If we win Friday it will be a new addition

A 1 point win will do me !

A one point win would definitly delight this party, Snowy, and he'd look forward to your tag on when you next post. It hasn't changed for too many years but, after last night catching up with the near miss at HKR and seeing a great TEAM effort (well done JD), let's watch your space. Errrm, so to speak.

Snowy those results in your messages are over 5 years ago, so you need to update all your losses since then to be up to date. May aswell put the 1980s results up.

Word of warning, York sustained 6 injuries last Saturday on that plastic pitch, so we could be depleted for the game on Monday against a resurgent Dewsbury.

We didn't win many in the 8’s either

How do you come to that conclusion? Widnes are unbeaten at home & play on a plastic pitch that gives them a big advantage not to mention we have never beaten the mutants on their new pitch. They have a decent team & coach & are a dangerous side as they are making up the points deficit. What a stupid statement on this thread you started but you are pretty deluded & clueless so it's to be expected.

As I said, I'm not overly concerned win or lose. Two quick games in quick succession with no depth in squad is reality. Not sure how you pick that up as being a stupid statement. I'd rather have 2 points out of the weekend than none.

Really ?

If Widnes do the treble over us then they look nailed on certs for top 4, even with their points deduction.

Its imperative Leigh win both games. Doing this put us in good stead awaiting yet another game (against Widnes) in a few weeks.

Widnes are still a handy outfit and I would be really disappointed if we cannot beat Dewsbury.

Thats dependant on all other results going in their favour, along with winning their other fixtures.

Although they may possibly reach 5th as the playoffs are top 5 not 4.

Widnes have a squad full of youngsters and not many experienced players due to administration. All season tickets have been paid beforehand and Widnes are not going to spend on loan players. To be honest I will be happy to come mid table, and I feel we will end up about 7th or 8th in the table. So we are no threat to your top 5 hopes as a few more injuries we are at bare bones.

That's the stark reality for most of us in the Championship. Without our D/R or loan players, we are also at bare bones. That said, arguably our best two performances (both in the Challenge Cup) have been when we have been in that situation. We've been very lucky with injuries up to now - touch wood that continues to be the case!

Re: Widnes v Leigh : Fri Apr 19, 2019 3:33 pm  

Looks like another away loss, Josh Woods is a passenger, do they train him at Wigan to lob up last tackle kicks to opposition wingers?

No good beating bottom 4 teams home & away, we fold against anybody decent.

Frustrating.
