Quote Cherry_Warrior="Cherry_Warrior"I think everybody (outside the bottom 4, well 3 apart from Leeds) wanted you to be promoted because you deserve to be there. I want to see Wigan v Leigh in a league game again. I want Leigh to prove they arent just a flash in the pan. I think you will easily be in the bottom 4 next year, however i do believe you will be way to strong for the following middle 8s. I think Leigh are here to stay.'"
Leigh are going to have a massive step up in weekly intensity next year. This year, most of their games have been won at a canter (which isn't a criticism, you can only beat what is in front of you).
Next year, they will be playing SL teams every week, and not just the ones who have finished at the lower end. Can they cope with a run of games against the likes of Wigan, Hull FC, Saints, Warrington etc? They will also pick up far more injuries due to the high intensity of the league than they have strolling past part-time opposition this year.
I hope they do well and they deserve their place, but a gruelling SL season is a completely different proposition to the previous two years.
