| We'll win on Saturday then get at a least 2 points from Leeds and Hull KR and be safe in SL for 2017 as we've got that winning mentality and winning feeling back. I've a sneaky feeling if Leigh do go up it could be in place of Hull KR but is much prefer it being Salford and their loud mouth owner Koukash.

| You guys should win on Saturday, like Leeds you're 'in form' right now, as long as we don't get hammered or lose 'in the last minute' I won't be too downhearted, although gutted we have lost. Hopefully we WILL beat Batley, other results go our way, and that will be enough to gain promotion to SL. Obviously come Kick Off, I will be shouting "come on Leigh, get 'em stuffed" , but I'm not that blinkered, Huddersfield are the best team we have faced so far this season.....and this is one TOUGH challenge for our team.

If you win on Saturday then I will send begging letters to all your squad to destroy Hull KR when you meet .....
Not because I dislike KR (I don't) but just for the mathematical equation that Leigh beat Batley & we have 10 Pts, while KR can only finish on 8 .....
Leigh in Sooper Dooper League, job done, everyone's happy.

Got some Bradford fans coming across t'Pennines t'support Leigh so should be fun,.I expect they will help fill the North Stand.
Hope you all have a safe journey over & a safe but miserable journey back.
Don't dislike Giants either so if you end up safe then fair play to ya.
A lot of RL still to be played before the final chapter is written.

| I'm feeling confident about this one, team is finding form and secindividual half v London they looked like the top 4 side we know they are
Keep that up v Leigh and the win will come
Leigh are nailed on for Superleague now though imo so they can take it easy on Saturday
Here's hoping for Salford v rovers in the MPG with Leeds giants and Leigh safely in super league

I agree brearley, we need to step up our game for this weekend, never mind the SL sides, The only one we have played so far in the middle 8s beat us. I feel far from confident about this game at all, I know we have the players to beat them and we should beat them.
They are a step up in class from our last three games though and the question is whether we can step up with them, The second half against London was by far the best we have played over the last 3 games so hoping that's the way we are going.
If we beat Leigh i will then feel far more confident about KR and Leeds, this is the most important game for me, Most of all our forwards need to be on their game to give the halves " whoever they are " a chance, If we lose the battle in the middle I fear we could be in trouble. That said we have the backs to do a job on them if we choose to play that way.

Yes most of that I agree with I guess it will be same team with Sam Rapira back if he's fit. No way will Stone play Brierley but having him warm up with the team and not play will be worse for the lad I think than playing.
They have a naturally aggressive pack and we need to stand our ground but I think have the better back line and if we can get on the front foot their backs won't be used to the likes of Gerry and Leroy.
Half back wise I rate Brough the best of the four but on current form Ellis the worst.
No doubt if we turn up we can win but that's what we said at Salford.

| Calf injury for Symonds, recurrence of the same problem that kept him out of the side for a while just recently?

Regardless of the opposition, the last 3 games must surely have given the lads some confidence and some sort of winning mentality back, how much we don't know? Leigh are extremely confident, bordering on arrogance some would say, as they have been for the last 2/3 years, we need to get that out of them

That won't be easy- they went behind at KR and didn't get over the line until 30 minutes into the game- that didn't seem to knock their confidence. Some luck involved for them to go ahead true but they didn't panic.
Rick stone said last night that Leigh haven't really been in a "grind it out" kind of game and that's what he wants to happen.
If we are patient rather than go all out it could lead to Leigh getting frustrated- We need to play the game on our terms not theirs and Stones idea seems a good one - when we have played like that against teams with big packs such as hull, and Warrington it has paid off.
with Danny broughs boot on song it will put us in a position to be dictating.
A lot of people have written us off saying we've only played lower league opposition in the last three weeks- yes that's true- but we can only play what's in front of us!
And regarding that something to think about.....
London score v Leigh 30
London score v Batley 76
London score v Leeds 28
London score v Giants 4 ......
