Sun 5 Sept: SL Magic: Leigh Centurions v Hull Kingston Rovers KO 17:30 (TV)

[John Drake]

Discuss Leigh Centurions v Hull Kingston Rovers here.

[Loiner]

Rovers to trounce the cellar dwellers.

[Old Frightful]

Who's idea was it to finish off both Magic Weekend days with fixtures involving the Hull clubs?

As with my lot, Rervers conceded 40 points last time out, and on Sunday they face a team that conceded 60 last time out.

Were Leigh saving themselves for this weekend?

Even that probably won't do them much good.

Rervers 38 Leigh 22.

, I expect us to to ? , not sure on this one

Leigh have a chance in this game. They left most of their best players at home for the Catalans game but they all return rested up for the magic weekend.

Rovers meanwhile are looking pretty busted with every game bringing fresh injuries and several players only being able to play jabbed up. They desperately need key players like Jordan Abdull back in the team but alas no sign yet.

For sure I would back Leigh with the 16 points start the bookies are offering.

Not really ' most ' , we just don't have the numbers to do that , ' some ' yes 

As for HKR , well chasing a play off brings pressure , that means players sometimes playing through the pain barrier , the Robins still big favourites , but with no pressure and 3/4 ' rested ' it's possibly a chance to grab a scalp 

[Whippet13]

The pressure is completely off for Leigh now they are relegated and have avoided zero wins thanks to the Salford game, so I can see them benefitting from that and going out to enjoy playing at a big stadium, whilst HKR are the ones under pressure. Rovers win is still most likely but I think a Leigh victory is on the cards.

[Harry Stottle]

Never once have I fancied us all season, but for some reason and I don't know why I have a feeling we may just sneak this one, I think the player's may just put everything into this, not just physically but mentally, in a lot if games we have lost it is obvious that has the game progressed the grey matter has been out of sync with the body, also nearly all of those guys are off contract this season and they will be hoping for a gig with Leigh in the Championship.

[sweaty craiq]

Leigh win - 2 games to go and we have a squad to select from for the first time. We wont get rolled down the middle and may have some second row strike at last, weak spot will be Sau's wing/centre area

[Snowys Backside]

I have backed Leigh at 9To2.

Why not ?  We are ###### aren't we ?

Hall an Minnikin will need to be kept quiet but with the whole day bounced around Derek's great bike ride and Cancer research charity day, why not and who bloody cares ?

Enjoy the day Leythers. I wish I could have been there to join you

[clogdance]

I don't think we'll get hammered , but Rovers by 16.

[bobbruce]

That’s a poor penalty against Sau you could see both hands on Halls back. 

[bratman]

How was that overruled?

[Futtocks]

Well, this is quite enjoyable so far. Two teams willing to try whatever comes into their heads.

[Padge]

Nice try from Leigh, against all that was being thrown at them.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Bit of a kit clash. White Vs light grey. Considering these are both "event" jerseys specially chosen, you'd have thought there'd have been done coordination with the colour.

[bratman]

And that one was lost!

Mr Moore sees things others don't.

[Harry Stottle]

A good rub of the green and all the 50/50'S not going just one way as seems to be the case and Leigh could be in with a chance.

1st try should have stood though. VR got both wrong IMO.

[dkw]

That made it look like Haggerty was DJ'ing then.....

HANDS IN THE AIR.......

Well can't believe that despite relegation we are still being caned by the most inexperienced ref  - which we have somehow had all season  -  we are goosed and KR will run away with this, so that all can say how poor we are again.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

I reckon that signifies home time for the majority of the neutrals.

Oh give over, nobody has it in for you. You are team thrown into a league beyond you, the refs didn't put you there are even ask for you to be considered.

[bratman]

Leigh look poor again.
