My Humble Opinion Only - let the knockers begin.


Part quote from The Beggars Littany by John Taylor circa 16C

From Hell,Hull and Halifax may the Good Lord deliver us.

Catalan win : Mon Sep 18, 2017 5:27 am  
Is it just my naive nature but were an 'under-strength' side a message from on high, and was that team requested to 'not win' the game saving face for certain people at Red Hall, .
It just seems a little too coincidental that the one needed to win and one did not.

This obviously is alleged and circumstantial, any similarity to H K R /C D is purely in the mind of the reader.

Now now, anyone would think your getting cynical, though in truth we know you have always been cynical.

Personally I'm not sure that Hull KR would have thrown this away given that there may have been more prize money at stake. Does anyone know what the prize money is in the middle 8 for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and the winner of the million pound game? I seam to remember that it £750k for the loser of the million pound game, £700k for 6th, £450k for 7th and £400k for 8th.

And for the life of me I can't see Widnes rolling over for Catalan at the weekend with SL survival on the line because the RFL believe it would be a good thing for the sport.

Personally I wouldn't be sorry to see Catalan lose their next two games, though I suspect the Fev & Fax chairmen might be.

I agree, I really hope that Leigh stay up to prove to the doubters that P&R works but after seeing all the teams now apart from your lot obviously, I think that Leigh and Catalan are the poorest teams and Leigh need to be at home to beat them if they are the teams in the MPG.
If its Leigh v Widnes (home or away) in the MPG I think Widnes will win, sorry Leythers.

Think you are probably right in that assessment F4L.

Whilst our three matches against Widnes have resulted in resounding defeats, our games against catalans have been more interesting:

SL Home Lost 26-37 (pretty convincing)
SL Away Lost 36-40 (a try 14 seconds from the end, having been in front all the game)
Middle 8's Away Won 30-6.

So, a trip to France may not be such a disaster - although very few Leythers would be making a third trip to Perpignan!
