Sunday - York (H) : Thu Aug 18, 2022 10:12 pm  
Cannot see a shock result coming.

York have been a disappointment this season and despite splashing the cash on some players with serious SL experience their development seems to have stalled. If anything they seem to be going backwards and are way too inconsistent to offer a realistic threat.

Even their coach James Ford is not escaping criticism from some quarters of the York fanbase who are now questionning whether his time at the club should be coming to an end. Crikey, how short are some people's memory. Its only a season or two ago that he was being hailed as the best coach in the division and also being eyed-up by SL clubs.

Jack is his usual confident self. Sunday will see nothing less than a comfortable Leigh win.

I too can see nothing other than a Leigh win, and if Featherstone lose at Barrow we win the league and probably squad rotation for the remaining games and rest anyone with any injury niggles before the play offs. The pressure is then on Featherstone and Halifax for who finishes second.

Leigh and Fev are the standout teams in the Championship. It is unlikely that Barrow, as tricky as they can be, are going to upset Fev on the Barrow midden.

The task is simple keep winning and SL is ours. Leigh put in a good performance at Newcastle with a makeshift back line. All credit to Brand and Nisbet for coming in and doing a job.

That is an impressive squad. When Ben is fit, it is going to be a tough choice for 6, but I’m looking forward to seeing Lachlan play in the flesh.
My last game was St Helens, at LSV, when we beat ‘em in 2017. That was also my Dads very last game before he passed a couple of weeks later. An emotional return for me in many ways but I’m buzzing to see the lads play, and for my Canadian wife to see her first ever Leigh game in person.
Also very excited to meet the great Bongser and hopefully Charlie Carroli before the game.

VL, hope that you enjoy the game. Good to see that you are meeting-up with Bongser and possibly Charlie before the game.

I see that York are struggling with injuries and are down to the bare bones of their squad. They are struggling to name a match day 17. I suspect that there may be one or two tactical withdrawals as well as important players are rested for future games when they may have more realistic prospects of success.

I hope that I am wrong but I am getting the feeling that tomorrow's game could be a bit of an anti-climatic walk-over. We shall see. As I said, I hope that I am wrong because I have every intention of going to the game as well.

Thanks Jack. The lads will play whatever is in front of them and do it in what has become an almost trademark ruthless professionalism. The York squad does look very thin, but those stepping in will have a chance to stake a claim, so always a potentially dangerous early stage in the game that will need to be managed and overcome.
Regardless of the score, I will be smiling to be back in my second home.
Enjoy the game Jack, and everyone.

York are further hindered by not being able to field Ata Hingano. Pity, we might have been able to say our farewells. Just placed Bongser's most bullish GUESS of the season on SuperLeigh Predictor - home win by 64!

Bongser will get his coat!

Well, with York struggling to raise 17 players, I'm going for Leigh 72 York nil. Hopefully, if we make it to SL, we will see more competitive games. The Champ has just been a 2 horse race. Fax are pushing Fev for 2nd place but can't see them doing it now. It will be the same next season with Toulouse and either Fev or Leigh. Hopefully, IMG will increase teams in SL and make the Champ more even.
