Middle Eights : Tue Mar 29, 2016 9:45 am  

In all sincerity, as a Leigh fan, the chance to play Leeds this year would be brilliant.
Hopefully, at the LSV in front of a full house.

Our attack is ok, but our defence is no where good enough for SL opposition yet.
Would be interesting to see if we have progressed from last year.

SL is very competitive and the margin between winning and losing is very small now, so that will be tough for us in the M8s.

Things are bad, but Im confident we wont be competing in the middle 8's.

Suppose it's another competition for us to win now that the other 3 are boring and beyond us...

The would be a challenge for the commercial team - selling corporate package for Leeds v Batley

John Kear's return to the big time!! Maybe they could carry him on a golden throne

Re: Middle 8 : Tue Mar 29, 2016 3:44 pm  

Based on last year's standings Leeds need to pick up 16 points in 15 games to achieve 20 points which would have got a team in the top 8 last year! We still have to play St Helens and Warrington again and Wigan twice yet!

Argh sod it, lets go middle 8s, no chance of top 4 so a nice little tour around playing the likes of former great clubs such as Bulls, Leigh Halifax etc... may provide some good days out through the summer

Now this is my Dream fixture as I go to nearly every Batley game and I also go to Headingley when the Rhinos play
I think the only chance that the two sides will meet will be in the Challenge Cup though
