Smudger06 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Looks like 3 straight victories with a huge points difference racked up in our favour going in well warmed up for a 1st game v a playoff spot rival, Toulouse. Shame no Newcastle away. Hopefully away crowds will be allowed to travel to the new York stadium, although doubtful cos its early?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because of the late start, there wouldn't be time to fit in a full 26-game season, especially with the World Cup starting in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Batley and Swinton last year we were one score up with 15 minutes to go. We barely scraped past League 1 Barrow in the Challenge Cup with a late try. I like our chances this year, but surely years of following Fev in this division have taught us not to take anything for granted against the "less fashionable" teams?

Shame no Newcastle away. Hopefully away crowds will be allowed to travel to the new York stadium, although doubtful cos its early?!? After the long lay off and the amount of new players that need to get to know each other and the difference in rules from when we last played. It will be difficult to assess how good we will start. Apart from London away in 2020 we stumbled and stuttered though we remained unbeaten at the cut off point. In 2019 we were handed out lessons by Barrow and Dewsbury who perhaps exceeded their own fans expectations. There are no gimmes except perhaps Halifax away. Just kidding Ainley Top. Nowt wrong in having confidence though Smudger in a very talented squad. Can't wait for it to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I remember about 5 years ago Derek Beaumont predicted Leigh would go through the season unbeaten, their first game was against Batley and his prediction lasted 80 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dews barely got into our half in the first half yet beat us with a late Anthony Thackeray drop goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardypaul Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Which is what worries me. I like Webster but he is still unproven, if Carr was in charge with this squad we would walk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Rochdale at home a few years ago. Don't go making predictions to be shot down. Let the team just get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
