I'm not sure what will happen now with Lee Smith,it's a puzzler,but Jukesy has a nice delemma when picking his 17.
Smith has hardly put a foot wrong since he arrived at Leigh IMHO. It's a shame for Lee that he had to miss out on that Salford game & feel he should get another chance. Smithy has a better defence IMO than Greg Mc, physically bigger & stronger too so maybe Jukes will highlight a game where Smith would be the better option. Don't get me wrong, Greg is fantastic for Leigh but can be a bit vulnerable near our line, having said that he is a brave lad, as he has proven several times.
I agree it's a must win game for Leigh, as every win we achieve takes us nearer the 10 points we need to get promoted and avoid the MPG ,but for Fev I can't see how it's a must win game , they probably won't win a game in the 8's and that's no disrespect to them, they are only playing for pride really,though I don't doubt they will throw everything at us early on,Leigh are a completely different Team this year and will weather the storm and win by around 12 -20 points.
Charlie, Was a good call on your part yesterday and good to catch up

Theoretically you could need 4 wins to make the middle 8, normally 6 points would be enough (maybe with points difference) to make 5th and the MPG.
There are 28 games in the middle 8s therefore 56 on offer (the bottom 3 teams have to have a minimum of 6 of these points (three games that only include these teams), therefore the distribution could be 10, 10, 10, 10, 8, 6, 2, 0 for example and therefore 4 wins to get 5th. however the distribution is more likely to be something like 14, 12, 8, 8, 6, 6, 2, 0
Anyway safe journey over to anyone making the trip, hope we can get 4,000+ for the game.
DemonUK,
Almost there 3644, was great to see so many Leigh fans at the game, made for a great atmosphere.
Just go and complete the job now and get promoted (that way we can keep our record of 4 consecutive years as table toppers for the championship)

Dave was good to see both you and John yesterday ,I knew it would be a close game, and I think a lot of credit must go to Fev , not only for keeping themselves I the game throughout but for making Leigh pull out all the stops,you could see from the Leigh player's reactions at the end of the game they thought it was tough. Anyway Dave we may see you at Salford in a couple of weeks time as Leigh play HKR on the Saturday afternoon.

Sadly had to miss yesterday due to family commitments. In a way glad I did in the sense that I struggle to cope when we play the last 10 minutes like we have on about 8 occasions this season!!

I maybe should stop going to Leigh games since I have been present for 5 of those games - Fev x 3, Bulls at the bash and Sheff away, and saw the Salford game on TV
