Battle for 4th away at Leigh

I think it will be the same score as it was when they played York a couple of weeks ago.

Leigh 4 - 100 Batley

This is shaping up to be a dummy run of the final in a couple of weeks

I cannot see us getting much at Leigh on Sunday. Barrow have got a "tough one" at London..If we both lose it could be York at home?

[phildog]

York can't catch us even if they win and we lose unless they can win by over 200 points so they're 6th fixed. We nor Barrow can catch Halifax so don't be getting ideas of playing York! If we want a home fixture we need a big day of Broncos. Playing at home won't do us any favours financially though due to a smallish travelling support and paying out if we win nor will travelling to Barrow with transport costs and again paying out if we win. There's absolutely nothing in it for us either way.

How do you mean smallish travelling fans, if I remember they brought 2 coach loads down and a mini bus plus cars, that's more than we take up there.

You won’t get anything at Leigh,can’t see it anyway. As for the rest you are capable of beating any of them as you’ve proven this season. Just hope you don’t pick up any injuries this weekend good luck.

If London beat Barrow you will be playing York.

Because Barrow will be sixth and York fifth, but I can't see it tbh. Is it not a shared gate? Seems a little unfair on the away teams finishing 5th & 6th!

I thought play off games were shared gate's?

If Barrow lose and York win, York leapfrog Barrow into 5th.

 it would be Batley v York

Huge game for Barrow. The difference between an away game at Fax or a home game against Batley on the line for them.

I reckon that you have a chance of delivering an upset in this one. Leigh cruising/showboating against a determined Batley - worth a bet for the gamblers.

Nah, I think only one winner in this one and that's Leigh. Hopefully we don't take any knocks.

[phildog]

PM we obviously have knocks already..  no Buchanan, still no Hodson, yet Hooley in squad so no tribunal?

[Piggy's mate]

Maybe resting in the positions we have cover PD, or perhaps knocks as you suggest PD. Either way I'm sure Leigh want to finish their season on a high and push us hard to prevent another big win

[The scrim reaper]

A very tough ask for our part time  boys today,but if you go with the attitude the games already lost that's half the job done for leigh, you have to believe your in with a chance no matter who your playing! Anyway good luck today boys, il be listening in hoping for the best I just hope this game doesn't take too much out of you for the playoffs!

Looks like you are correct. One more game to come this season, maybe?
