I've been telling a friend of mine i don't expect any SL side from this season not to be in SL next season because i didn't think a championship side could match a SL team on fitness. What i have been saying is Leigh are a professional side playing amateurs (bar 1 or 2 others) week in week out so they are going to win. Alright, they beat wakie and salford but at the time they couldn't buy a win. Rovers where out on their feet today first half, Leigh threw all they had at us in the 1st half and to be honest, i thought we had blown it and my theory was right out of the window. Thank f that Rovers proved my thinking right. Leigh...not lost at home for 2 yrs, Leigh not lost at home for 30 games...Leigh had 2 weeks rest on us...Leigh at full strength as far as i am aware...Leigh home support driving them on...Rovers away record shocking, rovers out played in first half...rovers 18 points down at half time...yet...second half, Leigh looked knackered and Rovers just did what they had to. I might be eating my words after game 7 but after today, if Leigh couldn't take a really under performing SL side at home then they won't be in SL next season.
PS, i thought Leigh where great in the 1st half, some really fantastic play and tries, a pleasure to watch, entertaining rugby which is what this great game of our is all about.
