I can see Leigh going the whole season unbeaten and that includes the challenge cup
Lowtown Sparrow do you agree with my above comment from 31st December
No. Think every team will have the odd off day & someone will be able to catch us out if our off day coincides with their good day. Wouldn't be surprised if we go undefeated in The Championship but don't expect us to. I think the Qualifiers are too far away to make any prediction on, a lot could happen before then, we could have a bad run of injuries going into the Super 8s or a SL club could go bust and two Championship clubs could be promoted. Although I think we're SL standard this year I don't think we're top 8 SL standard so very much doubt we'll go undefeated in the Qualifiers. As for the Challenge Cup it all depends on the draw, we've made it to the Quarter Finals the last few years & put up a good game in them, I'd be very happy if we made it to the semi finals but again don't expect to yet wouldn't be utterly amazed if we did. Think to get to the final you need a lot of skill & a lot of luck not just in your own draws but in that the top teams all draw and knock each other out along the way.
Predictions
Win The Championship with ~1/2 defeats.
Put up a good close game in the Challenge Cup quarter finals, lose by less than 12.
Qualifier Super 8s can't say what's going to happen in 7 months before a competitive game has even been played.
