Leigh need to improve defensively, especially at the beginning of both halves. Against HKR & Salford we gave tries away at the start of each half. We also did the same against Bradford in the league match at the beginning of the game. They need to be switched on for the full 80 minutes otherwise you get punished.

If we can beat Wakey, I'm sure Leigh will be in the million pound game. It's a must win game before we have the break for the CC final.

Not necessarily a must win at all IMO, the performance is probably more important - we need to show we are learning to compete at the higher level. Reality is kicking in for some of the fans at the moment, 3 must win games to come after this. A win opens the possibility of top 3, and every chance of home game in the million pound game.

Lots of twists and turns still to come..And who thinks Championship sides will lie down and roll over are also kidding themselves.

Yes agreed, I think the Champ sides are now realising the gap and getting up to speed, hopefully not too late, plenty of interest still in this league.

For Leigh and other Championship teams to have any chance of progressing they need to drastically improve defensively. After the two reality checks, the target is fifth place.

I think they need to improve in weaker areas that the SL teams exploit.All down to management when those areas are being hammered,I'll leave that to the coaching staff. Third place for me is still very achievable at this point.

What are the weaker areas you have identified?

He didn't identify them. He said he'll leave that to the coaching staff.

Well they have up till now.

Obviously you would have a better measure of that sort of thing than most on here.

You can put your mortgage on one SL club dropping points this weekend.

Which one was that then?

Still believe in the above?

Widnes.
