Wakefield have 18 start on the handicap.

Leigh are 1/10 for a win.  

Going to be a long night in that East Stand.

Lightless Leopards to cruise to victory in one go, Leigh by 40

[Wakey Til I Die]

Absolutely must win for us for obvious reasons and i’m sure we’ll throw everything we have at them. 

So Leigh by 30

I'm saving my tears until next Friday, can't handle the pain twice in 7 days lol Leigh by 18.

[Leigh-On-Kiwi]

Have Wakey already accepted their fate? 

Leigh need/want 4th spot... 

Leigh by a BIG margin.

I really think it's a given now that we are down so no real emotion to come through after these final two defeats.  Probably the 4th relegation I've lived through. 

Our get out of jail card slipped through Lineham's fingers when he failed to take that nothing kick from Blake Austin at 8-6 up v Cas. 

It will be tougher for the under 30s who've only known SL I guess, but nice and painful for a few of our moaning fans who may, hopefully, sod off.

This (even though we re at home) should be our toughest game v Wakefield this season. Leigh win by 10 hopefully

While I agree, I hope that's not what their thinking is. Suspect they thought they'd rack up points at York, we nearly lost, and had a player banned for 7 matches!

Of course, the other route to guaranteeing 4th is to simply win both games.

Feel’s like only yesterday that I was with the family at the Galpharm, Mcalpine or John Smith’s stadium watching Wakefield win the play off final against Featherstone - I think?? Memory not as good nowadays! Sad to think the club could be going back to the Championship. I still have this nagging feeling that two will come up Fev and Toulouse with no team going down at the end of this season. Nothing to back it up just a personal nagging feeling.

Late Sept or early October 1998 that game, I remember it well.

Not sure you want any fans, moaning or otherwise to sod off.

Leigh by 28.

[Johnny Ringo]

Leopards by 18. 

Wakey needed a boost last week, they probably know it's gone now.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Great effort for wakey to go in at HT only 12-6 down.

 

Absolutely hammered with penalties and a sin binning.

Tackle tackle tackle.

Radio saying referee’s having a nightmare and Proctors not been much better.

26th Sept 1998 to be precise. My wife’s 30th birthday and much to her disgust I chose to spend it watching Fev get beat by Wakey thus missing out on our best chance of getting into super league (until this season hopefully).

After the match I made my way to the Batley Frontier Club to meet her and her friends to “celebrate” her birthday. I wasn’t the best company having just seen Fev lose by a fingertip. 
 

she still reminds me of this evening periodically but I often point out that I had Rovers in my life way before I met her - and you never forget your first love

[Futtocks]

Leigh 16:12 Trinity - the visitors are not out of the game yet.
