If it does, it will be only for 1 season. Ours won't be as funny as yours to Salford in the MPG last season though, I enjoyed it that much, I 'nipped upstairs' for a wink....ha ha !

Fair few hungry players who haven't had much look in these last few month. I for one wish Leigh no ill will .Widnes an Cats less so but this is the system we are in. Not looked but what is Warringtons squad compared to last week? I still feel we will go close tomorrow .

Re: Team to play Catalans : Thu Sep 14, 2017 9:59 pm  

I know Craig, when we got promoted last season, we rested a few v Batley & Leeds, but it didn't really affect other clubs. You & Warrington can do the same, after all Leigh, Widnes, Catalans & London, have had the opportunity to be in SL 2018 already.

I wouldn't count us out of tomorrow's game. Get yours won and Il see you for lobby and a brew next year

I've just read the Toronto thread on Leighs board and can see Budgies beef. Individual posters will always have their dislike of certain clubs for own reasons but having seen majority of games in qualifiers Leigh are better team than wid or cats.Still not sure why they stunk against Vikings at home?Hard path too safety now.i see DIM has waded in on Leigh again whilst creaming over Toronto and french.strange man/woman but at least Bentham looked after his mob again tonight

Up til last week I thought Widnes were playing the best of the M8's, they seemed to have hit form at the right time. Couple of injuries and they look like favourites for the drop.

Whilst being tremendously impressed with the (deserved) way you have regained SL status, I have to confess (as a Leyther) to being very disappointed with your selection for the visit of Catalans. For obvious reasons, I hope you beat them, but feel you have just given them a huge 'leg up' in the battle to avoid the MPG. Our coach and owner (surprisingly ) have maintained a dignified silence, but I notice that Mr. Betts, is on record as fearing your guys would be suffering a hangover for the Catalans game!

Ah well, hopefully the ten new faces haven't been celebrating all week. Good luck tomorrow!

Rhinos did the same last season against Hudds after they had qualified. Hudds win put us in the MPG and we all know how that turned out. Don't remember you raising the issue though.

Whoever is relegated will find it more difficult to bounce back at the first time of asking. Cannot see either Leigh or Widnes maintaining their SL gates which will put pressure on the finances. It is difficult to say how Cats fans would react. London improved this year after 2016 and I feel will be even stronger in 2018. Toronto will be somewhat of an unknown quantity but are strengthening their squad.

You seem too optimistic to say you will be only out of SL for one season should you be relegated. I'm glad you can raise a laugh though. I don't think I would be able to if in your position.

That one slipped me by, last season. I think, belatedly, Leeds were out of order then. I was probably too concerned about how we were doing, to appreciate what Leeds did. Mind you, that's nothing compared with my concern this season. So, it looks like you admit that you weren't impressed with Leeds' antics last season? Maybe you can understand my feelings now, then?

Nevertheless, I'll be rooting for a Rovers' win tonight and obviously, a Leigh one! Once again, well done though.
