Leigh will be going up for sure. They are fully confident too.

I disagree, I don't think anyone will be switching leagues come the end of the season.

I think Leigh will be with us in CH and it will come down to a dodgy on field decison

Leigh and Bradford have contributed well to the Championship and have been a level of ambition for other Championship teams. Over confidence into the M8's can find a team in turmoil if it comes crashing down.

RL is an ego based sport and as a win can pick a team and player up, equally a teams confidence can fall of a cliff very quickly. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but the players seem to have been stagnating. Realistically this weeks match is important for confidence. Win Lose or Draw is the nature of sport and the euphoria or disappointment is part of it all. I might be dubbed OLD FASH but I wish Nobby was on the books this week for consultancy ....

I honestly thought at the start of the season that no team would be promoted, but now I feel with the confidence and momentum we have, especially if we win our remaining 3 games, then a lot could depend on the order of the fixtures for us and if ours are….

Wakefield home …Tough game could go either way but winnable
Fax away…..Any team wanting to play SL must win this game
Sheffield home…As Fax
Salford away……if we win the 3 above this will seem a home game therefore winnable
Widnes home…As Wakey but we do seem to have a hoodoo over them
HKR away…would put this down as our most difficult and a possible loss but if we are still riding on the crest of the wave, you never know
Bulls home….it’ll all depend on how we’ve both gone on in the previous games, for us it may not matter.






That said and you may find this surprising I have been wrong before

Re: Final games and 8's : Wed Jul 15, 2015 2:13 pm  

I think Widnes and Wakey will be in the Championship next year. I'm not sure who will replace them in SL but I doubt either will last more than 1 year.

Re: Final games and 8's : Wed Jul 15, 2015 3:39 pm  

I think on this years performance so far we may finish just outside the promotion slot, unless we get our games together then i we will be up.

Re: Final games and 8's : Wed Jul 15, 2015 3:58 pm  

I don't think Lowes will be too concerned about us flying under the radar. Effectively we are in pre-season now and it would be useful to have a high intensity workout against Halifax with nothing held back, followed by 2 weeks of the right balance of training and rest. The majority of our players have good experience of playing at SL level and this will be invaluable.It looks like Kelly is joining Campese on the sidelines for a few weeks........ that must weaken the team I considered most likely to cause us problems.

I thought leigh were already promoted?
