Yes they dipped badly last week , they scored 34 point at Gateshead

Robbie is sill coming though isnt he? he should be reasonable against the skolars and Hunslet.

You need to beat Toulouse at home, they can be beaten if you throw the ball around but by the sounds of it you dont so it will be a slog up the middle which they will win.

Yawn, did anyone not expect Gateshead to win at Toulouse?

No reason why we cant do the same job on Toulouse next week.

Methinks a "carrot" in a large brown envelope is needed for every game till the end of the season. There needs to be an incentive for this team to be motivated now. Desperation stakes I'm afraid otherwise it'll cost a lot more in lost revenue next season.

I always believed we would stay up but now I'm genuinely worried!

Minor point Lynda, but I think you meant 'hello Championship One'?

Yesterday's result wasn't good, but we are still a point in front of Gateshead, with a game in hand. Our chances of playing well up there, will hopefully improve soon.

Our destiny still is, and always has been, in our hands. If we play as poorly as we have been doing, there's no chance. However, if we play as well as we did against Widnes, and Sheffield, and in the first half against Barrow, then it can be a different story.

Batley - Sheffield (H) Whitehaven (A) Halifax (H) Featherstone (A)
Leigh - Toulouse (H) Halifax (H) Gateshead (A) Whitehaven (H)
Gateshead - Leigh (H) Barrow (A) Doncaster (A)

The games in bold i think are the games that will be won, it doesnt look great for Leigh and IMO it will come down to your final game of the season.

Interesting, eh?

However, from another perspective, they all would want us in - in most cases, their income from away supporters would take a dip, if we went down.

Doomed unfortunately.

An awful lot rests on that Gateshead game. If we can win that I think were safe, but the question is. Can we win it?

I cant believe you think the a conspiricy going on ask any sportsman and they will never ever throw a game. You get the exception obvs bbut if Leigh go down its because we are S**t not that other clubs have thrown games

Exactly - and it's still in our hands. So, it's very much what we do, that influences whether we stay up or not.

We are where we are and now a win at Gateshead is a must.There isn,t much point in saying what we have done wrong.


In the unlikely event I was picking the backs for that match I,d start with Donlan fullback, wingers Stanton and Dollin centres Higson and Nanyn halfbacks Hemingway and Watson.

Forwards I,d look at our squad for the best 6 tacklers.

Todays Batley v Sheffield result will be worth looking out for.

The 'funny' results started a few weeks ago when Gateshead beat Fax and Batley beat Barrow on the same day, this has been followed by the drawn game between Gateshead and Batley. The day above when Gateshead and Batley beat the top two was the day our fate was effectively sealed IMO.
