7th would definitely be a disappointment BnB.
To try and claim some Mystic Meg points I can go back to Mar 03 in the Get In There Josh thread.
“said it before and will say it again. Josh will be right up there in the try scoring charts this season. He looks to be in the best shape for many years, and he has always been a class finisher and a workhorse coming away from our own line”
After the first HKR game away.
As SS said, our two wingers have been very good to say the least. As has what we almost all thought was a light weight pack.

great summaries

Salford have a toughie this weekend (Saturday) away against a KR side that seem to be in form. They then host Cats who will still be gunning for a top two finish and thus a home semi. Lose either and they cannot catch Leigh.

Warrington face Saints at home (without Williams) then go to Giants. Wire have an 80 (in game) points superiority over Salford. Top six is theirs for the losing in this book.

Leigh are all but home and hosed and, whilst no one wants to commit another club to relegation, the lads have a job to do against Wakey this Friday to make things safe. COYL!

Bongser, I must disagree about not wanting to relegate another team. Castleford and Wakefield have taken Sky money and used it for survival purposes only. In the time of IMG their stadiums are an absolute disgrace. Wakefield have at least realised this 30 years too late, after promising to upgrade the stadium every single year. Castleford have a draughtsman who dusts down the plans every year, before blaming the council planning department.
These are 2 teams that stuck the knife in DB's back and he like me, will be glad to see a team go down that is not Leigh. Wakefield knew this was the year not to go down, but they went cheap on a coach and did not replace the best players that had left.
The Challenge Cup may have been serendipity, but this is hopefully schadenfreude.

Take the point that to stay up it will inevitably be at the expense of another club, another set of fans. Just won't enjoy the fact that it looks like being Leigh that (nothing is a given, mind) applies the [iquietus[/i.

I will have zero guilt in watching us put 40+ past Wakey today and sending them down, they and others shafted us royally 2 years ago... Karma is a bitch as they say... Meanwhile we will win the race for top 4....

The predictions in this thread don't get any better.

The unflushable turd has finally been removed at least

Let's hope Salford do us a favour at HKR today. A win for HKR and I can see them putting a big score past Wakey next week. Very tough ask for Leigh next week against a very in-form Wiggin, but you never know with this Leigh team, plus we may hopefully have Asiata, Hardaker and Halton back.

Tight at HT but KR up by 6.

Not to be. We move on to Round 27. As the top three teams are tied on points, can't see any of them playing weakened teams as they have in previous seasons when already nailed on for a home SF.

The lads have a job to do for fourth.

We'll see. COYLL!

Agree B&B. I did predict 4th, and to play Hkr at home in the playoffs. That could be reversed now. After saying that, we've had a fantastic season, and far exceeded all our expectations. It will be interesting to see what the boys have left in their tank. Remember the saying, it's not over till the fat lady sings. COYL.

Prediction Leigh to finish 5th. On the other hand it would be very sweet indeed to deny the Pies the League Leaders Shield (Hub Cap). Even a draw would be enough to achieve both goals.

Very ambitious there SS but, you never know. With the C Cup in the cabinet, we've nowt to lose. We should also remember Wakey took the spoils against Wigan in a golden point thriller.

I think I did alright. Pretty spot on with my analysis. Feeling very smug.

Have to agree there ML. I’m a glass half full guy and saw top six at a push, but you put way more sound (and proved correct) reasoning behind what you said.
