Halifax are beatable at the moment to be fair. There are games to win for you, it's going to be tough to stay up which is a shame but you can still do it.

Good luck guys, I do mean that.

So if Batley lose all there remaining without a BP we are safe if we get 2 BPs (pts diff means 1 won't be enough) or one win, against either Toulouse/Fax or Haven. On current form can you honestly say we can do it?

The only way I see it is if Havens play off place is decided and they rest a few. Then again we could beat toulouse as they don't travel well so we are told just after beating Fev at Fev and Featherstone have just beaten Widnes.

The form lines....they say no

Ive never known so many pessimists to gather in so many numbers, were a point behind Batley with a game in hand, were a point ahead of Gateshead, again with a game in hand, our fate is in our hands. If the players went out onto the pitch with your attitude youd be on their backs quick enough, SHUT UP AND GET BEHIND THE TEAM.

At the minute we are the weakest link , we are the ones who need a massive change of form

All Gateshead and Batley have to do is continue what they are doing , ie scoring points , because of that both of them will pick up more points , be they from wins or bonus

I am behind the team, WE CAN ALL HAVE OPINIONS AND WE CAN ALL SHOUT. But I don't want to do that. Pessimism/realism call it what you like but don't tell me to shut up.

To get back to the original question, me! Batley wont pick up anymore points with their remaining games being so hard and we will get at least 2 more bonus points, maybe even 2 wins.

And what do you think all this will achieve? As I said, our fate is in our hands, only we can do something about it, and all this "were doomed" mentality and attitude will not help, and if you are behind the team, then SHOW IT.

Barring Batley getting a real upset somewhere, I think we need 4 more points to be safe.

I reckon:

Batley 27
Leigh 29
Gatedhead 29

I'll look out for you scoring a try next week, not missing tackles or dropping balls. Only the team can do something about it in reality....yes thats what this is, reality.

I really didnt think I would have to explain this but...when i say we, i mean the club, the players, the fans...I would have thought that was obvious...even to you. As for saying that only the team can do something about it, dont the fans have a part to play? Or should we all sit here and be quiet and miserable? The reality is that we ALL need to get behind the players, not get on their backs, and then expect them to go out there and give their all, would you? I dont think you would. I look forward to hearing you get behind the side next week. Again, if you dont have anything positive to say, you know what the alternative is.

Come on Leigh!

You don't have to explain. I can say come on Leigh with the best of you, cause you are better than me. I can also be realistic, Fax scored 36 points and lost today. We haven't scored more than 32 in a game all season and that wasn't even against Doncaster.

Looking at the way you are speaking to me, if we god forbid do go down, I am sure you will be ready to blame it on the pessimists, rather than rank bad club management, rank bad recruitment, oh and a rank bad team.....good players but not a team

wll said dparky.The team needs our support,lets give it to the french aussies big style.they ruined my trip to toulouse.I even went to bed early after the match,admittedly much the worse for the ale after the match and a short sojurn to the melting pot.so come on u LEIGH!

Im no better than anyone else, neither am i any worse, and Im well aware of the shortcomings of the team, as, im sure they are, but that doesnt mean i have to be pessimistiic, I can be hopeful about things. All im saying is that we should be supporting the side, not writing them off.

I know that we havent scored more than 32 points in a league game this season, I also know that with this weekends results, we are in a better position than either Batley or Gateshead.
