Is peter kay a leigh fan?
leigh will be in the bottom 4, maybe even bottom. they'll win a few games at home but their pack is old and/or average, their half backs probably the worst combo in SL and their 3/4's and FB are bottom 2 SL/top 2 championship. With 2 or 3 injuries I can see them being very uncompetitive
They and widnes look to be the 2 worst squads at this stage and both will be bottom 4. Depends on whether they have any cap left to spend come the middle 8's but if I were a rovers fan I'd be confident that going into the middle 8's with a relatively fresh, injury free squad that my team would finish above those 2 plus the top 2 championship sides get the extra home game in the middle 8's which is a big bonus |

So, was this:
(a) Entirely Dixon's fault, or
(b) All down to the ref
With so many choices it's hard to decide who to pin it on. Maybe option (c) is correct, we were utter gash. |

A fully fit and well prepared Rovers 2016 would still have an edge on this years' squad IMO. Even the patched-up, cack preseason version almost had enough to dodge the drop.
We've got a fantastic squad by Championship standards but we'll have to strengthen further to have a good shot at home advantage in the MPG again or, even better, top 3 in the 8s (IMO). Let's not forget that until Leigh did it, there was a widespread assumption that a Championship team wouldn't gain promotion through the 8s, and even some of us said things like 'as long as we beat the four Championship teams, then...', as if it was almost a given. Leigh's promotion gives us greater hope, but also means that relegation-threatened SL teams won't be complacent.
Direction of travel is important though, and we do seem to have bounced after relegation. Maybe Widnes have run out of steam in SL and/or Leigh will hit the SL wall hard. Or somebody unexpected will have a stinker.

I think Widnes have done just what we've been doing over the past few years, an that's floating about, making up the numbers. Their time could be up and a reality check ala ourselves needed. The difference with Widnes being they will struggle to come back imo.

I seem to remember a huge Catalan pack, including Willie Mason, run all over our forwards and Richie Mylor kicking us to death.
Did Rangi Chase Start last night's game injured ? He looked very slow and Cas definitely moved the ball around more after he was replaced.

That 40-0 dry bumming we got at home last season from Catalans. Yes, 12-0 down in about 5 minutes and we hadn't even touched the ball. The whole team didn't turn up that night. Stewart pressed and tackled Bobby Blair into oblivion, Kelly sauntered around clueless, our forwards were trampled up the middle and Dixon got embarrassed by Jodie Broughton. It was one of the 3 worst performances of Dixon during the last 2 seasons, along with his horror show at Wembley and his ssss take in the CC defeat to Oldham. More of the same on Sunday, please KD.
Widnes need creative halfbacks and quick, as do Leeds. Both will struggle until they recruit in this area or until respectively Joe Mellor and Jordan Lilley return.
Didn't French John go back to Lezignan from where he came originally? Loved that little guy.

Rangi got a neck injury, he failed the head test and didn't play at all 2nd half. |

cheers for that, certainly looked off his game, hopes he's back soon and it's not anything long term. |
