Well if the fixtures alternate home and away (like they should do) the schedule should look like this:-

Salford (H), Leeds (A), London (H), Hull KR (A), Hudds (H), Fev (A), Batley (H)

So no champ side till round 3 - 1 week earlier than last year though!!

Tony the answer is a resounding YES ,we CAN do it, let's not get carried away though, granted today was another good all round display,the Nil pleased me as well, I thought McNally and Higgy both had good games , our halves are looking very good, and our pack is very good.Where is Hock?The answer has to be we can't play them all, it's a great position to be in,with Hock , Mitch Brown , and maybe another signing?I'm sure Fax and Bradford would love to be in our position,but they do have an 8's Comp of their own to compete in.Don't forget let me know if you want a lift away.Charlie knows. .

Hi Charlie, I would really love Leigh to finish top of the 8's as you predicted on the Fax board but sadly the best I feel you can hope for is promotion through the MPG.

BFG now I get it you will have me down as predicting RM for Coach of the year next .I HAVE said Leigh and Fax are not in the same League anymore.

Leigh finish top of the 8's? Deary me, I doubt any Leigh fan worth his salt would remotely suggest so.

Not even the most delusional of delusional amongst us.

That explains it then.

GFB is honest so I believe him. Would hope we can do SL C SL C SL C SL

I think it's tougher than last year since no SL side looks as vulnerable as Wakey did last year. However Leigh do look better to me than last year having ditched the "Hail Mary" rugby for something more suitable in close games. I think you're more likely to get in the MPG than any other championship side and then who knows? Best of luck!

Re: Can we really do it... : Mon Jul 25, 2016 3:44 pm  

I suspect that Leigh will turn at least one SL side over this year; Huddersfield look to be the most vulnerable.

I also suspect that you will beat all the other Championship sides although it's probably better to play Fev later rather than sooner as they are currently on a roll.

That, I believe would get you into the MPG, probably with home advantage, which would likely make you favourites.

Interesting/scary/exciting times for you lot.

Edit - oh, yeah, good luck!

Seen a few good luck messages from fans of other teams this year

Maybe we aren't quite as universally despised this time around!

Probably due to the bulk of our fans staying a bit more grounded.

Even Derek has been keeping quiet this season!

As for the question in the OP, of course we CAN do it, but it will be exciting to see if we actually do!

I think we stand a better chance under Jukes than we did under Rowley. Much better prepared to deal with any adversity that comes at us than we were last year when the team just fell apart in front of our eyes!
