its of no benefit to Leigh infact its a hindrance as Fax now play Wakey and Bradford and any weakening of the Fax squad doesn't help our cause so it would be Leigh that lose out on all counts!).
Today Reminded me of the year we got promoted to SL and when we turned up at Fax and underperformed right across the board and was blown away - the outcome from that debacle was a promotion, lets not throw the baby out with the bath water just yet!

| We both need to win our last 2 games to have a chance to get into the "million pound" game. IF that happened (unlikely!), then it could well come down to points difference between 4th, 5th and 6th. Fax made a mess of it with their game against the Eagles...
Exciting though, and far better than the closed (and bolted) door that we've had for so many years!

| Genuine question. The Leigh fans were "booing" quite vociferously at half-time, but I I couldn't quite work out why? The ref's decisions seemed to be a little strange at times, but from what I saw he was equally bad for both teams? What was that about (easy answer is regarding performance, but I didn't feel it was that?).
There were a couple of "on report" incidents, and it could have got out of hand (credit to both teams), but generally played in a tough, uncompromising, but not unsportsmanlike fashion?
