Not really...
Big clubs look to finals.
Little clubs look to rival wins.

In our last time with SL status were the same against Wire near enough (though they were carp an all).

Neither of those are looking good for you, are they?

2 V 1 thats one win each, wow what a 'lead' you have, plus its not our coach who has said we will go all season without losing

Tonks got a 2 game ban and a fine......so wont be playing on Thursday, RFL made an example of him which seems VERY harsh IMO as a SL player wouldnt of got banned.

Maybe you do need that calculator then
I know... that was Barrow's

why not mention 'challenge cup finals' while yer at it ?
History is relevant, albeit 5, 10 or 50 years. The only one I care about is 'on the actual day' after we have met, and I am very confident Leigh will have won, we usually do against WIdnes, well in recent history. (5 years)

I never said who's coach it was, just that our coach didn't say it, I was using it as an allegory re people counting chickens before they are hatched.

True enough, Widnes have a better track record than us in recent years for winning things.

I'll bet that for all the bluster, they're not expecting it this year though...

I am expecting a good season from widnes as we have strength in depth this year in all postions.Even with depth Betts is already looking at dual players from Wigan.

William Hills website is on the ball. They say the 2011 Championship is opening with a Yorkshire derby leigh v fev. Giving fev 4 start.

I love the Leigh forum. It makes a really good read and every year you see the same stuff. Best pack in the league, best team in the league, unbeaten all season. I think this could be the season where you may actually achieve one of them. Its going to be an interesting league as i think Fev are a touch weaker and teams like Leigh look to have improved. Widnes wont be anywhere near again, their team looks very average and with Betts at the helm they dont stand a chance. Same goes for Barrow, i wonder who their next coach will be. Top 3 will be Fev, Fax and Leigh in any order. I think im going to wait until we have lost our first 3 matches before putting money on us though.

I'm with you J20. I think the top four will be Fax, Leigh, Widnes and Fev. In which order could go down to who has the best squad and gets through tricky games when they have got injuries. I think Barrow will be a threat in about 6 weeks time when they've got a new coach.
