As a formality I’ll open this post.
I don’t fancy us for this one. Hats off to them they’ve gone for it. Let’s say we’ll have to play very well and they’ll have to rest more than a few for this to be a competitive game. Having said that a total spanking will undo some of the good work Eccles has done so I hope they can give Leigh someth8ng to think about (as opposed to racking up 60 odd).
Long old trip to Sarf London for this one. I’ll have to have a good old think. Think my hair could do with a cut and that car isn’t going to get cleaned by itself.

This is exactly the type of Game that Hughes expects die hard fans to get behind........an absolute tonking by a side that a few years ago we'd have swept aside as an afterthought........BRAVE NEW DAWN my 'arris...I sincerely hope they bring 10 coachloads down and give as a 2k gate, so Hughes and Loubser can tell us how wonderful Wimbledon is.

Yep, this is the sort of game that will show where we are as a club. If we want to be getting 5,000 fans then we need to be fighting for promotion and winning against teams like this at home.

Or at least putting up a decent fight. Not simply rolling over which is what I fear will happen on Sunday.

Let's see what happens but the foot seems to have gone off the gas since safety was ensured.

whats worse is I expect Leigh to rest a few, but still score 50+ on us

It’s not nice to see but a lot of hard work went in to keeping us up, once you’re safe the mentality will change for sure. The players wouldn’t be human otherwise.
I hope the players play for pride, put up a good fight for us fans in the last two home games..Give us a lift at the end of what has been a long hard season to watch ( mostly).
Actually make next season something to look forward to, not to dread.

As great as the Cake man has been, & I'm pretty sure we would have been relegated under Mustard, I still think we need a good experienced Head Coach to move forward. But as we all know, appointments are not Dave's strong suit.

Neither is decision making. What is his strong suit ? Just the cash, I guess.

Is Dixon still on their books. Not sure- he was at the Cup Final.If he plays I bet he causes problems.
