I really do like the way Leigh have gone about things this year, and HKRs development is a good story also
Both teams are very solid with good pros throughout their squads with a Sprinkle of "X" on both side
I think Leigh just edge it for me

And for Family reasons I'm 100% behind Leigh
Trigger (Neil) spent over 20 years at the club as player/coach/ceo and can't help but feel chuffed/proud and happy after the many lows along the way.
I've briefly gone into it on the new wigan way podcast on this week's episode, and Derek, the clubs and the councils gesture to provide travel/tickets/food etc for 500 disadvantaged families is exceptional

By the way, 52 years ago my Dad went to Wembley watching the Leigh/Leeds final and he had a Big Bet on Leyth that day
Rang my mum and told her to get a train to Brighton on the winnings and met her there.
9months later Voila - I turned up !
They'd waited 11 years for a little un and got lumbered with me coz of Alex Murphy et Al!!!!

And slapping him on the arris!

Well dont turn us down for an academy then when we put forward a very strong proposal and £1/2m a year of our own money - jobs for the boys club, only trouble is Leigh seem to be breaking into that mould

the RFL thought Newcastle would be a better idea, so many lads from Leigh would love to sign there but have to go somewhere else, Newcastle get hammered every week

TBF to Derek, he's doing what he said he would. He's back with a team that will take someone's place.

Glad it all went well for you then
