I had a premonition... I'll also be watching the game with Kylie Minogue and being hand-fed fillet steak for the duration of the match

[spanishknight]

Hope Featherstone win but I think Leigh by 14.

More than the Kylie thing definitely

[Snowys Backside]

OK, time to cause a stir and for my side to bottle it. 

 

Fev by a score

[Cw25]

Leigh 32-16 Featherstone

[DavidM]

Leigh by 18

[Tex Evans Thigh]

Leigh by 20

[The Blues Ox]

Yeah Im in the Leigh by about 20 camp as well.

[Harry Stottle]

Is there much between the teams in terms of ability? I would say that Leigh because of age edge it on the fitness front but Fev are more experienced, so it could be down to whichever coach comes up with the best game plan, Lam has not won owt but I feel that McDermott was privileged with the player's at his disposal in his triumph's, should be interesting, I will go with a similar scoreline to the 1895 final again in Leigh's favour.

The difference is physicality. I dont think the Fev pack can hang with the Leigh pack for 80 mins.

I really hope Fev prove me wrong but at the moment like Tex mentions they just look physically imposing even compared to Fev. Long way to go and might be some twists and turns before they meet in the final.

Leigh 18 - 24 Featherstone

Yeah i  agree and as we all know ANYTHING can happen and will as the season progress's.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Leigh by 6.

A very close game that could go either way especially if Leigh dont dominate in the middle. We struggled at PoR when Fevs forwards hit the deck quickly and surrender wasn't called, leaving the Hooker and halves with plenty space to suck us in, but we have props available now and the team has gelled especially defensively.

Really looking forward to a contest of RL at the LSV, thought Fax would do that on Sunday btw, as both teams are too good for this comp.

18 all

The real question is how much more the losers will spend on signing new players

I think both teams have significant reserves to call upon and will have one eye on putting together a fully competitive SL 17 come GF time, as that is the only way to get a chance of survival.

Yeah that's how I see it at the moment. Wasn't confident before the 1895 final and even less so before this one especially with three of our starting pack from Tottenham uncertain to play.

If we can hold up to Leigh physically and not consistently lose the collisions then I'd give us a definite chance, but that's a big if.
