Btw, Cats are one of the three SL teams that Leigh have not beaten this season (Rowley's Salford and blo0dy Wiggin being the others). Chalk one victory each (at least) up against those teams and, regardless of the Challenge Cup or play-offs, this will be a statement season that IMG cannot ignore.

I know what you're saying but, Lammy will continue to play any player he desires, and won't ease off. He never has done. He will continue to play with momentum.

Fringe players are usely loaned out.

Of course he will be selective in choosing his interchanges on the bench.

Cokey, we are on the same hymn sheet but no one sings the same hymns every Sunday.

Lammy should and will play his best available 17 tomorrow. But, with all due respect to York, the game SHOULD be a foregone conclusion come 50 mins (10 mins after HT to blow all Hendo's speeches out of the water). THEN conserve energy, avoid unnecessary confrontation and/or injury and be in the best shape to try to make it 10/10 in the South of France.

COYL!

Of course. I think I'm getting excited by singing out loud, rocking all over the world.

I think it's written in the stars. Wakey and York away get us to the SF and then 80 minutes away from Wembley. If Saints get to the final, we will be massive underdogs just as we were in '71. What a great story. Leythers for the Cup for me!

Final 18

Credit to York, they put in a massive performance today.

But I have to say that I feel we, as a team, didn't give York the respect they deserved. We didn't do the things we know that need doing to set us up for success, tried to shortcut the process. We got drawn in to the niggle early on and didn't keep our discipline.

All said and done, we're in the semi's but bans could cost us dear. I hope Kai's good record means his ban won't be super long, but it was a terrible tackle but very out of character. Zak might get 1 or 2. Think we can deal without Zak for a game or two, bring Leutele back in and play Umyla who went well today. Going to miss Kai though, as we're already short in the 2nd row.

Not a good day. Kai will be a big miss. We won however.

Awful performance, yes we won but it’s was a very painful watch. No excuses apart from cockiness and arrogance.
Full credit to York but my word did we under perform
Kai will get a lengthy ban , Zak and Asiata my also also have a week or 2 in the stands

At least Kai and maybe Asiata will get the rests we've been hoping for

Pessimism says that is our season now. We're safe but probably not in any contention to be in the play-offs either.

Its a tough run of fixtures now. To get a result at Cats, regardless of our form would have taken a might effort.

Hull KR are pretty handy, with only home advantage getting us through much like vs Hull.

Cas away would look to be the easiest but you never can tell, the Salford and Wigan away.

I just wish we never had to play on TV, off the top of my head we've only ever had about 3 cracking performances, the rest have always caught us at our dopiest.

Still, more than I could have hoped for coming into this game.

Credit to York, though we maintain a flawless record against white rose teams this season

Lot of pessimism here. It was one of those games you should walk but the team had 6 or 7 changes to it and complacency crept in as well. Normal service was resumed at half time winning last 30 mins 28 to nil. I think it will be Leigh v Wiggin final just like FA Cup was City v United. Like I've said, it's written in the stars and nothing can stop Leigh lifting the Cup

I don’t think complacency crept in but stupidity dashed in. A simple game plan would have given a comfortable win but an arrogant, reckless ‘lets put these upstarts in their place” attitude will be punished with deserved bans.

Kai O’Donnell (Leigh Leopards) – Grade F Dangerous Throw – Refer to Tribunal

Zak Hardaker (Leigh Leopards) – Grade C Dangerous Throw – 1 Match Penalty Notice

Ava Seumanufagai (Leigh Leopards) – Grade B Dangerous Contact – 1 Match Penalty Notice

Tom Nisbett (Leigh Leopards) – Grade C Dangerous Contact – 2 Match Penalty Notice

is Grade F a 6-8 game ban? Can see him getting the full whack
