At the moment East are playing very well , thye have had an absolute terrible season with injuries and suspensions , at the moment they have a full squad to pick from and have been giving all the top teams very difficult times

As you know down in Wales we lost 2 players in the 1 st five minutes and were already a player short

Not the point , East have not called a single match off all season but are now going to be denied the chance to make the play offs

I would take Easts to beat anybody except maybe the Miners at the moment , and we made things very difficult for them the other week

All this comes back to the picking of 6/7 players from Celtic earlier in the season for the GB team and yet only one from the 2 Leigh teams

If your face suits you get what you want , discraceful

And what have we got exactly?

A draw for a home game that was called off, a defeat which was drawn up by the magic calculator for the miners away game and a draw with you lot which would have meant an 18 point improvement on how you did down here.

I think it is plain to see we have hardly done well out of this.

Wait there a minute, it isn't me who is talking crap here.

If you would have beaten us 150-0 up at Leigh East you would have one more point than you currently have. Surely it is down to you losing the other 6 games, including one against us, that gives you headache you lot currently have. I say we would have been on point better off after our game against you, you think you could have gained a point.

Surely losses at places like Saddleworth and home and away to Featherstone Lions are more of a reason you are in the position you are in. Correct me if I'm wrong here but you're currently in the top six anyway?

But it is now out of our hands if we stay there because of other clubs problems

Looking at it another way East Leeds have to win both of their games to go above you lot being 2 points ahead of them with superior points difference.

If they do that the point you would have got from beating us, which I don't think you would have anyway, would mean nothing.

I would wager a guess the point you would have got will not come into it either way. The only way it would have any bearing is if East Leeds won a game and drew one. I can't see that happening.

www.sportfocus.com/webpro/rfl_le ... /index.cfm Puts your therory out, as according to the table East Leeds have 3 games left, we now have one instead of 3, how can they let them play their 3 and not us, when we havent called a single game off in this comp? The game between you and the Miners means nothing as Miners have a far superior GD and therefore cant be caught. You could however have come down and played us instead.

Well we've played you at home so how have you got to play 2 less than East Leeds.

Once again you have a point from our game when you could have had a maximum of two. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't make a lot of difference.

yes it does we had chance of 6 points and the way were playing, I think we would have got them, and now we can get 4 max.

How can you get a max of 4 if you have one already?

They have declared our match at West Hull a draw as well

Had 3 matches = 6 points

Now 2 draws leaving one match = 4 points

It was BARLA who decreed that Leigh East had to play a Cup match that day and were not able to fulfill their fixture against the Crusaders. So as Crusaders and Miners were without a match it made sense to play the one that was organised mid-week.

So blame BARLA (and the weather) for all the cock-ups this season, but mainly BARLA.

BARLA have spoiled, for me, what was a very enjoyable U-18 campaign to date.

It has ended in a very farcical way. What now if a team has trouble making a play off game? Decide who wins it.

How they came to the winning margin for the game against Leigh Miners is beyond me too.

they came up with the winning margin of 18-0 because celtic did not fulfil the fixture that the result given to any team that does not fulfil a fixture.

i think it disgusting that celtic are being aloud to play the game again, if it was any other team that FAILED to turn up for a fixture they would have been booted out of the league, but OH NO IT CELTIC CRUSADERS LETS BEND OVER BACKWARDS FOR THEM.
