Well some from Salford thoight it & looks like some from Wakefield haven't realised it yet; just because Richard Lewis wrote the words "Super League" on your sleeve doesn't mean you're going to automatically trounce everyone else. Times have changed, just going to have to keep beating them till they realise that.

Is it always our ball that gets sabotaged? Remember when it fell on the floor years back?'"
Yes, 1972 iirc, last tie drawn, Leeds v no one, as the ball was on the floor, the full draw had to be done again, and in the "new" draw, it came out "Town" at home!

| Its a simple one this - Wakefield are a SL team with SL funding playing at home against a Championship team on significantly less funding playing away. The bookies will give us a start and Wakey will start as favourites.
Hope we play on the Sunday to maximise our following which will have a huge part to play if we are to overcome the odds

| Read the thread and ask yourself why I'd be so vitriolic.
By the way, it's pre match banter, if you care to read my earlier posts I've praised Leigh as a very good team with a great coach who has a big future and Leigh as a well run club.
If you care to reign in your resident trolls then opposition fans won't feel the need to respond.

Banter is great and those who give must also take

| Wakey fans are bothered about facing Leigh. They even started up a thread about us prior to the draw!!
And, now, they know there's a good chance they'll be in that SL bottom 4 and they're bothered about that too, which is understandable.
Beating Halifax at home in the cup, though, isn't an achievement. They're clutching at straws.
I said in a earlier post, if Wakey are still in their current predicament when we play them, they'll not even have the confidence to compete against what we'll take there.

| Bottom line Wakefield are a full time SL team and have been for a long period of time.
They start as outright favourites and will be expected to win.
This Leigh side though plays a brand of RL that is excellent to watch and have a damn good team spirit that money doesn't buy so will be up for the difficult task ahead.
Should be a cracker and I reckon we will take a lot of fans over regardless of it being on TV.

| By then we are likely to be back to near full strength with the big notable exception of Scott Anderson who's our best prop.
The team will look something like this and though still finding some rhythm and match fitness it will be far better than what we've been putting out for the last 6 weeks or so.

| Some on here predicting a comfortable win for us are off their trolleys IMO.
I think this is a must-win for Wakey, it is their cup final.
They are already favourites for relegation, to lose against a Championship side, even one with our record, and on their own middin, would be a real kick in the nuts for them. I could see their season collapsing if we win. Webster has already given up on the season, he is only interested in the 8's, a Leyth win would just put the top hat on it.
They will throw the kitchen sink at us.
I would fancy us at home, no bother. As it is I'm not confident.

| Anyone from either side predicting a big easy win is way off. I do think it's an easier tie than Salford though but that'll be undone by playing away. Wakefield will be favourites being a Super League Team at home against a Championship Team (all be it one of SL quality) but a team that's only won 2 games this season against one that's won its last 21 shouldn't be feeling confident. Think we'll win though.

| Well I hope you're right LS, but as far as Leyth are concerned I'm a glass half empty type.
Been supporting them far too long
