Congratulations on the result today, it sounds like it was a tough outing and you had enough to get over the line.

With 3 wins out of 3 you are on 6 points which is the same as both teams in the MPG last year. You could well get automatic promotion this year with a 3rd spot, I think this is certainly possible for you.

I'd welcome you to the top flight and think you bring more than 2 of the SL clubs that you are competing with, although I'd never want to sacrifice a Yorkshire club for a Lancashire one.

I also think that if you get promoted this year it will make a very good point. I'm sick of the vocal lot who complain about the Middle 8s when I think they need time to be tested. A promotion for you would be a great advert for the format in its current form.

I'd also enjoy a revisit to the LSV, I like going there.

Maybe it would be wise to rest Fui for 3 weeks, drop Spenner in & bring FFMM back for Giants at home on the 10th ?

I like Spencer anyway, underused IMHO.

Thanks Wildshot.

I can't pretend to be a fan of Wakey although I remember really rooting for your lot when Kear steered you to safety in the final game of the season, forget the year but it was a thrilling match.

Anyway back to your post ....

It is [iSTILL[/i a massive ask to get auto or any promotion & just one more performance like that could consign us to Championship RL for years. Leigh still have to beat Batley & 1 SL Club to get the 10 points that will surely do it, they are capable but have to employ SL mentality & focus to achieve the dream.

It is obviously nice when a SL Club fan comes on with words of encouragement or praise but we must not get ahead of ourselves.

What I do think Leigh will bring is a good style of play & a very solid fan base who are loud on the terrace & travel in good numbers, any away Club will benefit financially from that & it adds to the atmosphere, nobody wants to see 50 or 100/200 away fans & a boring team, so please Leigh Centurions, make it happen.

Why would it be wise to rest Fui for 3 weeks? If his hamstring wasn't up to playing this week surely that would have been picked up on in training.

I still think there could be upsets to come in the second half of this qualifiers.Possibly a auto promotion is on the cards and also the MPG might also see another championship team in it..Lots at stake all round at the minute.

That sums up my view.

big difference from last year is the players believing we can overcome SL teams and being able to tough games out,not start playing 100 mph rugby

Its being assumed we will lose at HKR however, we should be looking to win every game and after a two week break this might be our best chance against the remaining SL teams? Does Ryan Brierley have a CLAUSE in his contract that says he cant play against us ? I doubt it !

For me we should treat EVERY game left in the middle 8s like the MPG go all out every time I'm certainly not assuming we will lose at HKR or Leeds,I'm sure Jukesy feels the same way,we are 2 games away from SL let's go all out for the 2 wins.Charlie knows.

No clause, but if Brough and Grix are fit he may not even play. The only games he has 'shone' for the giants since joining them have been against Fev and Batley and Batley won the 2nd half 26-10. Shouldn't that be the other way round with the SL team getting stronger as time ticks by?

Don't forget we will of had a two week break as well

I think we probably need the break more, rather than it being some sort of advantage. If we were playing next week, we'd have a few struggling to play.

Do you think you will struggle to back up 4 weeks in a row after the break then? Including 3 games against Super League opposition?

I seem to recall him scoring a hat-trick in an early game of his Giants career, albeit whilst finishing on the losing side. Can't recall the opposition team. Anyone?

I think it might have been Leeds, but don't quote me on it.
