Some Salford 'fans' are imploding on Twitter, due to Man Utd playing at the same time, and splitting their allegiance. It could be a very sparsely populated stadium on Friday and after yesterday's loss to Leigh it will be interesting to see how the Salford side reacts!

I still thing we will be lucky to get any sort of result at salford but you nether know never say nether

Leigh beating a Super League club will ensure that the three weakest SL clubs in the middle 8's all start to twitch a little. At this point it would appear that yourselves and Hudds is the most likely Million Pound game. If that happens and Danny Brough is in the correct frame of mind....happy days.

Talking out of your 'arris as usual. Nothing at all has changed in what we need to do, and having watched Rovers push Leeds all the way on Friday, we certainly have nowt to fear from Leigh.

It's maybe a bit more of a complicated situation than some assumed, but that result doesn't make Rovers job any harder.

Didn't really mean points wise more performance wise Salford coming off a loss and on 2 points will, I feel, be a harder challenge than if they'd won. Leigh play Leeds last I think? Which if Leeds are safe by then and Leigh need the points that's got to point to a Leigh win. I wish I shared stans positivity but I think it's looking tough, I'll be keeping everything crossed

Re: Middle 8 Fixtures : Sun Aug 14, 2016 4:29 pm  

I don't think the Salford result is bad for you bad for Salford yes and expect a performance from them Friday, you will beat all the championship clubs your do or die I still feel is the giants at home which you JUST got over in regular super league if you lose that its MPG and squeaky bum time, the only thing this weekends results prove is London are as good as Leigh and putting more points on Batley than you puts your result against them in perspective the trip there will be a tricky one as well this week as blow these qualifiers wide open and got the super league team worried I'm sure

is it possible for 2 super league teams to be in the winner takes all game

Definitely. If Leigh manage to do the business against Fev and Batley that'll take them to 8 points. Don't expect them to win against your lot as it's at your ground but I wouldn't like to be Hudds having to travel to Leigh after yesterday showed they can beat a SL team (and one that strolled past Hudds the week before). Win that and they should be top 3.

Also Leigh play us (Leeds) the final week at Headingley. Now IF Leeds have managed to secure their safety by then we could well be resting/not selecting any players that need to go off for post season operations which could make things interesting.
