If Hudds do lose to Leigh next week then both Leigh and Leeds will have definitely qualified (providing Leeds don't slip up against Batley). Couod add a different dimension to the Hudds vs Leeds game the following week if Leeds know they're safe.

If we beat Leythers then your boys have to come to ours and win.

We wouldn't have to win (although it would help), would still have a home match vs Leigh to confirm safety and given our points difference (and a potential big win vs Batley to boost it next week) then we could even lose that and will probably be fine on 10 points.

Yeah we could even watch footage of all Hudds playoffs games in recent years to help master the art of laying down at this time of year.

You don't need to master the art- you've managed to do it perfectly well all season with the same players who won the treble-you've mastered it all....

Quite funny coming from a team that finished dead last and were comfortably beaten in their only game vs one of the genuine contenders in this Middle 8's, the one that then went on to lose to the other three genuine contenders.

It'll be well over a month since you will have last played SL opposition, won't be easy to readjust to the difference in levels.

It won't be. If you beat Leigh & Leeds and HKR win all their remaining three then you'll all be on 10 points and points difference will come into it and Leigh's will probably be the lowest.

Beat the Giants and we won't care against Batley

Could be a good few rested if & a Big If we win tomorrow.
1st choice players deserve a rest & to be fit & raring to go at Leeds, which incidentally then becomes a massive away day Centurions Party !!!
