I am pleased with the start - against a side who lost 2 and drew 1 to finish the season thus far,while we go into the next phase with 3 wins and 1 of those wins being against our 1st opponents.



I am even more pleased with the home finish,two home games against Super League sides who may very well feel down and out by that stage - or safe!



The only complaint is the quick turnaround from Sunday to Friday - away against Super League opposition to a home game against Super League opposition.



I can't see any other club having that situation.



However,I don't envisage any problems for our players continuing their winning run.



Best of luck to them...

I admit our form hasn't been great going into the Middle 8s, but we look like we've been pacing ourselves for a while now. Our star player has been fit for a few weeks now but not risked and we had half a team out against a Halifax team desperate to beat us and lost by 4 points. We have our first choice 1, 6, and 7 all to come back in, and Dane Nielsen.

How amazing and predicted sky have choosen Leigh to be televised in two of the first three games!

Sky pick the games which they feel will be most interesting. There's no secret to it.



We'll be on if there's something at stake. If not, we won't.

After the game at Odsal - Gaskell missing would be helpful

After the game at the Keepmoat - Mullaney missing would be helpful.







Reading the Wakefield website after round 5 Sky still to decide who/what/where to televise.Interesting with our 2 home games to come - Just need to be in the mix.



Interesting that Salford have a Forces triple-header as a pre-match appetizer lined up,and the 3pm k.o. still to be confirmed.



With that and the television lot plans should still be in abeyance still all confirmed.

For me unfortunately you guys are in just to make the numbers up, no disrespect but I can't see you winning a game,whatever the Angelic Cynic thinks,still never mind.

As much as I hate the SMUG Leigh,I have to agree with the Clown,you Eagles won't win a match in the 8's ,just not good enough.

But what does the talented half of your partnership (Mr Richards) think?

Unfortunately I don't think we'll win a game in the Qualifiers either but I hope to be proven wrong. But, it has to be said, I did predict Sheffield to finish 5th before the split so I have been wrong before and will be again.

1. Widnes

2. Hull KR

3. Salford

4. Wakefield (Losers of £1m game)

5. Leigh (Winners of £1m game)

6. Bradford

7. Halifax

8. Sheffield



I've gone against my pre-season prediction that there'd be no Championship club promoted for next season. After watching Leigh play in the Challenge Cup against three SL sides, albeit in 'one-off games', I think they'll move on up to the top tier after slipping up a few times in the regular Qualifiers campaign.
