well if survival is finishing 5th for the second time in a row then yes I'll except that

5th-8th is mid table mediocrity. More so this year as 1-4 were decided 8 weeks ago....you were playing dead rubbers and FC in freefall combined with Catalans still drunk after the cup and "bi-polar Huddrsfield below you is no real feat....ad you get the same money too.

oh and good luck with game at the weekend I'll be rooting for you but you do realise you will be favourites for the drop next season

Thanks and as I've said, I don't really think we should go up and believe we may well be favourites to go up next season

We should never have left the Stoop, but that's a whole different discussion on a whole different board, although it's good to know that Wakefield aren't moving any time soon...if you catch my drift

Back to the topic. Will Leigh be able to field 17?
Can't see past a hiding from Fev....Fev 50+ Leigh 6

Well, with a following wind ie Leeds making Briscoe and Newman available on DR, Fev will probably name 16, of which 1 will be very unlikely to get on the pitch, 1 will be struggling from the moment he comes on and a further 1 will probably be hoping he doesn't have to do too many minutes. The 2 remaining fit props in the squad have rotated by taking it in turns to do 80mins the last 2 games. So probably nowhere near as one sided as you suggest.

Thackeray & John Davies suspended today.

If we are in anything like the state we were in last Sunday, it WILL be one-sided. I think Reynolds should be back for Leigh, maybe one of Adam Walne/Mason, maybe Dawson-Jones (if he gets paid!), maybe Cox, if he isn't working. To balance that, Dagger will be out, and I hope Higham recovers from Dewsbury!

Was it only two you had suspended?

Once the LSV is finally demolished, how many houses could be built for local residents in its place? 400+ I expect?

Ladies soccer will keep it going.

Surely the RFL could allow leigh or featherstone bring in BARLA players or 'free agents' for this game. Even allowing for any payments that may not be forthcoming, as long as they are insured, this is best the solution in my opinion.

This was my thought aswell. Dont quote me on this but im sure years ago a SL team was allowed a dispensation after the deadline because of injuries etc. I cant see why a dispensation cant be applied in this case

This makes grim reading, from the Leigh board. 9 currently fit players, 3 more to face fitness tests on saturday. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2018/10/0 ... enturions/

Yes, obviously it would set a precedent but this surely calls for some common sense.
