Strange that this isn't one of the two games picked for the main channels, since it's pretty much the only game which can alter the make-up of the Top 6.

[The British Lion]

This will be a great game!

 

[Thunder Road]

Leigh to win but not by enough.

Leigh by 28

I don't think this game helps either side the week after, both will be wary of injuries and possible suspensions. But at least there is something at stake. Narrow Leigh victory.

More like jazz tevaga to wear a scrum cap to stop his brain falling out.

Not happy about this as a trinity fan. Would rather it have been a dead runner to allow some few rotation options. 
 

Both teams will be going strong in a physical battle that will no doubt be bruising week before first round playoffs. The first half especially will be very heated I would think. 
 

I suspect Leigh will want to beat trinity by 28 or more. Trinity have only lost twice this season by that margin. 
 

Leigh could throw ball around a bit and be adventurous but that could also work against them. 
 

Im expecting a pretty close game though and a bruising battle with less than a try to winner. Could go either way. 
 

How is this not on main sky channel?? It’s the only match that really matters.

Basically it's sort of a free hit for Leigh this in my opinion.

Expectations are that a 28 point win is highly unlikely, whilst finishing 5th or 6th means a play off at either Warrington or Wakefield which are both equally difficult but equally winnable games.

Looking forward to it.

Leigh will be 5th. 
 

Leigh Miners could beat that HKR side playing Saints !

[Taffy Tiger]

To be fair the Wigan and Leeds games are the ones that really matter as they will ultimately decide the LLS winner . Highly unlikely that Wigan will lose , but with it still being mathematically possible , and with the presentation of the trophy at full time , it has to be these games on TV.

Although Wakey could make third , at the end of the day the Leigh v Wakey match is just to decide who gets home advantage next week when these two most likely meet in the play offs and that's the game that will really matter!

When was that game where Saints were expected to be presented with a trophy following an expected win but they lost and the camera showed a guy removing the trophy from it's plinth.?

[Salford Devil]

Should be a good game this one. I have a feeling Wakey may pip it.

Maybe not Saints? 

The Sky camera showed a trophy being removed from the plinth when the expected winners were heading for defeat.  It was shown on the big screen causing the opposition fans to laugh and cheer.  The "club" complained to Sky regarding lack of respect.

It was Saints.

No Hamlyn-Uele tonight.  Big loss and even bigger ask of Jordan Williams to make his debut(?)replacing him on the bench. 

Dream Team selection this weekend.  Hope it doesn't take the committees eyes off Caleb.

Game over for us.

We look spent....

Leigh at Wakey it is. Pressure on them just like it was when they snorted us at home and we snorted them the week after. 
 

Lino running the show.

If this is the only game he plays and he doesn't score, does he still have to do the nude run?
