If at first you don't succeed.....

I'm beginning to think I'd rather take an honourable defeat at Wembley then lose to these upstarts. We really need to beat them up badly.

Albert Kelly injured I've heard tonight

Sarah still hasn't got back to me.

She'll eat you for breakfast

Personally, I'm not confident about this fixture ......Leigh are obviously a Super League team due to their full time professional status and we have decided to rest a few due to our recent escapades.

I think after this fixture we will be a force to be reckoned with as every player will be giving it everything they have in order to put themselves forward for a Challenge Cup final spot in the team ......This fixture is a week too early for us and given who we are playing, I'm not altogether confident ......But hey, if we can do it without our first choice prop, centre and half back then that only bodes well for us in the rest of the middle 8's and the Challenge Cup final .......If we win with the team we put out then my confidence within the coaching staff will go from strength to strength ......Come on Rovers!!!!

Would have thought SL survival would play a part as the main priority..Obviously not were your concerned.




Its now called the Summer Bash and you may be joining it after your Wembley appearance.



Yep and good luck..

PATHETIC.....they NEVER try and persuade LEIGH fans to visit their trendy establishment.

I thought that was NL's version of Magic Weekend? I think he was on about Northern Rail Cup Final in 06.

Glorious weather today in Leigh - so those travelling have a safe journey and bring sun cream, not a cloud and 25 degrees

Like it or not Leigh are now in the same league as Rovers, not a 'lower league team'.
Whilst everyone is understandably excited about us having earned the right to play in the CC final, we have also earned our place in the middle 8, as have Leigh. In league terms, we are on a par with them. Massive game to win, not far off a must win in case our performances do suffer due to the distraction of Wembley.

Kelly confirmed as out and an early doubt for Wembley. Lateral Knee ligament damage I think they said....
Oh dear.

Good game so far at half time.

You've had little enough entertainment lately, so I won't begrudge you. If we didn't have the schadenfreude, eh?

Given Leigh's home form and our away form, I was nervous. Still very poor to be 18 down by half time against anybody. This qualifying 8s looks like it will be gut churning.
