Plenty of rugby still left to be played and I expect there will be another shock result or two before the qualifiers are over with. I'm pleased with today's Bulls performance but it'll count for nothing unless we can string a couple of similar performances together. Leigh have had a tough start but as long as the losses haven't dented confidence, I expect you'll get a couple of wins on the board by the time you face Bradford. That in all likelihood will decide who gets a crack at a SL spot.

Bottom of what? A mini league that isn't complete yet?

5th spot is still there for Leigh.

But...

Ultimately, wether we get promotion this time or not, it's all about learning how to steer a ship in this new format. Because, again, promotion or not, we're going to be involved in these Qualifiers for a good number of consecutive seasons yet. Losing our first 3 can only help us in the long run I believe.

Quote: LeythIg "Hull KR - Should've been smart enough to close the game out. But stupid passes on our own line, and ill discipline cost us. I do agree that fitness needs to be better though
Salford - Gave us a good hiding
Wakefield - Should've been smart enough to know not to push the pass 2 mins before half time with a 10 point lead. Both games 1 & 3 were games we beat ourselves in when in winning positions.

Fax are a dangerous team, and do think we'll struggle against them at the Shay.

Top 5 will be the SL clubs and Bradford.

Now please calm down and ease off the CAPITAL LETTERS'"


Another Cas fan here, but with a different viewpoint to above poster.

I am massively impressed by Leigh's "total rugby" tactics, they must frustrate and amaze your fans in equal measures but there are times when your style and approach make you so refreshing to see in the modern game.

I personally think it might just be down to lacking a couple of extra athletic forwards if you miss out on promotion but if the confidence and passion/aggression is maintained (whilst obviously reducing penalties) you could well go on and win your next four.

Best of luck!

Quote: Cokey "To be fair Pat, you sound like a true Leyther. But it must be better to have the glass half full.
Thanks for that mate, true Leyther indeed, born and bred (used to live in Kirkhall Lane!)

Wish I could have the half full outlook but I speak from bitter experience. Just a couple of examples - I saw us beaten by the mighty Blackpool Borough in a John Player Trophy semifinal and mullered by 90 points by the equally mighty Workington Town.

Where Leyth Rugby are concerned I'm the eternal pessimist!!

Just beat the crap Championship clubs and you'll finish 5th. Simple as that.

I appreciate that you're a great team but at least give the Championship clubs a little bit of respect?

I'm with Cokey on this.

Was at Widnes today and I also watched their game at Fax.

Was chatting to a Widnes fan on my way home and he reckoned there are a lot of twists and turns to come yet in the middle 8's.

My view is we need now to win our last 4 games and that is possible.

Oh and just to let Spegs know I have a higher IQ than him' although everyone who reads' or has read our respective posts will know that so I guess I need not have mentioned it.

Widnes could get dragged into the mix. They have 4 points, but have already played both the part time clubs. They come to our place next and are clearly a team that struggle on grass.

Still a lot of rugby to be played. 24 hours a go, everyone had written the middle 8's off, Now as things stand, Bradford go straight up and Wakey/Salford fight it out in the million pound game. It will change again in a fortnight. The week off will do Leigh good as well.

Still a long way to go.

By all accounts from the men in the know,we should be pretty good on plastic when we meet Widnes.

Quote: tigerman1231 "Please explain how you should have won the 2 said games was it your god given right to win these games as you were the superior team?
If you should have won these games you would have done FACT is you LOST so you shouldn't have won these games.
Hull KR big lead at half time blew it in the second half ran out of gas NOT fit enough LOST game
Salford BEAT you in every department in that game and are getting beat in every department by Bradford today lucky you.
Wakefield who finished BOTTOM of Super League with only 3 wins all year 2 of those in there first 2 games (1 againt Cas) beat you yesterday and had the Ref had any boll0cks would have beat you even more convincingly.

Face it you have found your level and will NEVER be Super League.

Just hope Fax get it right against you on the day then you wont even be in the "Million Pound Game".'"


You have found your level also,you'll never be a top 4 team..Welcome to reality.Now dribble back to where you came from.
