Amber?!?!

Very good but wrong....you know the word I censored began with an s and rhymed with bright!

[stevereed100]

Lets hope the game is a cracker, been waiting excitedly for 2 weeks since the Salford game.

If Rovers win then another year playing the big boys beckon and Leigh may be reduced to qualifying for the final decider. With Leeds and Huddersfield yet to face they may just slip up.

A Leigh win and the cards are all up in the air, beat Huddersfield and SL beckons. Rovers then face London, Featherstone and Huddersfield....a challenge but could still place 3rd.

Being involved makes the Qualifiers an exciting concept to end the season but to continue we do need a Championship team to go up this or next year.

Slight?

 

Doesn't make sense.

5 wins are key, to do that we must beat two SL teams and all championship, SL clubs need to beat just one SL club to get to the same mark assuming they beat all championship teams, love London to do Giants tonight to throw it wide open.

Back to this game, it's KRs to lose we have our season on the following two weeks, win them and it's party time

[sweaty craiq]

Ps am aware Salford must beat Leeds after losing to us and KR

[Bartholemew Smythe]

Why? Their last 3 games are against all the other Championship sides.So 3 wins in their last 3 games would give them a total of 8pts.

​The results so far have made the qualifiers much more interesting this season.

 

Realistically (as a Leigh fan) we cannot expect to win this game if KR play to their full potential.

 

That said we have a squad that will be competitive for the 80 minutes and let us just hope it is a cracker of a game.

[GaryO]

The big problem for Leigh is Albert Kelly, quite simply put he is a class above anything they have had in opposition this season, and to compound matters he has just got a "go faster haircut". Seriously the squad Leigh have could live with any present SL team - 5 years ago, but this is now and therein could be their undoing, keeping up with the speed of the game, they need to slow it down and possibly could be a tad short of pace especially in the closing stages.

All that said let's hope we have a good close game, really looking forward to it.

On reflection having just seen the squad another minus for Leigh is the inclusion of Travis Burns, I'd sooner have 1st Degree Burns could be less painful!

[Ant]

Very interesting game this in the light of the Giants winning

I'm not sure who I want to win...if HKR lose though they will be worried

[Old Frightful]

I'm not sure who I want to win

I'm the same mate....

What makes you think Burns will make the 17? But if he does and scores the winning Try I`ll be having a toast for Burns Night

[Ullman]

The weather's been beautiful here in East Yorkshire this week but it looks like it's going to turn nasty just in time for the game. Heavy persistent rain is forecast for the duration. Could make things interesting.

[Southampton Leyther]

Just setting off now!

 

HKR rightly strong favourites but on the day you never know what will happen.

 

Come on Leythers!

[Lobbygobbler]

A Leigh victory here would be massive and would also open the door for London next week, who play Hull KR at home

 From Southampton?!?!

 

We'll put updates on here for you.

Kelly suspended with immediate effect.

[terrywebbisgod]

No Albert Kelly for rervers. He's been suspended by the club after returning late from a trip to Australia.

And earlier in the thread people where saying he is the big difference! Very interesting turn off events.

Which is why I posted it. As you say a very interesting turn of events.Seems odd to suspend him for quite a big game.

[Old Frightful]

Anybody spot the plane I'm piloting?

Beats a few old sheets hanging off any road bridge.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Outstanding

[The Phantom Horseman]

Was that a team warning after 3 minutes?

[Lobbygobbler]

Hicks is desperate to keep penalising Leigh

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Getting bored of this referee blowing his whistle. They are allowed to control the ruck a bit!
