Of the current top 6 incumbents I think Leigh could be the ones who really drop away. Partly because they are the newly promoted club, and despite how well they have done I think the week in week out rigours of Superleague will start to catch up with them eventually. But more importantly, their cup semi is in itself the biggest game the club have had in a long long time. If they actually win the semi, I can see the rest of the league season almost being a write off for them in a similar way to how we fell away in 2016. Its a big distraction for them.

We could have done with Warrington winning but it's funny seeing them fall apart again after the way they started the season

Yes, although the way Wire are playing they could get dragged in to the playoff scrap themselves yet. They've got Saints and Wigan in their next two games.

Firstly well played to Leeds. Thoroughly deserved the win.

But as an advert for Super League I thought that match was an embarrassing mess?

Some players (mainly Warrington) and the officials should watch that game back from behind the sofa and cringe at how bad they were.

There was petty squabbles going on well away from the play and the officials lost all control with players continually arguing with them.

The farce over awarding Warrington try on the big screen just looked so amateurish.

Any NRL fans watching that down under must be thinking wtf.

All this in a match officiated by Chris Kendall!? It can't be true.

A normal championship side promoted with lots of championship players in I might of agreed

But given all the SL experienced players they've got no chance

Likes of Lam ipape are class aswell

It's a long-shot but we could be sat just 2 points behind the champions of East Hull after this round of fixtures.

Only team with no ever presents this season.

Re: Season over ? : Fri Jun 30, 2023 7:44 pm  

I know it's only Rovers but this is another impressive Leigh performance. They have a real chance of a trophy win this season.

The question is can they replicate these performances on a big occasion.
